For some years now metal matrix composites (MMCs) with a light metal matrix have been successfully applied in the automotive industry, for example in fiber-reinforced pistons or hybrids for crankcases. A further important field of industrial applications of these high-tech materials is the aerospace industry. Since the properties of MMCs can be directly designed "into" the material, making them truly custom-made, they can fulfill all the demands set by design engineers. This book surveys the latest results and development possibilities for MMCs as engineering and functional materials. It is thus of utmost value to all materials scientists and engineers seeking in-depth background information on the potentials these materials have to offer in research, development and design engineering.
