Presidential Young Investigator Award: Metal Matrix Composites by Spray Atomization and Deposition

有机基复合材料的制造技术 已明确界定，MMC处理方面的进展 受到高化学反应性和差润湿性的阻碍 在增强物和基质之间。 的对象 研究计划是开发一种替代解决方案 针对与现有技术相关的这些缺点， 用于制造金属基复合材料，包括其高 成本 为实现这一目标，将完成一系列 在涉及使用喷雾雾化的详细研究中， 注射和沉积各种类型的金属基质 复合材料. 该研究将包括实验性的 以及计算方法。

While fabricating techniques for organic matrix composites are well defined, progress in processing of MMC has been hindered by high chemical reactivity and poor wettability between the reinforcements and the matrix. The object of the research program is to develop an alternative solution to these drawbacks associated with existing technologies for fabricating metal matrix composites, including their high costs. This objective will be achieved by completing a series of detailed studies involving the use os spray atomization, injection,and deposition of various types of metal matrix composites. The proposed research will encompass experimental as well as computational approaches.
