This book recapitulates the significance of metal composites in modern sustainable industry, along with the critical review of process optimization techniques 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, and 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 detailed learning about recent industrial advancements of diverse metal composites: aluminum, copper, and magnesium, and their significance in the modern workable industry. The next two chapters highlight a detailed analysis of particle, short-fiber, and continuous-fiber materials used for composite fabrication. Further chapters discuss the behavior of composites under various testing conditions, process optimization techniques, tribological technologies, lubrication knowledge including additives and lubricants, and improvements to the tribological properties of MMCs 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.
