Centrifugal Casting of Composites. (1998)

Abstract
This patent discloses tubes or other symmetrical shapes are formed of composite materials, such as silicon carbide and aluminum, by spin casting. The reinforcing material can be precast into a billet or bar of the matrix metal, remelted and introduced into a spinning mold. Tubes can be produced with walls having differing amounts of reinforcing materials in the tube wall. Castings can be obtained having a uniform distribution of a reinforcement in a matrix metal.. Supersedes PAT-APPL-436 847-89.
