Publisher's Synopsis
This volume is derived from a collection of papers from Materials Week '93, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 17 to 21, 1993. It focuses on in-situ processing methods for composite systems that include matrix formation via powder procession, matrix-fiber strengthening by interface-phase formation and reinforcement formation based on non-reinforcement precursors.;Focusing on aspects and resulting mechanical properties, this book discusses techniques such as tailored interface processing, lanxide, dimox, primex and XD processing. Also covered are approaches such as free-form fabrication and containerless composite processing where in-situ-produced constituents result.
