Metal matrix composites : properties and applications (vol 2) / edited by Suneev Anil Bansal; Virat Khanna and Pallav Gupta

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"With a focus on advances in metal matrix composite (MMC) fabrications from a theoretical and experimental perspective, this book describes the recent development for the manufacturing of MMCs, various processing methods and parameters, mechanical properties, and synthesis of MMCs composites. It deals with several multi-criteria decision-making techniques suggested to choose the best materials for application and the effects of reinforcement on chip formation, tool wear and part quality during the machining. Features: Discusses modeling of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) and fabrication of Hybrid MMC's. Covers advanced characterization studies of nanocomposites. Reviews high temperature applications and cobalt -nickel combination materials. Provides inputs regarding optimal selection of percentage of reinforcement materials for MMC's fabrication based on industrial requirements. Focusses on aerospace and automotive industries. This book is aimed at graduate students, researchers and professionals in Micro/Nano science & Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Metallurgy, and Composites"-- Provided by publisher.
