Optimized microstructure could be obtained by a careful choice of processing technique and selection of materials. Metal-matrix composites (MMCs) that have been developed significantly over the last five decades possess valuable properties. MMCs can be tailored with myriad of variations to suit for a particular application and hence they belong to a unique class of materials. However, it is important to understand the microstructural aspects to understand the behavior of the component in different environmental and working conditions. This article presents an overview on different microstructural aspects of metal matrix composites.}, number={3}, journal={MATERIALS CHARACTERIZATION}, author={Chidambaram, A and Bhole, SD}, year={1997}, month={Mar}, pages={187–191} }
