This work is purely an innovative in nature; in pursuance of newer materials and characterization. The whole work is comprised of fabrication and characterization of these newer materials. Looking at the limitations associated with the metal matrix composites, Composite Metallic Materials are visualized and fabricated.The book focuses on importance of metal-metal composites, replacement of ceramic reinforcements with conventional metal reinforcements. Analysis has been with respect to their characterization, response to ageing, mechanical behaviour, wear and corrosion behaviour. This work is presented in seven chapters. I would like to express my gratitude to my research directors Prof.M.M.M.Sarcar (Rtd), Mechanical Engg, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, A.P, India and Prof.N.Bhargava Rama Mohan Rao Engg, Metallurgical Engg, Andhra University, Visakhapatnam, A.P, India for their guidance and support. There is no end for research. Hope this beginning will give fruitful innovations in the coming years...
