Metal matrix composite
A material in which a continuous metallic phase (the matrix) is combined with another phase (the reinforcement) that constitutes a few percent to around 50% of the material's total volume. In the strictest sense, metal matrix composite materials are not produced by conventional alloying. This feature differentiates most metal matrix composites from many other multiphase metallic materials, such as pearlitic steels or hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys.
