A metal matrix composite (MMC) is a composite material with at least two constituent parts, one being a metal necessarily. MMCs are usually made by dispersing a reinforcing material into a metal matrix. The reinforcement surface can be coated to prevent any chemical reaction with the matrix. Various processes used for the manufacturing of MMCs are generally classified into liquid-state and solid-state processes based on the metallic matrix's temperature during the processing. Commonly used liquid-state processes include squeeze casting, stir casting, compocasting, and spray forming, whereas solid-state processes include powder metallurgy, diffusion bonding, and Friction Stir Welding (FSW).
MARKET DYNAMICS
Increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials in the automotive and aerospace industries is anticipated to drive the market over the coming years. These composites comprise metal alloys reinforced with fibers, particulates, whiskers, or wires. Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) have extensive demand in the aerospace and automotive industries owing to their superior mechanical properties and a broad scope of application. Moreover, increasing fuel prices have triggered the need for lightweight components to boost the fuel-efficiency, which, in turn, is projected to have a positive impact on market growth. However, factors such as low yield, high manufacturing costs, and complex fabrication methods are expected to limit the market growth.
