Tensile and Fatigue Behavior of Al-Based Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with Continuous Carbon or Alumina Fibers: Part II. Quasi-Unidirectional Composite Cross-Ply Laminates

From: Metallurgical and Materials Transactions | Date: October 1, 2004| Author: | Copyright information

The mechanical behavior (tension, fatigue, and notch sensitivity) of Al-based metal matrix composite (MMC) cross-ply laminates is investigated. The two selected laminates, K139/A357 and N610/AU2, are reinforced by continuous K139 (carbon) or N610 (alumina) fibers. These multiplies consist in the stacking of (quasi-unidirectional) quasi-UD preforms oriented at 0, ±45, and 90 deg, the thermomechanical behavior of the corresponding quasi-UD composites being reported independently (Part I). The investigated cross-ply laminates exhibit attractive static and cyclic performances and a low notch ...
