Deformation processed metal–metal composites (DMMCs) are composites in which both the matrix and the reinforcing phase are ductile metals. The ductility of the metals permits the composite to be heavily deformed by drawing or rolling to reduce the thickness and spacing of the two phases to as small as 10 nm. Their nano‐scale microstructures are exceptionally strong, with strengths approaching whisker strength in some cases. And since the materials are comprised of two essentially pure metals, their electrical conductivities are quite high for current flow in directions parallel to the composite’s filaments or lamellae, leading to numerous potential applications. During the 1990s, continuing research has produced DMMCs in a wide range of matrix metals, including Al, Au, Mg, Sc, and Ti. Methods are also being developed to produce DMMCs with much larger dimensions in rod and sheet forms to permit their use in a wider variety of engineering applications.
