Synthesis and Characterization of Metal Matrix Hybrid Composite with Rare Earth Element

Abstract

The crisis of energy, fuel saving and to reduce the environmental pollution have made newlinethe researchers to replace the existing materials with light weight and eco-friendly materials. newlineAluminium alloys have been most popular as lightweight materials due to their high strength, newlinehigh elastic modulus, fine machinability and their availability. The use of aluminium based newlinemonolithic composites/metal matrix composites has overcome the utilization of pure and newlineconventional alloy in aerospace, sports, automotive, marine structures and various engineering newlinesectors etc., as they possess high strength to weight ratio, high hardness, high stiffness and newlinesuperb wear resistance etc. newline
