Abstract
The adhesion strength of epoxy-binder—steel-fiber joints and the change of binder mechanical properties under multiple cyclic curing have been studied. It has been shown that the adhesion strength monotonically decreases with an increase in the number of cycles when the curing temperature is much higher than the binder vitrification point. In this case, the mechanical properties of the matrix are also decreased. Some possible mechanisms of the observed changes are also discussed.
