ALUMINUM BASED HYBRID NANO COMPOSITES: A REVIEW ON REINFORCEMENT, MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Recent demands of advance engineering domains are satisfied by the new generation hybrid nano metal matrix composites (HNMMCs). The demands are reached due to their improved performance characteristics, reduced production cost and optimistic weight reduction factors. The behavior of these hybrid-nano metal matrix composites is depends on the mechano-chemical combination of different reinforcing particles with the metal matrix also the process parameters are associated while synthesis of these composites. This paper is an attempt to review the different combinations of hybrid nano metal matrix composites and also gives brief discussion about the major development techniques those of having control on mechanical and tribological characteristics. Further improvement on this research field is suggested.
