Abstract

Abstract: Continuous carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites have many excellent characteristics such as high specific strength, low density, good heat transfer, and low coefficient of thermal expansion, making them have broad application prospects in fields such as aviation materials, automotive manufacturing, electronic equipment, and industrial production. The preparation method of continuous carbon fiber surface coating was discussed. Summarized the main preparation processes, important research achievements and existing problems of CCF/Al composites in recent years. Finally, the article focuses on the research results of our team's use of twin-roll casting technology to prepare CCF/Al composites, including the experimental equipment built, properties of modified carbon fibers, microstructure and strengthening mechanism of the prepared composites. The main problems currently existing were elaborated and the development prospects were discussed.
