Study on graphite fiber and Ti particle reinforced Al composite

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Graphite fiber and Ti particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite were produced by squeeze casting technology. A small amount of needle aluminum carbide at graphite fiber and Al interface was observed, and TiAl3 intermetallic compound at Ti particle and Al interface was detected. Tensile strength and bending strength of the composite have been measured. The fracture surface of the composite after tensile and bending tests was observed; graphite fiber-reinforced Al was brittle fracture, whereas Ti particle-reinforced Al was ductile fracture. The corresponding fracture mechanism was discussed.
