Aluminium matrix composites offer a combination of properties such as lower weight, higher strength, higher wear resistance and many more. The stir casting process is easy to use, involves low cost and is suitable for mass production compared to other manufacturing processes. An in-depth look at recently manufactured aluminium matrix composites and their impact on particle distribution, porosity, wettability, microstructure and mechanical properties of Al matrix composites have all been studied in relation to stirring parameters. Several significant concerns have been raised about the sample’s poor wettability, porosity and particle distribution. Mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties are frequently studied in conjunction with variations in reinforcement proportion but few studies on the effect of stirrer blade design and parameters such as stirrer shape, dimensions and position have been reported. To study the effect of stirrer blade design on particle distribution, computational fluid dynamics is used by rese­archers. Reported multiphysics models were k-ε model and the k-ω model for simulation. It is necessary to analyse these models to determine which one best solves the real-time problem. Stirrer design selection and analysis of its effect on particle distribution using simulation, while taking underlying physics into account, can be well-thought-out as a future area of research in the widely adopted stir casting field.
