More Information
Summary:Metal matrix composites are disclosed that have a low coefficient of thermal expansion and low density. The composite includes a matrix formed from a low CTE metal alloy in which micron-scale ceramic particles are homogeneously dispersed therein. Methods for producing such composites are also disclosed. The composites also have improved yield strength and specific modulus.
