Therefore this material has recently been used in several applications in aerospace and automotive industries. Problem associated with MMCs is that they are very difficult to machine due to the hardness and abrasive nature of Carbide particles. The Main objective of this paper is to study the effects of different cutting parameters (Cutting Speed, feed rate, Depth of cut) on Surface roughness and tool Wear in turning of MMCs. The review begins with a brief introduction on MMCs. Research in Machining of MMCs is grouped broadly. The problems and challenges in machining of metal matrix composites are discussed with relation to different cutting parameter on Surface roughness, and tool Wear. A summary of the future research directions based on the review is presented at the final section. Keywords: Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), PCD tool, Surface roughness, tool wear 1. INTRODUCTION Metal matrix composites consist of at least two chemically and physically distinct phases, suitably distributed to provide properties not obtainable with either of the individual phases. fibrous or particulate phase in the form of continuous, discontinuous fiber, whiskers, Particles, distributed in a metallic matrix which include light metal such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, copper, and their alloy[1,2]. In general, Metal matrix composites are classified into two ways. 1 Discontinuously reinforced MMCs 2 Continuous fiber or sheet reinforced MMCs 1.
