A carbon fibre reinforced nickel composite has been fabricated, and some of the mechanical properties investigated. The composite contains some misaligned and broken fibres, and a poor bond exists between the carbon fibre and the nickel. The mechanical properties are, to a very large extent, influenced by these factors. The oxidation resistance was found to be poor, and therefore a serious limitation for high temperature use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
