Aluminum-based metal matrix composites offer unique combinations of high specific strength and high stiffness. The improvement in strength and stiffness is related to the particulate reinforcement and the particular matrix alloy chosen. In this way, the metal matrix composite can be tailored for specific materials applications. The microstructural characterization of metal matrix composites is thus important in the development of these materials. In this study, the structure of a p/m 2014-SiC particulate metal matrix composite has been examined after extrusion and tensile deformation.Thin-foil specimens of the 2014-20 vol.% SiCp metal matrix composite were prepared by dimpling to approximately 35 μm prior to ion-milling using a Gatan Dual Ion Mill equipped with a cold stage. These samples were then examined in a Philips 400T TEM/STEM operated at 120 kV. Two material conditions were evaluated: after extrusion (80:1); and after tensile deformation at 250°C.

In situ high-energy X-ray diffraction using a synchrotron source performed on a steel metal matrix composite reinforced by TiC allows the evolutions of internal stresses during cooling to be followed thanks to the development of a new original experimental device (a transportable radiation furnace with controlled rotation of the specimen). Using the device on a high-energy beamline during in situ thermal treatment, we were able to extract the evolution of the stress tensor components in all phases: austenite, TiC, and even during the martensitic phase transformation of the matrix.
