ARC SPRAY FABRICATION OF METAL MATRIX COMPOSITE MONOTAPE

摘要

Arc Spray Fabrication of Metal Matrix Composite Monotape Arc metal spraying is used to spray liquid metal onto an array of high strength fibers that have been previously wound onto a large drum contained inside a controlled atmosphere chamber. This chamber is first evacuated to remove gaseous contaminants and then backfilled with a neutral gas up to atmospheric pressure. This process is used to produce a large size metal matrix composite monotape.
