process is mainly associated with thermoplastics, it has also adapted itself with the thermosets. Production of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) Like polymer matrix composite, metal matrix composite can also be produced by various techniques. The final selection of the suitable process is also based on the desired kind, quantity and distribution of the reinforcement components, the matrix alloy and the application of the MMCs. By using different manufacturing method, there is possibility that the processing
