Abstract
Metal matrix composites are considered as a possible material to replace th e materials actually used in some automotive and railway industrial compone nts. Two different ways of taking advantage of the properties of MMCs at lo w cost are presented: locally reinforced aluminium components and new casta ble aluminium MMCs developed by the London & Scandinavian Metallurgy Co.
