Abstract

In order to increase the wettability between carbon fiber and aluminum matrix, pure nickel was applied as coating on carbon fiber. And scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the microstructure of the coating, fiber and matrix. The tensile tests of carbon fiber and aluminum matrix were done to examine how the behavior of nickel layers with variation of applied pressure make an effect on the mechanical properties of composites. As the applied pressure increases, nickel layers were resolved into the aluminum matrix and ultimate tensile strength of the composite decreased. This was due to premature fracture of the reaction layer acting as a surface notch.
