Abstract

Silica present on the surface of ceramic fibres plays a critical role in the mechanical behaviour of composites due to fibre-matrix (F/M) interaction. This study has examined reaction kinetics and diffusion phenomena in the SiO2/Al(Mg,Cu) system between 400-800 °C. Magnesium strongly affects the rate of reaction. Apparent activation energies in the solid-liquid state were 8-74 kcal/mol depending on alloy composition. Analysis by TEM showed limited reaction between silica fibres and metal matrices for short liquid infiltration times. The F/M interface was found to be mechanically discontinuous.
