Modification to metal matrix composites designation system

M

etal matrix composite (MMC) are engineered materials

made from a metal and another conventional material

like ceramic, carbon and hard or soft metal. However, MMCs

with Aluminium as the matrix predominates all other metals

combined. Hence, Aluminium Association developed a

standard system of designating MMCs to clarify the matrix,

reinforcement, percentage composition and the form of

reinforcement. This paper reviewed the existing standard by

adding information on the size of the reinforcement which was

found to have a remarkable effect on the producedMMC. Other

researchers corroborated the effect of particle size on MMC

and should not be neglected when identifying the composites.
