Abstract
The tensile behavior has been observed on the metallic composites arranged in a chequered flag pattern with two elements of metals which are soluble and insoluble in each other. The composites were prepared by hot pressing; the condition for the Al-Cu composite was 2 hr at 550°C and that for the Cu-Fe composite was 24 hr at 950°C under a total pressure of 2 tons.
The Al-Cu composite of the soluble type, formed an intermetallic compound at the interface when the composite was fabricated and its tensile behavior was greatly influenced by this intermetallic compound. The tensile behavior of Cu-Fe composite of the insoluble type, was influenced by the Cu elements having a low elasticity compared with Fe.
