Abstract: The effects of fiber coating (C/SiC/SiO 2) on interfacial characteristic and fracture behavior of carbon fiber reinforced magnesium composites have been investigated in an effort to better understand the factors contributing to the tensile strength. Varying the coating thickness was found to strongly affect axial strength of the composites, basically consistent with the coating model. Due to the narrow range of the appropriate coating thickness, its optimum value was given.
