Aluminum matrix composites (AMC) find a broad spectrum of industrial applications owing to their excellent anisotropic properties. Commonly used reinforcing materials in AMC include SiC, C and Aramid/Glass fibres. However, higher costs incurred in processing reinforcing materials lead to excessive t...
