Abstract: It is found that the interface in unidirectional C/C composits fabricated with mesophase pitch in O.8T magnetic field belongs to TOG (Transversely Oritented Graphite), a kind of weak interface in the composites, and the flexural strength of this kind of composite decreases slighty. In addition its ductility increases strongly. The work here is an effort to investigate the influence of TOG on the mechanical propertics of the composites.

Key words: strong magnetic field, C/C composites, pitch mesophase, orientation, interface, flex-ural strength
