Abstract
Over the last two decades, global manufacturers have incessantly concentrated on developing advanced materials’ infused components. Automotive, aerospace, and structural industries widely use monolithic matrix materials like ferrous and nonferrous alloys. The ferrous materials have good properties but also have high density-to-weight ratio, which affects the products by increasing the components and vehicle body weight, thus reducing the fuel efficiency of the vehicle; hence, researchers have been working on replacing ferrous materials by introducing aluminum composites. Al-MMCs (aluminum metal matrix composites) are the fast replacing heavyweight ferrous materials. These materials satisfy the customer needs and technological demands such as devices and machinery that are energy-efficient, more durable, lightweight, and cost-efficient. This chapter describes a general introduction of composite materials, types of composites, Al- MMCs, and waste residues of Al-MMCs. The chapter examines the waste residue particles and their types, and replacement of synthetic reinforcement particles with these waste residues. Furthermore, the chemical composition, waste particle preparation, and mechanical and tribological properties are also explored. It has been found that the use of waste residue particles in a certain amount to Al material, the Al composite weight was reduced and gave better results than the synthetic added reinforced particles.
