The Metallographic Sample Preparation of Fiber-Reinforced Composites

  • Chapter
Book cover Metallographic Specimen Preparation

Abstract

Researchers in the field of fiber-reinforced composites have applied a variety of methods to evaluate not only the strength of the composite but also the interaction of the fibers and matrix at the fiber-matrix interface (1,2). The bond strength which is rela­ted to the wetting of the fiber by the matrix material is of great interest in studying the load transfer characteristics of composites (1-3). Furthermore, studies to evaluate thermochemical and mechan­ical degradation of fiber-reinforced composites in service resulting from physical and thermal treatments have been conducted. These studies depend heavily on metallography.
