Hybrid Metal Matrix Composites

Abstract Hybrid metal matrix composites (HMMC’s) are next generation metal matrix composite materials that have the potential of gratifying recent demands of advanced energy applications in the field of aerospace, automobile and biomedical. The MMC’s have to work at elevated temperature or vacuum environment where lubrication using liquid lubricants is ineffective or difficult to achieve; moreover, liquid lubricants are not environmental friendly, since they releases pollutants into environment. Solid lubricants such as graphite, CNT’s, MoS2and graphene have been widely used as secondary reinforcements to meet such operational needs by fabricating green or environmental friendly self lubricating HMMC’s. This article outlines recent advances in the area of self lubricating HMMC’s reinforced with graphite as secondary reinforcement. The focus of the study was on mechanical and tribological behavior of Aluminum and magnesium based self lubricating HMMC’s. The effect of graphite, different hybrid reinforcements and their strengthening mechanisms are also discussed in detail.

Mechanical And Tribological Properties

In recent years, studies of different properties of hybrid metal matrix composites, as well as very detailed issues, have been published. In this article, ready-made iron, graphite, and silicon carbide powders were used to produce the base material and composites. An analysis of some microstructural and mechanical properties, as well as the tribological behavior of metal matrix composites (MMCs), based on FeGr1 sintered material with the single and hybrid addition of a silicon carbide and graphite was undertaken. During the study, the flexural and compressive strength of MMCs were analyzed and changes of the momentary coefficient of friction, the temperature of friction, as well as wear rates of the MMCs tested were monitored. Based on the results, it was revealed that wear rates decreased 12-fold in comparison to the base material when SiC or SiC + Gr were added. Further research into MMCs with ceramic particle additives is proposed.
