An overview of the influence of agro waste reinforcement on aluminium matrix composites

The rise in demand for cheap and high performing engineering products for numerous application has continually attract the researcher’s attention in the field of material science. The recent projections of eco-friendly, sustainable, future green and renewable manufactured goods allude increase in the use of agricultural waste in the upcoming decades. However, the high cost of synthetic reinforcement is a challenge, hence the need to source locally for an alternative reinforcement, cheap and readily available. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of studies carried out by several authors on the influence of various agro waste used in reinforcement of Aluminum matrix composites, highlights their influence on the mechanical properties, various applications of AMC and challenges encountered in the development of reinforced AMC.
