Abstract
The limitations of engineering are mainly attributed to the limitations in the
availability of materials that can deliver all the desired properties for a given end
application. But, due to the development of composites, there has been an enormous
advancement in industries like automobile, sports, power generation, defense, and
aerospace. Metal Matrix Composites became one of the sought-after materials because
of their high specific properties, such as strength-to-weight ratio. Even though these
materials exhibit enhanced mechanical and thermal properties, their usage is still
limited. Some of the reasons include the scaling up of processing and the uncertainty in
their joining and corrosion behavior. This study attempts to bring together information
on metal matrix composites processing and corrosion behavior, mainly focusing on
Magnesium and Aluminum metal matrix composites.
Keywords: Aluminum composites, Corrosion, Magnesium composites, Mechanical properties, Metal matrix composites, Processing methods.
