Abstract
The following paper deals with the manufacturing of composite
and hybrid materials by using semi-solid forming technologies.
On the one hand, there is presented a process for producing
Interpenetrating Phase Composites (IPC) consisting of ceramic
open-cell structures which are infiltrated by a semi-solid
aluminium alloy. On the other hand, a new process for
manufacturing hybrid metallic materials is described. Thereby,
semi-finished materials made of two different aluminium alloys
are simultaneously heated using an induction system and
subsequently formed in the semi-solid state. The paper shows
numerical investigations as well as experimental results for
both processes.
