This project was concerned with low cost, metal matrix composites for chassis and powertrain applications. The project had two major components - fatigue and non-destructive evaluation (NDE). The fatigue component of the project studied the fatigue failure mechanisms at elevated temperature (both isothermal and thermo-mechanical fatigue) with the objective of improving material performance. The NDE component of the project developed rapid, high resolution NDE techniques to quantify internal defects in components. All deliverables for the project were met with the exception of transfer of an NDE inspection system. There were no significant changes in either the fatigue or the NDE portions of the project relative to the original proposal.
