Abstract
This paper proposes a method for simple and easy fabrication of brittle and highly functional ceramic fiber/aluminum composites by the interphase forming/bonding (IF/B) method in air. In the previous researches, brittle functional fibers such as optical fiber and piezoelectric ceramic fiber have been successfully embedded in an aluminum matrix by the IF/B method using copper insert in a vacuum. In this study, optical fiber/aluminum composites were fabricated by using the newly developed compact hot-pressing equipment capable of quick operation in air, and the main results can be summarized as follows: 1) By changing the fabrication atmosphere from vacuum to air, the oxidation could be improved simply by increasing the heating rate, which became possible by using the new compact equipment. 2) The pre-pressing process in the IF/B method in air was proved to be useful to minimize the oxidation
