Abstract:The infiltration process is one of the techniques employed to work out polymer matrix composites (PMC) or metal matrix composites (MMC) and with continuous reinforcement. It consists in injecting the liquid (resin or metal) through a fibrous reinforcement placed in a mould. In the case of the MMC, the fibres and the mould are initially preheated at temperatures lower than the temperature of metal solidification. These thermal conditions induce phenomena of phase change of metal when the metal is in contact wit… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
