Abstract
Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) are most vital invention in the field of material processing due to their flexibility in the mechanical properties such as tensile, impact and hardness by modifying the reinforcement weight fraction to the matrix and the desirable property can be obtained by just changing the reinforcement material where as the property is extinct to the matrix metal. Solution hardening is widely used hardening process for non ferrous alloys and sometimes to ferrous alloys to improve the hardness and it is very effective in improving the hardness of the aluminum based alloys and it is widely accepted as one the hardness improvement process.
