A study was made of the effect of the interface in aluminum (6061)/boron and aluminum (6061)/silicon carbide coated boron (Borsic) on selected mechanical properties. The object of the study was to determine the relationship of the interface condition to mechanical properties and to control interface effects so that composite properties can be optimized.

Effect of Interfaces in Metal Matrix Composites on Mechanical Properties

Interfaces in Metal Matrix Composites, Volume 1 presents the position of the science of interfaces, as well as the necessary background for the effort in progress to apply these materials. The book discusses the mechanical and physical aspects of the interface; the effect of the interface on longitudinal tensile properties; and the effect of the filament-matrix interface on off-axis tensile strength. The text also describes the role of the interface on elastic-plastic composite behavior; the effect of interface on fracture; and the interfaces in oxide reinforced metals and in directionally solidified eutectics. The effect of impurity on reinforcement-matrix compatibility is also considered. Metallurgical engineers and people involved in the study of materials science will find the book invaluable.
