Fabrication and Fracture Characteristics of AlN/Ni Laminated Composites

Abstract

The AlN/Ni laminated composites were fabrication by plasma activated sintering. In the composites, the AlN layers were matrix layers and the Ni layers were as the toughening layers. The microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. XRD and SEM results showed that there was no new phase generated during sintering. The composites were strengthened by the metal Ni layer.
