Abstract

Composite materials have many desirable characteristics that contribute to the improvement of product designs that currently exist today. Use of composites brings about many changes in design, manufacturing, and production of such products, including the interface of tradition materials with composites. This study examines the interaction between carbon fiber and aluminum. The results showed that surface finish and the manufacturing of such interface did play a significant role in the strength of each sample.
