    摘要: The present invention relates to a novel process for forming internal shapes in metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, an infiltration enhancer and/or an infiltration enhancer precursor and/or an infiltrating atmosphere are in communication with a filler material or a preform, at least at some point during the process, which permits molten matrix metal to spontaneously infiltrate the filler material or preform. Additionally, the filler material or preform may contain a mandrel which is capable of surviving the infiltration process, said mandrel being removed after infiltration has occurred. Such spontaneous infiltration occurs without the requirement for the application of any pressure or vacuum.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a novel method for forming metal matrix composite bodies. Particularly, a permeable mass of filler material is formed into a preform. The preform material can then be placed onto the surface of or into a matrix metal alloy, whereupon the matrix metal alloy spontaneously infiltrates the preform. After substantial complete infiltration of the preform, the preform begins to at least partially sink into the matrix metal alloy supply. The depth to which the preform may sink into the molten matrix metal alloy is controlled by utilizing a support means. The support means prevents the preform being infiltrated from submerging completely beneath the surface of the matrix metal alloy supply. The matrix metal which has infiltrated the preform is then allowed to cool, thus forming a metal matrix composite body.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a novel process for making a macrocomposite body. Specifically, a metal matrix composite body is first formed and thereafter, a ceramic body or a ceramic matrix composite body is caused to form from at least one surface of the already formed metal matrix composite body. The ceramic or ceramic composite body can be formed by, for example, changing from spontaneous infiltration conditions which permit a molten matrix metal to infiltrate a filler material or preform to conditions which favor the growth of a ceramic oxidation reaction product from the matrix metal (e.g., the matrix metal serves the dual role of a matrix metal and a parent metal for growth of oxidation reaction product). The growth of oxidation reaction product can occur from one or more surfaces of a metal matrix composite body and can be controlled to result in any desired shape. Moreover, the oxidation reaction product can be caused to grow directly into an atmosphere to form a ceramic body or can be caused to grow into an adjacently located filler material to form a ceramic matrix composite body. The oxidation reaction product can be formed substantially immediately after the metal matrix composite body is formed or may be formed at any point later in time.
