Abstract
A new type of tri-dimensionally continuous network reinforced metal-matrix composite was proposed and an effective manufacturing method was advanced. By employing the SHS reaction of AI-TiO2,-C system and vacuum high pressure infiltration technique, the making of this type of metal-matrix composite has been thoroughly studied. Emphasis was placed on the law of the formation of interconnected porous network structure in the SHS reaction products. By means of OM and SEM the obtained highly porous SHS reaction products and the resulting tridimensionally continuous network reinforced metal-matrix composite have been closely examined.
