Abstract

Composite materials are engineered from two or more materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties. These properties remain separate and distinct at the macroscopic or microscopic scale within the finished structure. These are high density and high strength materials which are used in almost all aspects of the industrial and commercial fields in aircraft, ships, common vehicles, etc. This paper presents a brief review of various explorations on manufacturing of metal matrix composites (MMC's) by stir casting methods.
