Interface Characteristics and the Mechanical Properties of Metal Matrix Composites.
Abstract
The research reported here is concerned with the relationships between interface characteristics and mechanical properties of metal matrix composites. Because composite interfaces are, in general, complex non-equilibrium structures, this research has emphasized the use of simplified, model specimens and direct characterization techniques to extract a range of information from the interfaces themselves. Keywords: Auger electron spectroscopy, Interface characteristics, Interface fracture, Scanning auger microscopy, Metal matrix composites, Aluminum graphite composites, Residual stresses, X ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Graphite oxidation, Aluminum oxide catalysts.
