Abstract

This study explores the relations between processing routes, microstructures and mechanical properties of the matrix/reinforcement interfaces in MoSi2/Nb composites. It was found that the fracture energy of the interfacial region depended on the interfacial bond strength, roughness of interface, and the nature of the interfacial compounds. The fracture energy between the oxide coating and intermetallic interfacial compounds was found to be lower than that between two intermetallics or between Nb and an intermetallic. Processing routes were found to affect the fracture energy of the interfacial region by changing interphase formation, changing microstructure of materials adjacent to the interface, or changing roughness of interface.
