  • INTERFACE-CONTROLLED IN-SITU SYNTHESIS OF NANOSTRUCTURES IN MOLTEN METALS FOR MASS MANUFACTURING
    Publication number: 20220178004
    Abstract: Provided herein are manufacturing methods of a metal matrix nanocomposite, comprising: providing a molten metal including a first reactant; providing a molten salt, including a second set of reactants and a diluting salt, over a surface of the molten metal; and maintaining the molten salt and the molten metal at a temperature sufficient to react the first reactant and the second set of reactants, such that nanostructures with controlled small sizes are formed adjacent to an interface between the molten salt and the molten metal, and are incorporated into the molten metal for mass manufacturing of metal matrix nanocomposite.
