Investigation of the effect of compacting mode parameters of a carbon-aluminum wire preform on the strength of the produced compact

The effect of the modes of compaction of a carbon-aluminum composite of a wire preform on its microstructure, properties, and nature of fracture has been studied. It is shown that with an increase in the temperature, load, and holding time, the volume fraction of pores decreases, and the fraction of fiber increases, which leads to an increase in the composite strength. In all cases, the shape of the fracture surface indicates the brittle nature of the composite fracture.
