Mechanical and Impact Behaviour of (Al2O3)p/2014 and (Al2O3)p/6061 Al Metal Matrix Composites in the 25-200°C Range

The present work is aimed at studying the impact behaviour of commercially available Aluminium matrix composites, in a temperature interval ranging from 25C° to 200°C. The results of instrumented impact tests and of microstructural and fractographic observations are correlated with the tensile prope...

Description
Summary:The present work is aimed at studying the impact behaviour of commercially available Aluminium matrix composites, in a temperature interval ranging from 25C° to 200°C. The results of instrumented impact tests and of microstructural and fractographic observations are correlated with the tensile properties of these materials. A description of the phenomena involved (particles cracking, interfacial failure associated to matrix-reinforcement reaction layers, ductile behaviour of the matrix) is given. The effect of testing temperature as well as that of the matrix characteristics are presented and discussed.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
