Effect of TiC Coating Thickness on Carbon Fiber Surface on Microstructure and Properties of Aluminum Matrix Composites by Hongkui Zhang, Yipeng Lan, Xiangjia Meng, Wenjie Liu, Guanglong Li

“…However, an excessively thick coating not only reduces the strength of the fibers, due to excessive reactions, but also makes the coating prone to detachment during the preparation process due to stress. At a holding time of 3 h, the tensile strength of the CF/Al composite material reaches its highest value, with a tensile strength of 103.93 MPa and an impressive 72.35% enhancement over that of the aluminum.…”
