However, in the powder metallurgy method, when mixing metal powder and reinforcing material, it is difficult for the metal powder to penetrate between the reinforcing materials.
The disadvantage is that the two do not mix and disperse uniformly, resulting in lumps of undisentangled reinforcing material occurring in some places, which are embedded in the composite material as they are, and as a result, the physical properties of the reinforcing material tend to become non-uniform. Furthermore, if a fine reinforcing material is used to improve the dispersibility of the reinforcing material, a correspondingly fine metal powder must be used, which becomes a factor in increasing costs.
