Abstract

Chemical reaction can occur at the fiber/matrix interface of intermetallic matrix composites, leading to a degradation of mechanical properties. Fe–40Al matrix composites were fabricated using SiC, B, W, Mo-base, and Al2O3 fibers. Composite samples were heat treated up to 1500 K to study the reaction kinetics, and reaction rates were determined from reaction zone thickness measurements. The Al2O3 and W fibers were found to be compatible with the Fe–40Al matrix, while the Mo-based fibers reacted moderately and the B and SiC fibers reacted severely. Experimental results are compared to theoretical thermodynamic predictions.
