AB  - Carbon nano/micro-structures used as fillers in metallic lightweight alloy matrix 
      composites are receiving considerable attention in scientific research and 
      industrial applications. Aluminum and magnesium are the most studied light metals 
      used as matrices in metal composites materials, principally for their low density 
      (respectively 2.7 g/cm(3) and 1.7 g/cm(3)) and low melting temperature (around 
      660  degrees C for both metals). A good interaction between matrix and fillers is the 
      first step to obtain an increase in bulk properties; furthermore, the 
      manufacturing procedure of the composite is fundamental in terms of quality of 
      fillers dispersion. In this work the influence of surface modifications for three 
      classes of carbon fillers for aluminum and magnesium alloy (AZ63) as matrices is 
      studied. In particular, the selected fillers are short carbon micro fibers 
      (SCMFs), carbon woven fabrics (CWF), and unidirectional yarn carbon fibers 
      (UYFs). The surface modification was carried out by a direct coating of pure 
      nickel on fibers. The electroless pure nickel plating was chosen as the coating 
      technique and the use of hydrazine as reducing agent has prevented the 
      co-deposition of other elements (such as P or B). Scanning electron microscope 
      (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were performed to 
      study the effect of surface modifications. The mechanical properties of 
      manufactured composites were evaluated by 4-point flexural tests according to 
      ASTM C1161 (room temperature). Results confirm improved interactions between 
      matrix and fillers, and the specific interaction was studied for any chosen 
      reinforcement.
