Previous papers on silicon carbide/Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn (SCS6/Ti-15-3) composite have explored many aspects of fatigue behavior in this system. However, most of this effort has centered on composites with a 35 volume percent (v/o) fiber content. The objective of this study was to systematically compare the isothermal fatigue behavior of unidirectionally reinforced SCS6/Ti-15-3 composites with significantly different fiber contents. The target fiber contents of interest were 15, 35 and 45 v/o in this study.
