Abstract
ALUMINIUM was first produced commercially almost 100 years ago and is still a long way from realising its potential. Its high ductility, strength and toughness, light weight and corrosion resistance properties are well-known. Mixed with particles or fibres of other materials, such as alumina, aluminium is now becoming the basis of a whole range of new metal matrix composites (MMC's) providing an extreme high strength-to-weight ratio.
