| Abstract Scope |
Recent progress in research and development of self-healing metal matrix composites (MMCs) by (a) embedding micro-balloons /capsules /tubes encapsulating a low-melting alloy as a healing agent into the matrix of a higher melting alloy, and by (b) reinforcing metal matrices with long, short, or nanosized NiTi and other shape memory alloy fibers is reviewed. Self-healing mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of different self-healing concepts in MMCs are discussed. Future challenges, knowledge gaps, and future research directions, including the need for autonomous and multicycle healing capability in MMCs are outlined. |
