Due to their high specific strength, superior wear resistance, lower thermal expansion and lightweight, metal matrix composites (MMCs) are used as substitute for conventional materials in some engineering applications such as aerospace, electronics, automotive, medical and military industries [1−2]. Matrix, reinforcement and nature of the interface affect the properties of these composites, and reinforcement materials are generally used in the form of particles, whiskers or fibers in different fractions ranging from few percentages up to 60%.
