A method of forming a metal matrix composite 10. The method comprises the steps of surrounding at least one insert 14 with reinforcement material 16. Next, there is the step of orienting the insert 14 and reinforcement material 16 within a mold 24. Then, there is the step of infiltrating the mold 24 with liquid metal 20 such that the reinforcement material 16 around the insert 14 is infiltrated. A package 32 comprising a metal matrix composite 10 formed of reinforcement material 16 infiltrated with metal 20. The package 32 also comprises an insert 14 supported in the reinforcement material 16 by the metal 20. An electronic package comprising a first wall 33 and a second wall 35 integrally connected and extending in a continuous manner from the first wall 33. The first wall 33 and second wall 35 are a metal matrix composite 10 formed of reinforcement material 16 infiltrated with metal 20. The metal 20 extends continuously from the first wall 33 to the second wall 35. Additionally, there is an insert 14 disposed in the reinforcement material 16 and supported by the metal 20. A cooling panel 42 comprised of a first layer 44 of metal sheet. The cooling panel 42 is also comprised of a layer of metal matrix composite 10 formed of woven reinforcement fibers 46 infiltrated with metal 20 in contact with the first layer 44. Additionally, the cooling panel 42 is comprised of a second layer 44 of metal sheet in contact with the composite layer 10. The composite layer 10 is disposed between the first layer 44 and the second layer 44. <IMAGE> |
