Abstract

Metal matrix composites consisting of continuous boron fibres in an aluminium matrix have been made by roll bonding thin tapes consisting of aligned fibres surrounded by plasma-sprayed aluminium. The bonding was carried out by conventional hot rolling and in a newly designed rolling mill with heated rolls and workpiece to provide essentially isothermal deformation. Composites produced by the latter method had superior mechanical properties. Measured composite strengths were compared with the values predicted by theory.
