Abstract
A vibratory treatment is proposed with a view to obtaining the controlled unidirectional orientation of short reinforcing ceramic fibers in Metal Matrix Composites manufactured with Powder Metallurgy methods. The treatment is applied to the metal-powder and fibers mixture before compaction and sintering, which results in the unidirectional orientation of the fibers that may either be uniform in the whole machine part or differ considerably in different zones. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism has been proved over a wide range of experimental parameters, various vibratory systems and different powder fiber mixtures being used. The dynamic response of the mixtures as well as their dependence on frequency, acceleration, wave form, amplitude, and energy are discussed.
