Abstract:
The aerospace industry is desirous to develop materials with enhanced
flexural, specific and compression strength. With modernization of
mankind and increase in research with leaps and bounds has enhanced
the existing materials to their maximum capabilities. Advancement in
technology has necessitated manufacture of new materials streets ahead
of existing materials.
The desire of better properties resulted in development of immense
number of methodologies for constructing new materials out of which
metal matrix composites are of great significance because of their high
strength and ease of tailor ability depending on required application.
Often conventional aluminum alloys are mostly used in aerospace
industry and are on the ball compared to other alloys. This major capture
of industry is because of their high strength, low weight and cost
effectiveness along with ease of recycling.
Since the aluminum alloys are already playing dominant role in aerospace
industry so our research is counter-stoned on development of Al-2024
based matrix composite resulting in properties optimal for aerospace structural material..
