Abstract: Machining of engineering materials becomes inevitable nowadays as the making of products having near net shape and size to meet its requirement is more important. The modern industrial need emerges the thrust for new materials which could satisfy the different performance characteristics. Among all, Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) plays a foremost role in the engineering application for the replacement of various materials. Most importantly Al alloy based MMCs are widely used materials as it has more strength to weight ratio with attractive characteristics. However, machining of such a material to form required shape is not efficient through conventional machining processes. This article presents the detailed report on non conventional machining of Al alloy based MMCs.
