Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) with improved mechanical properties and their relatively reduced cost have made them attractive for wide range of applications like aerospace, automotive, sports and electronics industries. The advantages of particulate-reinforced composites over others are their formability with cost advantage. Further, they are inherent with heat and wear resistant properties. In general, the Al-MMCs are found to have higher elastic modulus, tensile and fatigue strength over monolithic alloys. It is evident that the structures and properties of the reinforcements control the mechanical properties of the composites. However, it is difficult to establish a direct relationship between mechanical properties of the composites, volume fraction, type of reinforcement and surface nature of reinforcements.
