1989年2月美国出版的〔先进的材料与工艺〕杂志报道,目前,美国金属基复合材料(MMCs)市场的规模一年为2000万美元,几乎全是由研究单位提供的.虽然到2000年之前铝基复合材料在金属基复合材料市场上继续占统治地位,但是铜和镁基复合材料的增长速度将领先,每年将增长20%以上. The Advanced Materials and Technology magazine, published in the United States in February 1989, reports that at present, the size of the MMCs market in the United States amounts to $ 20 million a year, almost exclusively provided by research units. Although by 2000 Previously, aluminum-based composites continue to dominate the market for metal-based composites, but copper and magnesium-based composites will lead the way and will grow by more than 20% annually.
