Abstract
This paper describes the formation of aluminium carbide at the interface between aluminium and carbon fibres as a result of annealing for 4 h at 550°C or above, or for 1 h at 620°C or above. For a quantitative analysis of the reaction, measurements were made of the weight reductions of carbon fibre that occurred as a result of annealing, these reductions being proportional to the quantity of aluminium carbide formed. The relationship between the amount of aluminium carbide formed, the tensile strength and the surface characteristics of carbon fibres is discussed.
