Who Should Attend: This course is valuable for individuals working with advanced materials, particularly those who wish to become involved with metal matrix composites for applications in the aerospace, automotive, sporting and electronic industries. It is also of value for management personnel who make research investment decisions.
Course Overview: This course will cover the science, technology and application of metal matrix composites. Both discontinuous and continuous fiber reinforced metal matrix composites will be considered. The design of the fiber, interface and matrix will be addressed. Fabrication methods will be discussed both for the discontinuous reinforcement
casting, PM, solid state processes, and continuous reinforcementsolid state, casting, and PM. Matrix materials to be addressed will include aluminum, magnesium and titanium. Reinforcements will include SiC, Al203, and B. Applications in aerospace, automobile, electronics and sporting goods will be reviewed.
