Abstract

Brominated, anodically oxidized, and pristine p-100 carbon fiber reinforced tin-lead alloy composites were fabricated by squeeze casting. The fibers were brominated by bromine vapor for 48 h and then desorbed at 200 °C in air for 12 h. The anodic oxidation treatment of fibers involved electrochemical etching in a dilute sodium hydroxide electrolyte for 3 min, or immersing in nitric acid for 72 h. The composites containing surface-treated carbon fibers had higher tensile and interlaminar shear strength than the ones containing pristine carbon fibers. The composite containing brominated carbon fibers had better tensile strength than the other two surface treatments.
