ABSTRACT:
A method of producing a fiber tow reinforced metal matrix composite having effective alloy infiltration throughout the tow includes providing a conductive fiber tow comprised of a plurality of individual conductive ceramic fibers; providing an electrode; immersing the tow and the electrode in a slurry including particulates of a metal matrix composite material; applying an electric field between the conductive fiber tow and the electrode, wherein the individual fibers spread open thereby allowing uniform infiltration of the particulates onto the fibers; and consolidating the infiltrated tow.
