Abstract
A novel processing route for the fabrication of Al/high silicon MMCs is presented. The silicon size is much finer than can be achieved by casting, yet the materials can still be formed into a near-net shape. Initial properties of the MMCs are presented, and methods under investigation to optimise processing and improve properties are discussed.
