The Interface Structure in Graphite/Aluminum Composites,

Abstract

Transmission electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy studies of the interfaces of selected graphite/aluminum composite systems revealed that generally titanium diboride, (TiB2), and aluminum oxide, (Gammer Al2O3), were present as the interfacial phases. The grain size and the crystallographic structure of these interfacial phases were studied and are discussed in terms of the transverse fracture behavior of the graphite/aluminum composites.
