Abstract
A composite is produced by placing a reinforcement between foils of a superplastic metal alloy to provide stack. The stack is then heated to a temperature at which the metal alloy exhibits its superplastic properties, and pressure is applied to the heated stack. This causes the foils to flow around the reinforcement and diffusion bond together in the solid state. A structural composite is thus formed comprising a reinforcement dispersed throughout a matrix of superplastic metal alloy.
