Abstract: Metal matrix composites is a new expansion to cutting-edge materials having astounding properties like a weightless, high explicit quality and great consumption obstruction properties. These types of materials are highly desirable industries. Automobile and aerospace industries require materials that have good strength to weight ratio in order to achieve higher fuel efficiency. It is difficult to machine these types of new generation metal matrix composites with conventional machining techniques. For machining these types of composites now a day’s unconventional machining techniques like electrical discharge machining are used. This paper presents review of research work carried out by researchers in EDM on composites. This paper also considers the attribute trends of EDM machining.
Keywords: Metal Matrix, Aerospace, Specific Strength, Light Weight.
