【 摘 要 】

In the emerging world of technology, metal matrix composites have been playing the vital role in various applications to reduce the weight, increase the physical properties like hardness, tensile strength etc. Among these Aluminium metal matrix composites are the ones where the research is concentrated since Iron and steel can be replaced by Aluminium because of their properties. Thus, the usage of such composites in daily life is difficult because of the tough joining combining process like welding, casting etc. In this paper we are going to review the effects of such Aluminium metal matrix composites when joined using Friction Stir Welding and the related effects on the materials.
