Abstract
- The fabrication processes of metal matrix composites are very important for their application. There are many kinds of processes used, such as the squeeze casting process, the vacuum-high pressure infiltration process and the stirring casting process. In this article a new brief process for the fabrication of particle reinforced metal matrix composites will be introduced that has been used for silicon particulate reinforced Al-based composite and zinc-based composite. This process is the rheological compocasting process of a multicomponent system, in which a part of the raw materials mix with the rest where the latter are in the form of semi-solid moltens. The primary phases that are in the semi-solid molten material are left and are used as reinforcement phases. The tests show that the process is feasible, convenient and practical.
