Machining and Machining Modeling of Metal Matrix Composites—A Review

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

This chapter reviews the most common machining processes used in metal matrix composites (MMCs), such as turning, milling, and drilling. Apart from the difficulties faced in each of these processes in the case of MMCs and some possible solutions, certain other important factors, such as tool wear mechanisms and the final surface quality, are discussed. Furthermore, the machinability of MMCs, in a number of different machining processes, is examined. Tapping, grinding, honing, sawing, and micro-machining are also considered. Additionally, the manufacturing of MMC products through nonconventional machining processes is discussed, as alternatives to the aforementioned processes. Finally, modeling of MMCs and their machining will be examined. The analysis will concentrate on the most popular methods used, namely finite elements method, molecular dynamics, and soft computing techniques.
