The prospects of metal matrix composite (MMC) technology and its noteworthy application in the automotive industry is reviewed. Some examples of MMC products commercialized in Japan, USA and Europe are introduced and the reasons for their success analyzed. The motivation for the employment of MMC components in the automotive sector is based on the requirement for weight reduction and the pursuit of high efficiency in engines. The factors influencing the conventional and advanced forming routes for MMCs are listed. Finally, the cost-to-quality ratio evaluation of MMCs is also performed in order to predict the further commercialization of these promising materials.
