Decreasing the infiltration threshold pressure of Al–12wt% Si into alumina particle compacts by Sn or Pb layers

Infiltration characteristics of liquid AZ91D alloy into short carbon fiber preform

“…A minimum pressure is required for initiating infiltration when the metal does not wet the preform [29]. Studies on infiltration of particle preform have shown that the threshold pressure can be accurately predicted by use of the capillary law [30].…”

The scientific impact of Francisco Rodríguez-Reinoso in carbon research and beyond

“…First, all the variables related to the infiltration process (threshold pressure, permeability, drainage curves, contact angle), were studied [80e82], which allowed the development of a product with excellent properties that met the requirements of the end consumer [83,84]. New technologies were also developed such as infiltration with two liquid metals simultaneously [85], and improved wetting through the use of fluorinated salts [Morgan Award, Carbon congress Aberden 2006], which allowed for a better knowledge and optimization of the process of infiltration [86].…”
