These controlling factors are affected by fabrication process including operation time and temperature and the kind of matrix or reinforcement. In this paper, for developing cost-effective particulate reinforced inorganic matrix composites, some fabrication processes were proposed. From this point of view, the incorporation process and the wettability for ceramic / aluminum systems were evaluated by the time required for the incorporation of the ceramic particles into the molten aluminum during melt stirring. The effects of alloying element on the incorporation time and properties of composite were also measured. As a new fabrication process, stable carbide particles such as TiC were in situ synthesized in the liquid aluminum by reaction between the Al-Ti alloy and SiC or Al4C3 particles. Reactive infiltration of solid powder blends with molten aluminum or magnesium has been investigated as a potential route for the synthesis of a particulate reinforced metal matrix composite as well as an Al2O3 matrix composite., This work was partly supported by a Ministry of Education (Ja-pan) Grant-in-Aid for scientific research (B).}, pages = {52--93}, title = {PROCESS ANALYSES FOR DEVELOPING COST-EFFECTIVE PARTICULATE REINFORCED INORGANIC COMPOSITES}, volume = {51}, year = {1999} }
