A significant amount of research has been done in the past few years in the development of suitable composite materials in general and on boron fiber-aluminum matrix composites in particular. The mechanical properties of the composite depend on the structures and strengths of the matrix and fibers; on the amount, distribution, and surface characteristics of the fibers; and on the quality of the bond at the fiber-matrix interface. The results presented here illustrate the application of the SEM in studying the structure of the fiber-matrix interface and the fracture features of boron and aluminum.

Effects of thermal cycling on mechanical properties such as longitudinal tensile strength, interlaminar shear strength and work of fracture of carbon fiber/aluminum composites have been investigated. The composite specimens fabricated by a squeeze casting technique were thermally cycled in fluidized baths between room temperature and various temperatures (250, 300, and 350° C) for up to 1000 cycles. The cross sections and fracture surfaces were examined to clarify the degradation mechanism. Significant degradation of the mechanical properties by thermal cycling was observed in untreated carbon fiber/aluminum composites whereas much less degradation in surface treated carbon fiber/aluminum composites. Microscopic observations and short beam shear tests have indicated that the degradation of mechanical properties is caused by debonding at the fiber/matrix interface. The fiber/matrix interface for surface treated fiber was more resistant to debonding. It is concluded that thermal cycling damage of carbon fiber/aluminum composites can be minimized by increasing their fiber/matrix bond strengths.
