Fundamental relationships between microstructures and mechanical properties of metal matrix composites; Proceedings of the Symposium, TMS Fall Meeting, Indianapolis, IN, Oct. 1-5, 1989
The present conference on microstructure-strength relationships in metal-matrix composites (MMCs) discusses the squeeze-cast structure and properties of ceramic fiber-reinforced Al-Cu alloys, in situ particulate composites via hot extrusion of a melt-soun amorphous alloy, superplasticity during thermal cycling of metal-matrix composites, effects of SiC-whisker reinforcement on the precipitation behaviors/tensile properties of Al-Cu alloys, XRD measurements of residual stresses in SiC/Ti composites, and phase transformations in MMCs. Also discussed are the effects of long term thermal exposure on the interfacial chemistry of MMCs, the effect of fiber-bridging on fatigue crack growth in Ti-matrix composites, the influence of matrix microstructure on the wear of Al-Si/graphite composites, the effect of thermal shock on fiber-reinforced superalloy composites, strengthening mechanisms in W powder-reinforced U, and the threshold of creep resistance in an SiC-reinforced Al alloy.
