Reinforcement Materials Improve the Characteristics of Metal Matrix Composites—A Review
摘要
In today's world of engineering materials, every material should have a set of characteristics. It is the driving force behind the creation of several alloys, polymers, composites, and other materials. Metal matrix composites have a wide range of characteristics. The characteristics of metal matrix composites are sometimes determined by the matrix, which is a metallic element. Metal matrix composites’ characteristics are occasionally influenced by the reinforcement, which can be metallic or nonmetallic. In this work, we examine the influence of reinforcement on different features of metal matrix composites, such as self-lubrication, self-healing, and self-cleaning. In this review, we also conclude on the impact of reinforcement strategies.
