Title:

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FORMING METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2018009241

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for forming metal matrix composites for reducing or eliminating disadvantages and problems associated with forming metal matrix composites.SOLUTION: In certain embodiments, a method comprises placing nonconductive fibers adjacent to a conductive material, immersing the nonconductive fibers and the conductive material in a plating medium, and applying a voltage to the conductive material to initiate electroplating. The method further comprises engulfing, by electroplating, the nonconductive fibers in metal to create a metal matrix composite.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
