Preliminary Characterization of Ion-Plated Aluminum/Graphite Composites.

Abstract

Ion-plated aluminum/graphite (Al/Gr) composite material has been characterized in terms of microstructure, tensile properties, and fractography. Longitudinal and transverse tensile strengths were found to be superior to those of Al/Gr composites fabricated by liquid metal infiltration. More importantly, the Al/Gr precursor tape was thin and flexible enough to allow cross-plying and selective reinforcement in complex shapes. (Author)
