Metal Composites
A section of Journal of Composites Science (ISSN 2504-477X).
Section Information
The section “Metal Composites” focuses on advanced engineered materials that combine a metallic base (matrix) with discrete or continuous reinforcing phases (e.g., ceramic fibers, particles, whiskers, or carbon nanotubes), integrating the inherent advantages of metals and reinforcements. The metal matrix provides good ductility, thermal conductivity, and machinability, while the reinforcements endow the material with enhanced strength, stiffness, wear resistance, and high-temperature performance, causing MMCs (metal matrix composites) to outperform traditional monolithic metals in comprehensive properties and be able to adapt to extreme industrial application scenarios. MMCs are widely used in high-end manufacturing and strategic emerging industries where traditional metals struggle to meet performance requirements.
