Abstract
A preform technology for making particulate metal-matrix composites with a low particulate volume fraction (as low as 18%) by liquid metal infiltratio n is provided. This technology used a non-combustible reinforcement (SiC) a s the primary particulate and combustible particles (carbon) as the seconda ry particulate in the preform. The secondary particulate was removed from t he preform by oxidation prior to liquid metal infiltration. (C) 1998 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
