Abstract
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are a family of strong yet lightweight
materials that have many industrial uses, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, and
thermal management industries. By choosing the best combinations of matrix,
reinforcement, and manufacturing techniques, the structural and functional features of
MMCs may be adjusted to meet the requirements of diverse industrial applications. The
matrix, the interaction between them, and the reinforcement all affect how MMCs
behave. Yet, there is still a significant problem in developing a large-scale, costeffective MMC production method with the necessary geometrical and operational
flexibility. This chapter provides an overview of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs),
their historical development, properties of MMCs, classification of MMCs, diverse
applications, and the relevance of MMCs to sustainable industries.
Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Composite materials, Industry 4.0, MMC, Machine learning, Sustainability.
