Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are now attracting enormous interest, because of their superiority in strength, stiffness, wear resistance, elevated temperature strength or other engineering properties. Parallel to commercialisation, there are research centres throughout the world that are actively researching further development and exploitation of net or near net shape fabrication process. In this book, the production and characterisation of SiC particles reinforced Al alloy matrix composites produced by squeeze casting are investigated. The effects of volume fraction of SiC on microstructure, mechanical properties are examined as well. Also the results of the production of gravity cast matrix alloy, to determine the effect of pressure on microstructure and properties are described in this book.
