Metal Matrix Composites

Metal Matrix Composites, Two Volume Set cover fabrication, production, manufacturing techniques including micro and nano-reinforcements for hybrid structures, and applications like tribological behaviours, corrosion behaviour, heat exchanger and so forth. It describes synthesis of micro/nano MMCs with multivariate approach for production. Each chapter covers different perspectives of micro/nano reinforcement and related applications.

Features:

• Provides in-depth information on fabrication, production and advanced manufacturing of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) .
• Emphasizes on advanced processing methods like metal 3D printing, additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques.
• Presents detailed analysis on new age reinforcements in Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs).
• Covers details about convergence of hybrid composites from conventional alloys.
• Includes mechanisms and effects of various reinforcement on pertinent properties.

This book aims at Graduate students, Researchers and Professionals in Micro/Nano science & Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Metallurgy, and Composites.
