Introduction
More than 25 years have elapsed since Kelly and
Davies,! and Cratchley2 summarised their and other
pioneering efforts on metal matrix composite materials in this journal. The concept and advantages of
reinforcing a metal are now solidly established, but
it is only over the past few years that reinforced
metals have truly been considered serious contenders
in the arena of engineering materials. The relatively
late blooming of these materials has several causes.
One is certainly that significant advances toward the
production of affordable reinforcing materials have
been made over the past decade. Of at least equal
importance, however, is the stronger emphasis that
has more recently been placed on the processing of
these materials: it is now clear to the materials
community that if metal matrix composites (MMCs)
are to gain industrial viability, their processing must
be rendered economical and reliable, and must be
tailored to produce microstructures that will optimise
critical properties of the composite. The complexity
of metal matrix composite processing, and its critical
incidence on both cost and properties of the resulting
materials, has thus led to a recent surge of scientific
interest in its underlying principles.
A large and. increasing proportion
of MMCs is
presently produced by solidification processing, in
which the metal matrix is molten before it is combined

Interface chemistry
Chemical bonds On the basis of sessile drop experiments and experience in metal matrix composites
processing, it has become clear that in interfaces
separating a metal from another material, a stronger
chemical bond can be established, resulting from
chemical interaction across the interface. Such bonds
generate works of adhesion (by definition, the energy
liberated on their formation from two free surfaces)
that are temperature dependent, are typically an order
of magnitude higher than for physical bonds and
therefore govern interfacial strength. In practical
terms, their importance translates into the observation
noted above that one of the two methods of improving
wettability in metal matrix composites solidification
processing is to 'add something to the fibre or the
matrix that will promote reactions between the two'.
These are irreversible bonds in the sense that once
established, they cannot be broken without also damaging adjoining material on either side of the interface.
Evidence of the establishment of a chemical bond
after wetting of ceramics by metals has been found
in several studies of wettability by metals using the
sessile drop technique, 68,78,98,99,137,232,255-261
or in
studies of adhesion of metals to ceramics,262-266and
is reviewed by several authors. 52,70,83,98The bond is
no longer constrained to remain in a surface, but may
be several atomic layers thick, or may even extend
across an interfacial region visible under an optical
microscope. The connection between wetting and
adhesion becomes more tenuous because the interface
cannot in practice be undone once it has formed (e.g.
Ref. 267). A theoretical treatment of the interface is
also more difficult for this reason. For example,
thermodynamic equilibrium will in many cases not

Transport phenomena
This section is concerned with solidification processing steps in which the metal and the reinforcement
have been combined, and the metal matrix remains
at least partly liquid. These precede the final processing step in which solidification of the metal is
completed. As in wetting, a distinction is made
between cases where the reinforcement in the composite constitutes a mechanically self-sustaining preform,
and cases where it consists of individual particles,
short fibres, or whiskers dispersed within the metal
in the final composite. In the former case, the composite is directly cast by infiltration of the preform,
generally to its final general shape. In the latter case,
the composite is generally formed by stirring the
reinforcement into molten or semisolid metal to yield
a free-flowing composite slurry. This slurry is subsequently cast into shape using processes similar to
those for unreinforced metals. These two classes of
processes have been combined,61,285-288 but they
differ substantially in the transport phenomena by
which they are governed. These are reviewed in turn
in this section, beginning with infiltration processing.

