Abstract

Conventional alloys do not always provide the required properties under all service conditions, a problem which can be overcome by reinforcing those alloys with ceramic particles. Such reinforced metallic alloys are universally known as metal matrix composites (MMCs). MMCs have received considerable attention in the present material world owing to their high strength, stiffness, and high wear resistance compared to unreinforced alloys. The physical and chemical properties of the reinforcement particles influence the process significantly and determine the nature of dispersion in the metallic matrix. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of MMCs, each using different matrix and reinforcement, are discussed in detailed.
