CREEP-RESISTANT COMPOSITE ALLOYS REINFORCED BY METAL SHOT OR AGGREGATES

摘要

A composite material has been developed by mixing steel shots (1) or aggregates (2) with conventional alloys (3), thus preventing the cold flow or creep. The mixing is accomplished by adding a special flux of ammonium chloride to the molten bath of zinc-based, lead-based, tin-based, copper-based, or aluminum-based alloys. The strength increase of such composites will make the size miniaturization possible in automation technology or in machine parts.
