High-Energy Method of Transformation of Casting Metals and Alloys to the Composite Materials

Abstract

Work related to the development of metal composite materials using effect of super-deep penetration (SDP) of powder particles. Composite materials are obtained from usual casting billets. During SDP process powder particles work as needles and the fibers are formed in metal matrix under dynamic interaction between powder particles and matrix material. Researchers showed high non-uniformity of the chemical composition of the processed material. Material was doped with a high amount of alloying elements at SDP. It may explain specific mechanical and chemical properties of the structure of this new composite material.
