41  ALUMINIUM MATRIX COMPOSITES – AN OVERVIEW ON THE MATERIALS SUBSTITUTION AND EFFICIENT USE OF MATERIALS   Ciprian Bulei 1, Mihai-Paul Todor 2, Imre Kiss 3  1-2University Politehnica Timisoara, Faculty of Engineering Hunedoara, Doctoral School, Timisoara / Hunedoara, Romania 3University Politehnica Timisoara, Faculty of Engineering Hunedoara, Department of Engineering & Management, Romania imre.kiss@fih.upt.ro   Abstract  Development of metal matrix composites has been an important innovation in materials engineering over the past decades. Metal matrix composites offer several attractive advantages over traditional engineering materials due to their superior properties. Therefore, the metal matrix composite become economical alternatives to the monolithic alloys due to their improved specific strength, stiffness and wear resistance combined with better physical properties such as low density and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Materials substitution significantly affects the trend toward more efficient use of monolithic materials. The increasing use of alternative materials in aircraft, automotive and construction applications has motivated the metal industry to provide lighter weight aluminium alloys and metal matrix composites. This paper presents an overview of aluminium matrix composite systems on aspects relating to processing of matrix from re–melted aluminium wastes.  Key words: metal matrix composites, aluminium matrix, re–melted aluminium wastes  Acknowledgement: This work has been carried out under the project with the title “Doctoral and postdoctoral scholarships for research of excellence”, being co–financed from the European Social Fund, through the Sectorial Operational Program for Human Resources Development. We are immensely grateful to our colleagues from Faculty of Engineering Hunedoara, University Politehnica Timisoara, for their comments on an earlier version of the manuscript. We thank for their assistance that greatly improved the manuscript.
