Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of papers from Materials Week '92, held in Chicago, USA, November 1992, identifies and defines the fundamental principles of soldification of metal matrix composites. Areas of discussion include nucleation, growth, heat flow, particle pushing, interface stability and segregation during solidification of metal matrix composites.;While cast composites have grown in industrial importance, their solidification is barely understood. This volume should be of interest to researchers and students working on cast MMCs.
