Abstract

AlBOw whisker Al matrix composites were fabricated by the squeeze casting technique. First, according to the basic principle of fluid dynamics in porous media and the Laplace equation, the squeeze casting infiltration process of metal melt fluid in the porous whisker preform was analyzed. The paper indicated that metal melt fluids infiltrated the whisker preform in a disordered fluid status. And then, the effect of the whisker length on the void structure of the porous preform was analyzed in detail. ZL101 is used as the raw material of the matrix for AlBOw whisker reinforced Al composites.
