The Role of Tetra Hybrid Reinforcements on the Behavior of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites

Table 1

Comparison of monolithic and single and hybrid reinforced aluminum matrix composites [14–21].

Properties for comparison	Material type
	Monolithic (pure Al or its alloys)	single reinforced aluminum composite	Hybrid reinforced aluminum composites
Physical	Insufficient	Good	Best
Mechanical	Low-to-medium	Medium-to-high	Very high or superior from the others
Wear	Wearable	Depends on the percentage of reinforcement, still insufficient	Excellent wear resistance
Corrosion	Moderate	Depends on the type of reinforcement, still no enough	Excellent corrosion resistance
CTE	High	Low	Very low CTE
