Abstract:Metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess significantly improved properties including high strength to wear ratio, high modulus, superior wear resistance and corrosion resistance compared to unreinforced alloys. In spite of the advantages, the Aluminium based metal matrix composites have not yet found a wide employment in the commercial applications, because the the matrix cause serious problems in machining / drilling, such as high drilling forces, tool wear, and poor surface finish due to the hard particles.
