Ceramic reinforced metal-matrix composites.

摘要

A method of producing a ceramic reinforced metal-matrix composite comprises the steps of dispersing a ceramic phase (of titanium diboride) in a liquid aluminium or aluminium alloy, mixing the ceramic phase with a cryolite or other fluoride flux powder and melting the mixture together with the aluminium or aluminium alloy phase at a temperature of between 700 and 1000 DEG C.
