Modification Process of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement for Aluminum Matrix Composite

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modification process of carbon fiber reinforcement was investigated so as to produce aluminum matrix composite on a large scale. A series of pretreatment technologies could acquire chemical deposition silver, which became the base of copperplating on the surface of carbon fibers. The optimum conditions of electroless plating copper, including components, adding amount of carbon fibers, temperature, pH value, and mixing method, were determined to obtain a perfect copper layer on the surface of carbon fibers. The control of copper deposition and repeating utilization of many technology solutions were realized to reduce the costs. The results laid a foundation of mass production for carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composite.
