Abstract
Metal matrix composites are produced by essentially two routes: molten metal processing and powder metallurgy. The former route is the most severe from the point of view of interfacial reactions because of the kinetics in the liquid state, but some liquid phase is usually present during the consolidation stage of powder metallurgy. Free energy calculations can be made to establish the tendency for reaction to occur, but kinetic studies are usually necessary to establish the processing window. Extensive interface reaction can result in degradation of the reinforcement, which is particularly a problem in continuous fibre reinforced composites, and it can also result in a modification of the matrix metallurgy and properties.
In this paper, an overview is given of the interfacial phenomena occurring in metal matrix composites, considering primarily SiC and Al2O3 particulate reinforcement. It is shown how alloy composition and processing conditions can significantly affect interfacial reactions and how the subsequent properties of the composite can be modified.
