Method of forming a metal matrix component

1. A method of forming a metal matrix component comprising:

shredding metal material to a predetermined size range;

filling only the shredded metal material into a compacting die;

adding an adhesive to the shredded metal material;

compressing the shredded metal material in the compacting die to form a metal matrix component; and

curing the adhesive.

2. The method as in claim 1 further comprising:

forming the shredded metal material using a by-product of cutting a sheet metal part.

3. The method as in claim 1 further comprising:

forming the shredded metal material using a by-product of fabrication of a metal part.

4. The method as in claim 1 further comprising:

using a particle size range of the shredded metal material of approximately +0 mm to approximately 6 mm in diameter.

5. The method as in claim 1 further comprising:

coating a surface of the metal matrix component with a second adhesive;

bonding the metal matrix component to a pulley with the second adhesive;

bonding the pulley to an elastomeric damping member; and

bonding the elastomeric damping member to a hub, the elastomeric damping member disposed between the pulley and the hub.

6. The method as in claim 1 further comprising:

coating a surface of the metal matrix component with a second adhesive; and

bonding the metal matrix component to a pulley with the second adhesive.
