JOINING OF CARBON FIBRE- COPPER COMPOSITE TO METALS

Fibre reinforced composites belongs to the group of composites with programmable properties, which are meant to be the most attractive kind of advanced materials. Carbon fibre-copper composites are used e.g. for electric contacts, dilatation bases for power semiconductive elements and also for brazes with enhanced mechanical strength. The important problem is joining of these composites to metal-techni-cal alloys. This paper contains the results of investigations on bonding carbon fibre-copper to molybdenum and carbon fibre-Ag-Cu alloy to FeNi42 alloy. The presented paper includes the results of structural investigations (microstructure, linear elements distributions and X-ray diffraction patterns)
