Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of measurement technology, in particular to a device and method for measuring the infiltration characteristics of a vacuum pressure infiltration method. Background technique [0002] At present, the preparation methods of metal matrix composites mainly include stirring method and infiltration method. The stirring method is generally suitable for independent reinforcements. Through stirring, the composition of the mixed metal liquid is as uniform as possible. Since the liquid metal changes from liquid to solid, it undergoes nucleation. , Crystallization, grain growth and other processes, the process has a large randomness, the microstructure is difficult to control, and defects such as shrinkage porosity, shrinkage cavity, segregation, and uneven grain size are unavoidable. The infiltration methods mainly include pressureless infiltration and pressure infiltration. The pressureless infiltration method is mainly suitab...
