Abstract
At reacts with SiC in metal matrix composites, resulting in the deteriorati on of properties. This communication reports a specific feature in the micr ostructure of SiC particle reinforced At alloy that is generated by this re action. Approximately rectangular pits are formed on the SiC particles that are readily detectable by optical and scanning electron microscopic observ ations. A possible mechanism for forming the pits is also stated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
