  • Process for reinforcing aluminum alloy
    Patent number: 4053011
    Abstract: A composite reinforced with polycrystalline alumina fibers in a matrix of an aluminum alloy containing 0.5-5.5% by weight of the matrix of lithium is prepared by infiltrating alumina fibers with a molten alloy containing aluminum and 1-8% by weight of lithium for a time sufficient to form a reaction sheath on the fibers of a thickness less than about 15% of the total fiber diameter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 1976
    Date of Patent: October 11, 1977
    Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company
    Inventors: Paul Gordon Riewald, William Henry Krueger, Ashok Kumar Dhingra
