Prof. M. Anthony Xavior
Composites with various ingredients were developed and utilized for different engineering applications including aerospace sector over many decades. One among them is the metal matrix composites which, have been transmuted from a matter of scientific and intellectual interest to a material of technological and commercial importance. Characterization and property evaluation of the metal matrix composites developed with combinations of various matrix and reinforcement materials with a focus on aerospace applications will be presented. The significance of the reinforcement materials and the innovations in the processing methods to develop MMCs suitable for aerospace applications will also be addressed.
