About the Authors

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.
- The first comprehensive book on this important class of new materials
- Hardback edition received very favourable reviews

Reviews & endorsements
"...provides a comprehensive introduction to this embryonic field of materials science through: an exposition of the properties and the microstructural characteristics of these materials, a discussion of the production processes for MMCs, and a presentation of some of the industrial applications of MMCs....It should be featured in the personal library of anyone who is actively involved in the field." Brian Thompson, Applied Mechanics Review
"The most comprehensive text to date on the production, structure, properties and applications of MMCs." International Aerospace Abstracts
"...a welcome addition to the literature on metal matrix composites." K.K. Cchawla, Materials Characterization
"...an excellent introduction to the class of composite materials with metal matrices, with emphasis on the research work carried out over the last 30 years at Cambridge University. This results in some excellent coverage of the physical metallurgy involved, such as the interface region, fracture, and thermal effects....a good introduction for the student, scientist or engineer who is becoming more involved in new classes of composite materials." Ernest G. Wolff, Materials Research Bulletin
