An overview of the interactions between reinforcements and Al matrices with Si, Cu and Mg as Alloying elements in Aluminum matrix composites: Case of oxide reinforcements

Oxides (Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, ZrO2, Y2O3, CeO2, MgO) are among the most used reinforcements for Aluminum Matrix Composites (AMC); while the combination of Al with Si, Cu and/or Mg excels among the alloying systems used as matrices. Some works in literature s
