Abstract
Ceramic-metal composite materials prepared by the metal infiltration process have become the topic of intense research. The interface reaction between ceramic and metal has an important impact on the mechanical properties of composite materials. This article, for the first time, studies the interface reaction between BN and Al. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were both employed to study interface reaction. Studies have shown that there is an intermediate transition interface between metal and ceramic. The interface reaction between Al and BN produces AlN, and there is no close connection among AlN particles. The grain size of AlN is about 1~2μm. The rate order is: Al element > B element > N element.
