Structure and properties of the Al/SiC composite material

Resumo

Structure has been studied and the distribution of the filler in the samples of the metal-matrix Al/SiC composite containing 50% SiC has been analyzed. The sizes and shapes of the particles of the filler have been determined; the cohesion of the metallic matrix with the filler has been investigated. The analysis of the mechanism of fracture after tensile tests at 350°C and uniaxial compression of the samples of composite at 300 and 600°C has been carried out.
