Effect of Nanoparticles in Reinforced Metal Matrix Composite on the Machinability Characteristics - A Review

Abstract:

Metal Matrix nanoComposites (MMNC) refer to materials consisting of a ductile metal or alloy matrix in which some nanosized reinforcement materials is implanted. These materials combine metal and ceramic features, i.e., ductility and toughness with high strength. Thus, metal matrix nanocomposites are suitable for production of materials with high strength in shear/compression processes and high service temperature capabilities. Both Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) with Carbon nanoTubes (CNT) nanocomposites hold promise, but also pose challenges for real success. In the present paper deals an inclusive review of literature in effect of nanoparticles in reinforced metal matrix composites on the machinability characteristics of the composite materials.
