Abstract
The quality of interface bonding between matrix and reinforcement is important in composite strengthening. Interface bonding strength of particulate reinforced metal matrix composites were investigated by joining process. The aluminum/silicon carbide specimens were prepared by different processing temperature with constant holding time. The structural morphologies have been evaluated by using scanning electron microscope and interfacial products were identified by using energy dispersive spectroscopy. The interface strength has been evaluated by tensile test and microhardness test.
