The effects of microstructure on strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of reactionformed silicon carbide and heat treatment on the properties of reaction-formed silicon carbide have been investigated in this paper. The results show strength and corrosion resistance of reaction-formed silicon carbide decrease with increasing Si content. Fracture toughness shows no rule with free Si content. The average SiC grain size and bonding area of SiC grain increase during heat treatment at 1850°C. The strengths of the samples after heat treatment decrease compared with that of the samples before heat treatment due to the pores in the heat treatment bodies.

Abstract This chapter provides information and data on the fatigue and fracture properties of steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys. It explains how microstructure, grain size, inclusions, and other factors affect the fracture toughness and fatigue life of these materials and the extent to which they can be optimized. It also discusses the effect of metalworking and heat treatment, the influence of loading and operating conditions, and factors such as corrosion damage that can accelerate crack growth rates.

ABSTRACTThe microstructure and properties of thin films depends strongly upon the alloy composition. A study was made of the metallurgical aspects of homogeneous Al alloy films, particularly the binary Al-Ti and the ternary Al-Ti-Si systems. Electrical resistivity, grain size morphology, second phase formation and electromigration have been studied as a function of the alloy composition and its heat treatment.

The objective of this work is to investigate the process parameters which influence the fracture toughness of aluminum-silicon carbide particulate composite prepared using the stir casting technique. The Taguchi’s design of experiments is conducted to analyze the process parameters. Three parameters considered are composition of material, grain size and a/W ratio. From the Taguchi’s analysis, on compact tension specimens, aluminum 6061 reinforced with 9 wt% of the silicon carbide particles composite and a/W ratio of 0.45 are considered to be optimized parameters. Taguchi's technique result shows that the increment in the a/W ratio causes decrement in the load carrying capacity of the composite. Whereas the fine grain size of silicon carbide have better toughness values. From the ANOVA outcomes it is clear that the composition and a/W ratio of the geometry has more influence on the fracture toughness than the grain size of reinforcement.
