La infiltración no asistida como una técnica de procesamiento de compósitos Al-Mg-Si/SiC

Abstract

This work intends to describe the technique of pressureless infiltration as a alternative route in the composite processing Al-Mg-Si/SiC. Also some parameters are discussed that should be controlled adequately, like the formation of undesirable products, wettability, processing atmosphere, alloys elements, etc. Likewise it intends to give a brief description about the metal matrix composites for, this way, to know the importance that has this class of materials in our society nowadays.
