TLDR
In this article, the structure of the silicon carbide-boron interface has been revealed by transmission electron microscopy and it has been shown that interfacial failure is seldom a mode of composite fracture.Abstract:
The fibre-matrix interfacial region has been examined in BORSIC®-aluminium. The structure of this interface and that of the silicon carbide-boron interface have been revealed by transmission electron microscopy. Observations of composite fracture surfaces have indicated the considerable strength of the fibre-matrix interface and have shown that interfacial failure is seldom a mode of composite fracture.read more

Stable and metastable phase equilibria in the chemical interaction between aluminium and silicon carbide
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out on the Al-C-Si ternary system under atmospheric pressure and at temperatures up to 1900 K. From the results obtained, a thermodynamic model based on stable and metastable phase equilibria was set up in order to provide a general description of the chemical interaction between aluminium and SiC.

The Influence of Austenite Strength Upon the Austenite-Martensite Transformation in Alloy Steels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the resistance of austenite to plastic deformation (austenite flow stress) using a high temperature tensile apparatus and correlated the flow stress with the Ms temperature as determined magnetically during subsequent cooling.

Preparation and properties of silicon carbide-coated boron filaments
M. Basche,R. Fanti,F. Galasso +2 more
TL;DR: Silicon carbide-coated boron filaments have been produced both in a continuous and in a two-step process as mentioned in this paper, and the silicon carbide coating inhibits the oxidation of borons and also impedes the diffusion of bors into an aluminum or titanium matrix at elevated temperatures.
