Chapter 4 Metal Matrix Composites - Princeton University
www.princeton.eduMetal Matrix Composites FINDINGS Metal matrix composites (MMCs) usually con-sist of a low-density metal, such as aluminum or magnesium, reinforced with particulate or fibers of a ceramic material, such as silicon carbide or graphite. Compared with unreinforced metals, MMCs offer higher specific strength and stiffness,
GUIDE TO COMPOSITES - Gurit
www.gurit.comMetal Matrix Composites (MMC’s) - Increasingly found in the automotive industry, these materials use a metal such as aluminium as the matrix, and reinforce it with fibres, or particles, such as silicon carbide. Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC’s) - …

ripublication.comScientists also began looking at metal matrix composites (MMCs) for a solution. MMCs typically use an inorganic, ceramic fiber or particulate phase to add heat resistance to light-weight metals and to lower their coefficient of thermal expansion. The reinforcement can also add strength and stiffness, but toughness tends to be lower ...

Recent Advancements in Polymer Matrix Composites Raw Materials Main raw materials of carbon composites are polymeric resins and carbon fibers. Cost of carbon fiber is directly related to the cost and yield of precursor from which

5 Longitudinal and Transverse Properties of Composites
nanoed.tul.czA more likely situation is that the fiber and the matrix fail at different strains. One example of this could be a metal matrix composite represented by Fig. 5-4. In this case the fiber breaks in a brittle manner and the matrix exhibits ductility where the maximum strength occurs before final
