ABSTRACT:
A method for producing composite materials by forming one material in a die cavity such that another material can be forced into the same die cavity and infiltrate the spaces in the first material. A method for producing a composite comprising the steps of injecting reinforcement material in a binder or suspension into a die cavity; burning off or removing the binder or suspension such that the reinforcement material remains in the die cavity; injecting liquid metal into the same die cavity such that it infiltrates the reinforcement material; solidifying the liquid metal; and removing the metal infiltrated composite material from the die cavity. An apparatus comprised of a die and a die cavity disposed inside the die. The apparatus is also comprised of a first port extending from the die cavity to the surface of the die through which reinforcement material in a binder is injected into a die cavity. Additionally, the apparatus is comprised of a second port extending from the die cavity to the surface of the die through which liquid metal is injected into the same cavity.
