Ultra-precision machining of metal matrix composites

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs)are gaining popularity in industrial applications because of their improved properties over those alloys that are not reinforced. Silicon carbide (SiC)particles are often used as the reinforcement particles. However, because of the high hardness of SiC, machining cost c...
