Abstract:Short carbon fibres were coated with alumina by sol-gel process. Uncoated and alumina-coated short carbon fibre-Al composites were fabricated by gas pressure infiltration process. The effects of alumina coating and extrusion deformation on microstructures and thermal properties of the composites were studied. The results show that alumina coating is effective to improve the quality of the short carbon fibre preform as well as act as diffusion barrier to impede interfacial harmful chemical reactions between alu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
