Abstract

Metal matrix composites are considered as a possible material to replace the materials actually used in some automotive and railway industrial components. Two different ways of taking advantage of the properties of MMCs at low cost are presented: locally reinforced aluminium components and new castable aluminium MMCs developed by the London & Scandinavian Metallurgy Co. (LSM).
