Popis: Basalt Fibers are manufactured from crushed basalt igneous rock by the rapid cooling of lava. Due to their low cost and good mechanical properties basalt fibres were used in many applications such as automotive, boat building, civil engineering, wind turbine blades, and sporting goods. This paper reviews the mechanical properties, metallurgical properties and different casting techniques of basalt fibres reinforcement with aluminium alloys of different series. The change in properties such as hardness, tensile strength, and compressive strength, Young’s modulus and ductility of aluminium matrix composites (AMC’s) with basalt fibres reinforcements was discussed.
