Abstract:Short modified carbon fibres (Cf) were applied to reinforce a 2024 aluminium alloy to investigate the effect of Cf content on the mechanical properties of an aluminium matrix composite. As Cf volume fraction increased, the composite had more pores and defects while Cf were distributed uniformly throughout and combined well with the matrix. Hot extrusion reduced pore and defect frequency, and made Cf aligned in the extruded direction. These factors, such as Cf volume fraction, distribution, interface combinatio… Show more
