Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are advanced materials made from a metal matrix and an additive material, such as ceramic, fibers, or whiskers. Reinforcement is provided to reinforce specific properties, including strength, stiffness, wear resistance, and thermal resistance, while the base metal matrix adds ductility and toughness.

Key Features:

• Mechanical Property Enhancement: The addition of reinforcement to base metal improves strength, hardness, and wear resistance compared to typical metal.
• Thermal and Chemical Stability: Increased resistance to strength degradation with increased temperatures, and the ability to resist corrosion can enhance the use of MMCs in extreme environments.
• Versatile Applications: Used in aerospace components, automotive brake rotors, engine parts, and industrial machinery where a combination of strength, durability, and lightweight is essential.

MMCs (metal matrix composites) combine the ductility of metals with the strength and rigidity of the reinforcing components. The materials’ improved performance makes them suitable for demanding engineering applications. Features like low weight, high durability, superior strength, and high functionality meet the requirements of modern industry.
