Motivated by the actual debate on the sustainable use of energy, materials scientists and engineers are seeking for possibilities to support efforts for lowering energy consump-tion. One possibility to do so is to develop materials that allow structural design with retained functionality and strength at a lower weight. Consequently, the speci fi c strength (i.e., strength of a material normalized to the mass density) becomes a key parameter for the materials ’ selection in mechanical design. Strengthening mechanisms such as cold working and solid solution, dispersion, and precipitation hardening are adaptable to many metals. However, they are limited in their scale and the density is typically not affected at all. Furthermore, the ductility is usually reduced to a value well below the minimal requirements of the application. Composite materials are believed to solve this discrepancy, i.e., while the mechanical properties of the individual components are insuf fi cient, the composite shows well-balanced properties.
