A WEAR RESISTANT PART HAVING A METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE (MMC) AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE (MMC)

摘要

Metal matrix composite (MMC) is a material which consists of metal alloys reinforced with continuous, discontinuous fibers, whiskers or particulates, the end properties of which are intermediate between the alloy and reinforcement. Metal matrix composites (MMC) have many potential engineering applications. The aim of the present invention is to develop MMC by three stage hybridization process. This process ensures an alternative method of development of MMC with more homogeneity for rapid casting applications.
