Abstract

Carbon fibre-reinforced aluminium laminates was prepared by vacuum hot pressing diffusion with 1060 series aluminum as matrix and nickel plated carbon fiber as reinforcement in this paper. The effects of preparation parameters (heating temperature, holding time, pressure) and carbon fiber volume fraction on the microstructure, interfacial bonding, mechanical strength and fracture morphology of Carbon fibre-reinforced aluminium laminates were investigated. The results show that the interface between carbon fiber and aluminum matrix is well bonded, and the nickel coating and aluminum matrix react near the carbon fiber to form Al₃Ni, which effectively prevents the formation of brittle phase Al4C between aluminum matrix and carbon fiber. With the increase of carbon fiber volume fraction, the bending strength first increases and then decreases.

Key words: composites carbon fiber/aluminum laminated composites three point bending fabrication process interface microstructure