The morphological stability of plane front alloy solidification is analysed theoretically by calculating the
rate of growth of infinitesimal .sinusoidal perturbations of the plane front. 396,397In unreinforced
alloys, the front is assumed to be essentially infinite
in extent, so if any perturbation wavelength shows a
positive rate of growth, the front is unstable. In a
narrow interstice delineated by closely spaced fibres
of a composite, the spectrum of possible perturbation
wavelengths has an upper limit equal to the width of
the interstice. Calculated critical perturbation wavelengths Ac below which an infinite plane front is stable,
and above which perturbations grow, were given in
Ref. 398 to show that with both AI-Cu alloys and
succinonitrile-I3 wt-O/oacetone, the wavelength for
marginal stability at the breakdown of a plane front
is of the order of 100 ~m, equal to or larger than the
interstices left between fibres customarily used for
reinforcing metals. One therefore expects, as was first
pointed out by Sekhar and Trivedi399 that fibres tend
to stabilise plane front solidification when their separation falls below Ac While Shangguan and Hunt400
found no effect of spatial constraint on plane-front
breakdown in succinonitrile-acetone, recent experiments on AI-Cu matrix composites at MIT are in
general agreement with this analysis.401
One instance in which a reinforcement may lower
the stability of a plane front was also pointed out by
Trivedi et al.,402 namely that where the interstice is
a narrow channel between two wide flat plates. In
this case, there is no upper limit to the possible
destabilising perturbation wavelengths, and because
of curvature in the solidification front perpendicular
to the reinforcement plane, the stability of a plane
front is reduced by the reinforcement. However, there
are very few instances in practice where this situation
will occur in MMCs.
More detailed analyses of plane-front growth take
into account the finite contact angle 8 between the
solid metal, the liquid metal, and the reinforcing
phase, Fig. 7, at the jllnction line between the fibre
matrix interface and the liquid/solid interface (ignoring roughness effects, 8 is the same angle as that used
to evaluate potency of the fibre for heterogeneous
nucleation of the matrix). Unless 8=90, a strictly
planar front can therefore not be obtained because
the liquid/solid interface bends near the reinforcement.
Ungar and Brown403 have studied this problem theoretically in two dimensions, i.e. for solidification
between two parallel plates, using finite element
methods. These authors considered contact angles (}
greater than 90, and found that at high and small
interstice widths, there is a continuous series of solutions for the solidification front morphology going
from shallow to deep cellular solidification fronts as
the temperature gradient decreases at fixed growth
velocity V past conditions for plane-front breakdown
in the unreinforced metal. At smaller 8, still greater
than 90, a pseudo-plane front is observed at high G,
which breaks down, with a sudden increase in the
height of stable cells, at decreasing G. This pseudoplane front to cellular transition takes place at higher
G than that for plane-front breakdown with (}= 90.

Critical velocity
Testing the critical velocity models
with respect to particle size and temperature gradient
in non-metallic
samples presents relatively little
difficulty, because the parameters can be independently varied in an experiment without affecting other
parameters. However,' other important variables such
as A(Jo, viscosity, thermal conductivities, or solute
content cannot be varied independently
of one
another. Tests of functional relationships between Vc
and these variables are therefore practically very
difficult. Published work424,426,431.446 shows that the
observed effect of parameters is as predicted, with
the exception of the effect of matrix solute content.
The experimental results of Bronstein et al.430 for
biological cells in various solutions confirmed that Vc
decreases with increasing solute concentration; however, data of Korber et al. for latex beads in pure
distilled water and distilled water containing 056
mol.-o/o NaMn04 showed no effect of solute content.
As stated, this may, for example, be a result of the
known effects that small amounts of solute can exert
on interfacial energies. 227,454
Recently, several investigators
have conducted
directional solidification experiments with a number
of metal matrix composite systems and attempted to
correlate the results with theory.12,434-439 These are
Conclusions
Current strategies for increasing wettability are generally based on sessile drop contact angle measurements
and the understanding that wettability is enhanced
by the establishment of a chemical bond across the
interface between the reinforcement and the matrix,
which lowers the apparent matrix/reinforcement
interfacial energy. Wetting is often, but not always,
improved by increasing chemical reactivity between
the metal and reinforcement surfaces, or by disruption
of any oxide skin covering the liquid metal matrix,
most noticeably aluminium. Although this approach
has proven fruitful in practice, it contains the unfortunate implication that detrimental reaction products
and/or degradation of reinforcement properties are
frequently traded off for improved reinforcement wettability. Recent improvements in the theory of surface
and interface chemistry and a growing realisation of
