Abstract

The SiC3D/Al composite with high SiC content were prepared by vacuum-pressure infiltration process, and the prediction model of infiltration pressure threshold involving capillary pressure and viscous resistance was established. The effects of model parameters on the critical infiltration pressure were analyzed. The results show that the main factors are the specific permeability of SiC performs and the temperature of molten aluminum alloy. Temperature affects the melt viscosity and the wetting angle between SiC and molten alloy. The infiltration pressure threshold of the specific infiltration system had been calculated by this model, which is in agreement with experimental results.
