Description

This book gives a comprehensive, integrated coverage of metal matrix composites, including the background to analytical-, experimental-, production-, and application-oriented aspects. Clear pictorial descriptions are given of the basic principles governing various properties and characteristics. These encompass mechanical, thermal, electrical, environmental, and wear behavior. Coverage also extends to material processing and component fabrication aspects and a survey of commercial usage.
