Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: General Methods of PreparationA number of processes are used for the preparation of composite materials depending on the required properties and choice of material system.Some of these are mentioned here such as Al-SiC, Al-Al 2 O 3 , Mg-SiC, Mg-Al 2 O 3 of high specific strength , stiffness, temperature resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, wear resistance and thermal conductivity are prepared by fusion infiltration, extrusion, forging, gravity and die casting while PbC and Pb-Al 2 O 3 for high stiffness and creep resistance are prepared by fusion infiltration only [13].Cu-W for burn up resistance and Pb-C and Brass-Teflon for load carrying capacity and wear resistance are prepared by powder metallurgy and infiltration.Similarly Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) for Al-Al 2 O 3 , High Pressure Torsion (HPT) for Cu-Fe composite, Hot pressing for Cu-Al 2 O 3 composite, hot extrusion for Mg-Al 2 O 3 , Sintering for Cu-MgO, Microwave sintering for Co-WC, Plasma spraying for Al-CNT, High velocity oxyfuel spraying (HVOS) for Ni-Al 2 O 3 , Cold spraying for Co-WC.Some other techniques such as spark plasma sintering, sol-gel and electrodeposition are also available for the preparation of metal matrix nanocomposites.
