Abstract

Yasser Rihan analyzes the heat transfer during the consolidation of metal matrix composites. They possess high strength-to-weight ratios and can withstand high temperatures, which makes them ideal for aerospace and other elevated temperature applications such as automotive engine parts, tools and dies. A mathematical model was developed to predict the heat transfer inside the preform of a metal matrix composite by changing the temperature at the surface. The effect of the material, pressure and the contact heat transfer coefficient on heat transfer was studied. This analysis provides a tool for predictions of preheat times for composite consolidation by the hot isostatic pressing process.
