Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are composite materials containing at least two constituent parts – a metal part and a material or a different metal part. The metal matrix is reinforced with the other ...

For years, there has been a growing demand for materials that are lightweight with high mechanical strength. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) were developed in order to fulfill this demand and provide ...

Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications.

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...
