In their most common form, metal matrix composites are combinations of a metal with a ceramic (“cermets” was a term used about 40 years ago to designate metal/ceramic composites of high ceramic content). Other combinations nonetheless exist. Metallic reinforcements are used in several materials that are metal matrix composites by the present definition: tungsten reinforced copper, tungsten heavy alloys, and copper-niobium superconductors are examples. Metal foams can also be viewed as metal matrix composites according to this definition (the second phase is a gas).
