Low Young's modulus carbon fiber(XN-05C) reinforced aluminum composites were made by metallurgical method before extrusion and rolling. The XN-05C/2017 Al and XN-05C/Meso-10 Al composites indicates the low Young's modulus of 40~60GPs in the case volume fraction (Vf) of the carbon fiber are 0.1~0.3 and the tensile strength of XN/Meso-10 Al composites exhibits 400~600MPa in Vf=0.10~0.15. Therefore, metal matrix composites, which exhibit high tensile strength and low Young's modulus, could be developed. The low Young's modulus aluminum composites have a potential to apply to medical application, an industrial robot, a spring for automobiles, a glasses flame and a vibration absorption.
Summary: Aluminum matrix composites, which exhibit high tensile strength of 400~600 Mpa and low YoungOs modulus of 40~60GPa, could be developed.
The low YoungOs modulus aluminum composites have a potential to apply to medical application, an industrial robot, a spring for automobiles, a glasses flame and a vibration absorption.
