Abstract

The paper presents a review of current information in the field of machining and production of permanent joints of low-filled and high-filled metal matrix composites (MMCs) based on aluminum alloys, reinforced with various reinforcing fillers. The comparison of technological methods of joining of aluminum MMCs obtained by different manufacturing methods is given. Such modern methods and technologies of forming and obtaining permanent joints of parts from aluminum МMCs as ultrasonic turning and milling, friction welding with mixing are considered, high power diode laser welding. The properties of reinforcing components for metal matrices and their influence on the wear of the cutting tool and the quality of the resulting surface are shown. Analysis of foreign experience for the appropriateness of decisions Lee–Schaeffer and Ernst–Merchant in processing of aluminum MMCs and technologies, laser welding and brazing of highly filled backings of Al–SiC. At the end of the review, conclusions are drawn and the latest trends in the field of aluminum MMCs processing and the formation of the connection of final products from them are indicated.
