The matrix binds the fiber reinforcement, transfers loads between fibers, gives the composite component its net shape and determines its surface qualityA composite matrix may be a polymer, ceramic, metal or carbonPolymer matrices are the most widely used for composites in commercial and high performance aerospace applications.

Metal matrix Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are composite materials that contain at least two constituent parts a metal and another material or a different metalThe metal matrix is reinforced with the other material to improve strength and wearWhere three or more constituent parts are present, it is called a hybrid composite.

In this Chapter, upon a general introduction to composite materials, the properties of reinforcement and matrix materials and the properties of MMC, in particular, are reviewed.

DWA USA is a global leader in the manufacture of aluminum metal matrix composites for improved structural performance through lightweighting, service life extension, and enabling designsWe specialize in semi finished materials and value added finished parts based on extrusion, forging and rolling.

]J.Jenix Rino et al They investigated the mechanical properties of Aluminium alloy composite enhance i.estrengthened by the addition of alumina particle and zircon sand with an overall reinforcement in the Al material matrixThey observed the Hardness and Tensile strength of the composite having higher value at the composite

The present study deals with the addition of reinforcements such as graphite, fly ash, silicon carbide, red mud, organic material etcto the Aluminium matrix in various proportions.

An SCMC is composite material with at least two material elements, one being a continuous matrix phase and the other being a dispersed phase (Fig).SCMC is a special type of composite materialThe unique characteristic of SCMC as compared with other composite materials is that either the dispersion phase or the matrix phase has to be made of SCMUnits.
