Abstract
The strength and the physical properties of composite materials are no doubt improved by the presence of the reinforcing particles. However, the higher energy requirement, the rapid tool wear and the associated poor surface finish during machining of metal matrix composites (MMCs) are leading drawbacks of the presence of the reinforcement particles. As a result, the applications of MMCs are still limited in certain areas. Understanding the deformation behavior and the effects of the reinforcement on the chip formation and the machinability is therefore crucial for proper tool selection, machining cost minimization and the expansion of MMCs to higher-volume applications.
