Study on the mechanical behaviour of Metal Matrix Composites (MMC)

Materials having metals as the base and separate, usually ceramic phases, added as
reinforcements to improve the characteristics are known as metal matrix composites. whiskers
and particles are examples of possible reinforcements. By changing the type of ingredients and their volume percent, metal matrix composite properties can be adjusted. They provide a
superior mix of qualities that no monolithic material currently in use can match, and as a
result, the aerospace and automotive industries are using them more frequently. MMCs' main
advantage over other materials is their increased strength and hardness per unit weight.
