Method of forming metal-matrix composites and composite materials

摘要

A method of forming a composite material by flame spraying. A composite thermal spray coating is formed by heating and accelerating a particulate material with a thermal spray gun and atomizing a molten metal to produce a combined, high-velocity stream containing both the heated particulate material and the atomized molten metal. The spray stream is directed to a substrate on which the composite coating is formed by a deposition of the materials.
