Abstract
A new continuous processing method is presented for the production of conti nuous-fiber-reinforced metal matrix composite (MMC) wires. The process curr ently yields MMC wires with the diameter of 0.5-1.6 nim at a maximum speed of similar to0.3 m/s for (fiber)-(metal) combinations of (Al2O3, Si-Ti Carb ide, SiC, Carbon) -(Aluminum, 2024A1, 6061A1) with a fiber volume fraction of similar to0.50-0.65. The process operation, mechanical/materials charact eristics of the MMC wires as well as their relationships are described as a n overview of the new materials processing technology.
