Gel Casting and Properties of SiCp/Al Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, high volume fraction SiCp/Al composite was fabricated by pressureless technique with silicon carbide porous preform which fabricated through gel casting process. The effects of solid loading on the rheological properties of SiC slurry were discussed. High solid loading SiC slurry of 65vol% with low viscosity and high stability was fabricated. Also microstructure, flexural strength of the SiC preform and SiCp/Al composite were studied, the results showed gel casting process and pressureless infiltration technique were suitable for fabricating high volume fraction, homogeneous structure and high performance SiCp/Al composite.
