Abstract

The sputtering rate by argon ions was determined for five carbon fibres with different carbonization temperatures, and the rate was found to be in the range 3×10−3 to 8×10−3 Μm/min, when an acceleration voltage of 2 kV was applied. The relation between the sputtering rate and the mechanical properties was examined. The sputtering rate and its yield increased with the decrease of the modulus of elasticity.
