Particulate reinforced aluminum matrix composites (PRAMCs) have potential applications in automobile, chemical and aerospace industries due to their excellent mechanical properties such as low density, high strength and adjustable elastic modulus [1-3]. However, the addition of reinforcements (normally ceramic particles or intermetallic) in aluminum matrix decreases substantially the ductility and toughness.
