Abstract
Carbon-fiber-reinforced bulk metallic glass composites are produced by infi ltrating liquid Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 into carbon fiber bundles wi th diameter of the individual fiber of 5 mum. Reactive wetting occurs by th e formation of a ZrC layer around the fibers. This results in a composite w ith a homogeneous fiber distribution. The volume fraction of the fibers is about 50% and the density of the composite amounts to 4.0 g/cm(3). (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
