Effects of whisker surface modification on microstructures, mechanical and thermal properties of β-Si3N4 whiskers reinforced Al matrix composites

In order to modify the interfacial bonding of β-Si3N4 whiskers (β-Si3N4w) reinforced Al matrix composites, the Ag-coated β-Si3N4w with varying Ag contents were incorporated into the Al matrix by a hot pressing method. The interfacial structure showed that the β-Si3N4w was surrounded by an amorphous...
