Abstract (en)
A method for producing composite materials by forming one material (29) in a die cavity (14) such that another material (38) can be forced into the same die cavity and infiltrate the spaces in the first material. A method for producing a composite comprising the steps of injecting reinforcement material in a binder or suspension into a die cavity (14); burning off or removing the binder or suspension such that the reinforcement material remains in the die cavity; injecting liquid metal into the same die cavity (14) such that it infiltrates the reinforcement material; solidifying the liquid metal; and removing the metal infiltrated composite material from the die cavity. An apparatus comprised of a die and a die cavity disposed inside the die. The apparatus is also comprised of a first port (16) extending from the die cavity to the surface of the die through which reinforcement material in a binder is injected into a die cavity. Additionally, the apparatus is comprised of a second port (20) extending from the die cavity to the surface of the die through which liquid metal is injected into the same die cavity. <IMAGE>
