MoSi_2 and 30 vol.% SiC_p/MoSi_2 composite have been fabricated by hot pressing (HP).A simulated thermal cycle experiment has been carried out at 1100℃ for 32 h to investigate the stability of the composite system.Comparative,mechanical tests,including measurement of flexural strength and fracture toughness at room temperature,have been conducted between materials before and after thermal cycle.It is shown that both the strength and fracture toughness are enhanced by the addition of SiC particles. After thermal cycle,the strength of both materials increases and the toughness decreases by about 20%.The result that the composite system is not corroded intensely by thermal cycle shows that SiC particles are feasible reinforcement for MoSi2.

Composites Part a-Applied Science and Manufacturing
Coating on reinforcements affects the interface bonding of a composite, and is therefore usually used for improving the composite's properties. The behaviour of SiC coating on carbon fibre in reinforced aluminium metal castings, Fe on carbon fibre-reinforced copper and alumina coating on K2O . 6TiO(2) whisker-reinforced aluminium composites were investigated, respectively, by modern techniques such as TEM, SEM etc. with the goal of controlling the interfacial interaction and wettability of reinforcement with the matrices. SiC coating produced by a polycarbosilane solution process effectively improved the strength because it successfully controlled oxidation of the carbon fibres themselves and the harmful reaction between the carbon fibres and molten aluminium during the fabrication process and heating process of the composites. The metal coating, Fe, made by electrical plating, strengthened the bonding of carbon fibres with copper by changing the bonding state of the interface from a mechanical one to a partly chemical one. Therefore the strengths of the resulting composites were improved. The alumina coating on K2O . 6TiO(2) also controlled the diffusion of the K element from the whiskers into the aluminium matrix and altered the reaction with aluminium, and led to the optimization of interfacial bonding between the whiskers and a superior composite.

This paper deals with a series of novel processing techniques based on the in situ production of metal matrix composites (MMCs). In situ techniques involve a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of a very fine and thermodynamically stable reinforcing ceramic phase within a metal matrix. As a result, this provides thermodynamic compatibility at the matrix-reinforcement interface. The reinforcement surfaces are also likely to be free of contamination and, therefore, a stronger matrix-dispersion bond can be achieved. Some of these technologies including DIMOX(TM), XD, PRIMEX(TM), reactive gas infiltration, high-temperature self-propagating synthesis (SHS), and liquid-solid, or solid-gas-liquid reactions as well as plasma in situ MMCs are expressed in this paper.

The surface state of the reinforcements for composites plays an important role in the fabrication process and in determining the properties of metal-matrix composites. This article explores the effect of a reinforcement coating on the fabrication process and the properties of metal-matrix composites. For a carbon-fiber-reinforced aluminum composite system, it is difficult to obtain a uniform distribution of the carbon fibers in the aluminum matrix and to control the fabrication process parameters because of poor wettability. For example, the fabrication pressure must be set properly, otherwise a higher pressure will cause fiber fracture, whilst a lower pressure will cause holes in the matrix. When coating the fibers with SiC by a polycarbosilane solution process, the wettability between the fibers and the aluminum is improved. Consequently, the fabrication process can be controlled easily and the properties of the composites improved substantially. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.

The state-of-art and key problems of carbon nanotube (CNT) based polymer composites (CNT/polymer composites) including CNT/polymer structural composites and CNT/polymer functional composites are reviewed. Based on the results reported up to now, CNTs can be an effective reinforcement for polymer matrices, and the tensile strength and elastic modulus of CNT/polymer composites can reach as high as 3600 MPa and 80 GPa, respectively. CNT/polymer composites are also promising functional composite materials with improved electrical and thermal conductivity, etc. Due to their multi-functional properties, CNT/polymer composites are expected to be used as low weight structural materials, optical devices, thermal interface materials, electric components, electromagnetic absorption materials, etc. However, the full potential of CNT/polymer composites still remains to be realized. A few key problems, such as how to prepare structure-controllable CNTs with high purity and consistently dependable high performance, how to break up entangled or bundled CNTs and then uniformly disperse and align them within a polymer matrix, how to improve the load transfer from matrix to CNT reinforcement, etc, still exist and need to be solved in order to realize the wide applications of these advanced composites.

Titanium metal matrix composites (TiMMCs) reinforced by continuous silicon carbide fibres are being developed for aerospace applications. TiMMCs manufactured by the consolidation of matrix-coated fibre (MCF) method offer optimum properties because of the resulting uniform fibre distribution, minimum fibre damage and fibre volume fraction control. In this paper, the consolidation of Ti-6Al-4V matrix-coated SiC fibres during vacuum hot pressing has been investigated. Experiments were carried out on multi-ply MCFs under vacuum hot pressing (VHP). In contrast to most of existing studies, the fibre arrangement has been carefully controlled either in square or hexagonal arrays throughout the consolidated sample. This has enabled the dynamic consolidation behaviour of MCFs to be demonstrated by eliminating the fibre re-arrangement during the VHP process. The microstructural evolution of the matrix coating was reported and the deformation mechanisms involved were discussed.
