Abstract
Metal matrix composites are used in a myriad of applications. The high strength-to-weight ratio, enhanced mechanical and thermal properties over conventional materials, and tailorability of properties make them very attractive in a variety of applications. Increasingly MMCs have been used in several areas including (Evans et al. 2003):
