(54) | Manufacturing process of composite plates made of magnesium alloys and ceramic foam and composite plates |
(57) Process bases on the infiltration of metal melt (matrix) in the pores of ceramic
foam (hardening phase). Method of casting, sizing of mould, preheating of ceramic
foam or mould, pouring temperature, use of insulating cover and vibrating enable complete
filing the pores with metal. For manufacturing of composite plates the gravity casting
and vibrating of total system during casting and solidification is used. Such composite
plates are used in automotive, aircraft and military industry because composite plates
have good mechanical properties, high break-through strength at low density and resistance
to cutting.
