Assessment of Metal Matrix Composites for Innovations
Metal matrix composites (MMC) have been subject of scientific investigation and applied research for about two decades but only in the past few years these advanced materials became realistic candidates in engineering components, such as electronic heat sinks, automotive drive shafts, ground vehicle brake rotors, jet fighter aircraft fins or explosion engine components. Their greatest potential is the large variety in combining matrix and reinforcement and enables tailor-made material propert
