out of the varities of metal matrices used in composites viz., Aluminium, Iron, Magnesium, Titanium, Copper etc, Aluminium as a matrix is widely used for various applications due to its light weight, reliable mechanical properties, high thermal and electrical conductivity, ductility, malleability, low coefficient of thermal expansion, better corrosion resistance and may moredesirable properties. Addition of various particulate reinforcements like SiC, Al2O3, Boron, B4C, TiC etc into Aluminium improves there stiffness, specific strength, fatigue, conductivity, creep and fatigue properties, and also improves resistance to wear and corrosion. Of all the particlulates B4C is emerging as a promising reinforcements due to its high hardness, good chemical resistance, good nuclear properties and low density. This paper focusses on the effects of B4C reinforcement on Aluminium matrix composites.
