Abstract
A method of producing a metal matrix composite by extruding a billet including both a metallic material and a non-metallic material through a die to form a metal matrix composite extrudate, where the non-metallic material is distributed evenly along a longitudinal length of the billet, where, during extrusion, a temperature of the billet does not exceed a melting temperature of the metallic material; and where the metal matrix composite extrudate has an extrusion ratio of at least 20:1.
Claims24
A method of producing a metal matrix composite, the method comprising:
- extruding a billet comprising a metallic material and a non-metallic material through a die thereby forming a metal matrix composite extrudate;
- wherein the non-metallic material is distributed evenly along a longitudinal length of the billet;
- wherein, during extrusion, a temperature of the billet does not exceed a melting temperature of the metallic material;
- and
- wherein the metal matrix composite extrudate has an extrusion ratio of at least 20:1.
