Abstract

Metal matrix composite materials which utilize discontinuous-type reinforcement undergo unit operations associated with ingot, powder or cast metal manufacturing in addition to their own unique operations. An attempt is made to summarize the scope of operations for both cast- and powder-based processing and identify processing issues which cause matrix-reinforcement interface and property variability in discontinuous metal matrix composites.
