ABSTRACT

In the recent era of technology, the demands for metal matrix composite materials are rapidly increased due to their high corrosion-resistance property and good machineability. Due to this, it is mostly used in the field of aircraft, aerospace, and automotive industries. But it is very difficult to machine these composite materials by traditional machining methods. The constituents of composites are called the individual material that makes up them. The advantages of metal matrix composite are having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion with high stiffness and specific strength and better fatigue resistance. Composites are not only used for their properties but they are also used to enhance their structural properties. The composite is defined as follows: “The composites are compound materials which differ from alloys by the fact that the individual components retain their characteristics but are so incorporated into the composite as to take advantage only of their attributes and not of their shortcomings”.
