Abstract
A multilayer interface was formed in the Al matrix composite which was reinforced by 30% volume fraction of TiNi fiber. The composite was fabricated by pressure infiltration process and the interface between the TiNi fiber and Al matrix was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). When the TiNi fiber was pre-oxidized in the air at 773K for 1h, three layers have been found and characterized in the interface: TiNi-B2 layer near the TiNi fiber, Ti-Al compound layer with Ti and granular TiO2 near the Al matrix, and Ti-Ni compound layer between TiNi-B2 and Ti-Al compound layers. The effect of the multilayer interface on the mechanical properties of the composite was also discussed. The result showed that the uniaxial tensile strength of the composite at room temperature was 318MPa, which was very close to the theoretical calculation value of 326MPa. Moreover, the composite with good ductility exhibited a typical ductile-fracture pattern.
