Abstract
The effects of heat treatments on the mechanical and fracture properties of continuous fiber Pitch 100 graphite/6061 aluminum (P100 Gr/6061 Al) composite were evaluated by varying solution temperature and aging time. All heat treatments resulted in decreased mechanical properties due to the reaction at the fiber/matrix interface during solution treatments. SEM analysis of the fractured samples showed a large degree of fiber pullout, interface failure, and matrix cracking.
