what i s metal matrix composites?

It's a material with at least two constituent parts - i.e. made up of a metal (e.g. aluminium) and some other material like a ceramic.\n\nThe composite is such that the matrix constituent reaches throughout the whole material - so it's not just like two materials glued together. The second constituent, which is also called the reinforcement, 'wraps around' the matrix and can also protect it from weathering damage, fatigue etc.\n\nA good example is TANK ARMOR.

Titanium is amongst them. Tungsten and wolfram too. That's all i can think off right now.

I'm not familiar with this material, but sometimes websites that give info on materials and compounds include IR-specs.  Or, if you have a sample, call your local university.  Some one may be able to help you there.

You can find international suppliers at the reference.  It appears that many materials are used including plastic and aluminum.

Easton Stealth™ Overview:\nSc900™: 10% stronger than than the reliable Sc888™ alloy. Advanced Metal Matrix formula combines Aluminum, Scandium, Zinc, Copper, and Magnesium for superb strength.\ncXn™: Easton's patented ConneXion™ Technology. A two-piece design that uses an elastomer connector to mechanically interlock the handle to the barrel. The two pieces to act independently for a wide sweet spot and minimum vibration.\nCNT: Acronym for Carbon Nanotube. Its structure is one billionth of a meter in diameter. Because of their size, surface area, geometry and purity, carbon nanotubes are magnitudes stronger than continuous carbon fibers and metals used in manufacturing today.\nPro-Tack Grip: Soft and cushioned for a great feel with a tacky finish to improve the batter's grip

Are you looking for composites in biomedical fields?\n\nAnything used in biomedial applications has to produce as few allergic reactions as possible.  So some metals are out, since some people are allergic to metals.  Biomed pieces also have to be light, since it wouldn't help to have a prosthetic arm that weighs more than the rest of your body.\n\nSo composite materials are those that require several components, sometimes arranged in layers  Think for instance of carbon fiber.  It is made of several sheets that are soaked in pitch and baked to achieve a solid piece.   It is used in prosthetic limbs, and it is a composite that is non-metallic.  Carbon fiber is light, strong, and can be made into many shapes.\n\nHope this helps.

Depends on what you are fabricating. \nAre you talking about making the material itself or fabricating structural components from stainless materials?\n\nAnd what type of material? What grade of stainless? What configuration? Angle iron or I-beam? Welded or bolted?\n\nSounds like you need to talk with an experienced estimator and/or structural engineer.

Smart materials are a class of materials such as piezoceramics, shape memory materials etc. which have the capacity to produce a specific response to a stimuli. The examples can be a specific displacment for an applied force, a specific change in shape to a change in temperature and in the case of shape memory alloys the ability of a material to remember the original shape and recover that shape with change of temperature.

Previously cast iron was used. Now its Aluminium. Work is going on a Ti-Mg alloy.

There are so many durable light materials that have been found or invented. but I would say Aluminium bcoz most of the industrial materials are based on Al made products (Jets, watches and cars). But carbon fibre is also a light material compared to steel. But I don't know abt the durability. Mainly use in Performance cars (Formula 1)
