Industrial Composites, Optimization Methods, and Tribological Considerations

This book recapitulates the significance of metal composites in modern sustainable Industry along with the critical review of process optimization technique and tribological aspects for industrial and automotive applications.

The book aims to cover all the topics relevant to the mechanical characteristics of metal matrix composites (MMCs) such as reinforcement types (particles, short fiber, long or continuous fibers), their effect on the microstructure of composites and significance in enhancing the materials’ mechanical and physical properties. The first two chapters aim to provide the detailed learning about recent industrial advancements of diverse metal composites: aluminium, copper, and magnesium and their significance in modern workable industry. The next two chapters highlight detailed analysis of particle, short-fiber, and continuous-fibers used for composite fabrication. Further chapters will discuss the behavior of composites under different testing conditions, process optimization techniques, various tribological technologies, knowledge about lubrication technologies, additives and lubricants, and lastly improvements in tribological properties of metal matrix composites for industrial and automotive applications.

Industrial Composites, Optimization Methods, and Tribological Considerations is an essential book for experts, scientists, and engineers who are involved in the domain of Composite Materials, Tribology and Process Optimization.
