Abstract

The remarkable progress in the fields of aerospace, transportation, electronic packaging, and other industries has sparked a growing need for Al matrix composites (AMCs) with extraordinary mechanical properties. As ideal reinforcements for fabricating lightweight AMCs, oxide ceramics have garnered extensive attention due to their impressive attributes such as exceptional strength, high melting point, commendable chemical stability and resistance to oxidation. Especially, the AMCs reinforced with in situ oxide ceramics have shown more promising prospects for enhancing the compatibility of reinforcement-matrix interface and manipulating reinforcement dispersion compared to the counterparts with ex situ reinforcements, as they usually involve the formation of reinforcements through in situ chemical reactions between elements or compounds. This review focuses on recent advancements in preparation strategies, exploring the in situ reaction mechanisms and microstructural characteristics, as well as unraveling the remarkable mechanical properties of in situ oxide ceramic-reinforced AMCs. The crucial role of in situ reactions in governing reinforcement characteristics such as distribution, size, dimension, and the reinforcement-matrix interfacial structure is particularly underscored. The review is expected to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between the various facets of the subject, which hold significant implications for guiding the development of high-performance AMCs.
