Infiltration distance was measured and microstructure and fracture behavior of composite was investigated. It has been found that infiltration distance and fracture strength were decreased with increasing volume fraction of reinforcement. Increasing matrix temperature also facilitates infiltration.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessComposites; infiltration; MgO; AluminiumArticle12317317710.2339/2009.12.3.173-177WOS:000447798200006N/A
