What? This isn't my 'Engine Tech' thread? Dammit...
Have they got to the point where they can economically machine MMC for a 2 piece rod? Article says they are mostly net-shaped forged, with a fancy high-speed boring operation, since the matrix is aluminum and silicon carbide. And silicon carbine is usually on the side
doing the machining operation rather than the receiving end.
Also what is the cost difference between normal 4340 and 4340M/300M?
