Spray Forming Technique for Aluminium Matrix Materials: A Review

Abstract

The spray forming technique is one of the emerging technologies that exhibit the near net shape forming capability of materials with improved mechanical and tribological properties, which enhance the performance of the material. This technique has the relatively high rate of deposition and solidification, which provides the fine size particles and their minimum segregation. Economically benefited, single step spray forming technique is a flexible and wide range of materials can be produced that are not feasible by any other techniques. This review paper provides the overview of spray forming technique to produce aluminium matrix materials. The major focus has been given to (a) microstructural features, (b) influence of process parameters, (c) porosity formation and its control and (d) evolution of mechanical and tribological properties. This review will be conclude the further recommendation for new research and direction to produce aluminium matrix materials for different applications.
