Manufacturing process of short carbon fiber reinforced Al matrix with preformless and their properties

Abstract The conventional manufacturing process of fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites via liquid infiltration processes, preform manufacturing using inorganic binders is essential. However, the procedure involves binder sintering, which requires high energy and long operating times. A new fabr...
