This document discusses the use of metal matrix composites (MMCs) in automotive applications. It lists 7 properties and the materials used to achieve those properties, such as wear resistance using silicon carbide or graphite reinforced MMCs. It also lists 8 MMC applications in automobiles based on their properties, such as self-lubricating MMCs for bearings. The document also compares 4 manufacturing methods for MMCs and their advantages. Finally, it provides properties of 5 common ceramics used in MMCs like silicon carbide, aluminum oxide and titanium carbide. It lists two functional gradient material processing methods - solid state and liquid state.
