Abstract:The elevated temperature modulus and strength of aluminum, titanium, and hybrid aluminum/titanium metal matrix composites were investigated. Aluminum (6061-F) and titanium (Ti-6AI-4V) metal matrix composites reinforced with AVCO silicon carbide or boron fibers were vacuum hot pressed and their tensile properties evaluated to temperatures in excess of 300°C. Microstructure, fracture modes and mechanical properties were characterized to assess the effect of fibers and matrix on composite strength and modulus as … Show more
