Research Abstract |
In this project, a new fabrication technique for the MMC preform having 3-D structure consisting of short fiber aggregates by compressing the mixture of long fibers and metal particles was developed. Many short fibers were observed in the mixture of fiber aggregates and Al particles after compressing the mixture. When the amount of Al particles or compressive deformation of the mixture was changed, the distribution of fiber length was also changed. Thus, the experimental conditions to obtain the desired fiber length were indicated. In addition, the FRMMCs which employed the preform above mentioned showed the mechanical properties expected from the 3-D structure of the applied preform.
