Metal matrix composites (MMCs) offer considerable potential for providing lightweight components exhibiting high strength, high stiffness, good wear resistance and improved elevated temperature performance in comparison to the matrix alloy. Consequently they are applicable to a wide range of aerospace products. The potential offered by this class of materials has resulted in considerable effort being expanded to address the challenges posed by the design*** and manufacture of aerospace components from these materials. These efforts have culminated in the successful design, manufacture and test of representative aircraft components from metal matrix composites.
