Abstract:

In order to understand the mechanical behavior of metal matrix-graphite composites, it is necessary that the fiber-matrix interface be well characterized. This is of particular importance for transverse loading of the composite. In this paper some of the more successful techniques that have been used to make some measurements concerning the nature of the interface are described. The tools discussed are scanning electron microscopy SEM, Auger electron spectroscopy AES, inert ion sputtering IIS, secondary ion mass spectroscopy SIMS, and ion microprobe mass analysis IMMA.
