Abstract: Industrial production today requires new improved
materials to meet market demands, which leads to the production of new
materials with improved properties. One kind of response to those
requirements is the development of metal matrix composites (MMCs) with
the aim of obtaining materials with better properties when compared to
conventional metals and alloys. Nowadays, metal matrix nanocomposites
(MMnCs) are being increasingly investigated due to the possibility of
achieving better machinability, high fracture toughness and improved
ductility when compared to conventional composites. Considering the pace
of development and the huge perspective of different classes of
materials, this research aims to provide insight into the mechanical
properties of aluminium nanocomposites. Aluminium nanocomposites are
attracting a lot of attention due to their high strength-to-weight
ratio, wear resistance and low costs, when compared to matrix alloy. In
this paper, an attempt is made to review other research reports and make
a connection between the characteristics of the microstructure and the
mechanical properties, which are dependent on the method of fabrication
and type and content of reinforcement.
Keywords:
aluminium, nanocomposites, nanoreinforcements, manufacturing methods,
mechanical properties.
