Constant stress tensile creep tests were conducted on AZ91D–20 vol.%, 25 vol.%, and 30 vol.% Al2O3-SiO2short fiber composites and on an unreinforced AZ91D matrix alloy. The creep resistance of the reinforced materials is shown to be considerably improved compared with the matrix alloy. With the increasing volume fraction of short fibers, the creep resistance of AZ91D composites is improved, and their creep threshold stresses are also increased accordingly. Because of the increasing volume fraction of short fibers, loads of bearing and transmission of short fibers will increase, and thus the creep resistance of AZ91D composites further improves, but the precipitation of β-Mg17Al12precipitate increases in the number, it is easy to soften coarse, so that threshold stress of AZ91D composite does not increase greatly.

Constant stress tensile creep tests were conducted on an AZ 91–25 vol.% aluminum silicate short fiber composite and on an unreinforced AZ 91 matrix alloy. The creep resistance of the composite is shown to be considerably improved compared with the matrix alloy, and the resistance effect is better with the increase of temperature. The steady-state creep rate of the composite is 4.54% of matrix alloy at 473K, and 2.56% of matrix alloy at 573K. The creep strengthening arises mainly from the effective load transfer between plastic flow in the matrix and the fibers. Microstructural investigations by SEM revealed good fiber–matrix interface bonding during creep exposure. Short fibers have a great function in load bearing and transmission load, and greatly hinder the dislocation movement, thus enhancing the creep resistance of the composite. The creep mechanism of the composite is dislocation and grain boundary sliding control.

Short fibers have a great function in load bearing and load transfer, and greatly hinder the dislocation movement, thus enhancing the creep resistance of the composite. Damage and multiple rupture of aluminum silicate short fiber, quality of the interface combination between aluminum silicate short fiber reinforcement and the matrix, are two important factors of the creep deformation microstructure process control of Al2O3-SiO2(sf)/AZ91 composite. The creep mechanism of the composite is dislocation and grain boundary sliding control.

Composite manufacturing is done by hand lay-up method with a fiber volume fraction 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% with unidirectional and random short fiber orientation of pineapple leaves. Specimen testing is performed with a standard tensile strength test ASTM D3039. As a results is known that the tensile strength of composites increased with increasing fiber volume fraction for unidirectional fiber orientation, but rather to the random orientation of short fibers. Meanwhile, the composite tensile strain increases withincreasingfibervolume fractionfor both theorientation of thefibersof pineappleleaves.

The rotating bending fatigue tests in high cycle region were carried out on alumina short fiber reinforced aluminum alloy composites (MMCs) at room and elevated temperatures of 200, 350, 400 and 450°C. The four kind of MMCs with 0%, 10%, 18% and 25% volume fraction were prepared in order to investigate the effects of alumina short fiber volume fraction on the fatigue property such as the fatigue strength, the crack initiation and propagation behaviors. As results, it was found that the fatigue strength at 107 cycles decreased with increase in the test temperature, but increased with an increase in alumina short fiber volume fraction at room and elevated temperatures. The crack initiation sites were large size alumina short fibers; some kind of cluster of short fibers and large size alumina particles (i.e. shots). And the crack growth paths were related to the distribution of the short fibers.

Propagation of ultrasonic wave in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is greatly influenced by the material’s matrix, resins and fiber volume ratio. Laser ultrasonic broadband spectral technique has been demonstrated for porosity and fiber volume ratio extraction on unidirection aligned CFRP laminates. Porosity in the matrix materials can be calculated by longitudinal wave attenuation and accurate fiber volume ratio can be derived by combined velocity through the high strength carbon fiber and the matrix material with further consideration of porosity effects. The results have been benchmarked by pulse-echo ultrasonic tests, gas pycnometer and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The potentials and advantages of the laser ultrasonic technique as a non-destructive evaluation method for CFRP carbon fiber volume fraction evaluation were demonstrated.

A pair of two new tensors called GPS tensors S and D is proposed for the concentric cylindrical inclusion problem. GPS tensor S relates the strain in the inclusion constrained by the matrix of finite radius to the uniform transformation strain (eigenstrain), whereas tensor D relates the strain in the matrix to the same eigenstrain. When the cylindrical matrix is of infinite radius, tensor S reduces to the appropriate Eshelby’s tensor. Explicit expressions to evaluate thermal residual stresses σr, σθ and σz in the matrix and the fiber using tensor D and tensor S, respectively, are developed. Since the geometry of the present problem is of finite radius, the effect of fiber volume fraction on the stress distribution can be easily studied. Results for the thermal residual stress distributions are compared with Eshelby’s infinite domain solution and finite element results for a specified fiber volume fraction.

ABSTRACTFor the Ni-base TaC eutectics, it has been shown previously that carbide volume fraction is a strong function of Ta/C ratio. Now in a number of Ni,Cr-TaC and Ni,Cr,Al-TaC alloys, Cr has been observed to have only a small influence on volume fraction of carbide, while Al has a major influence acting to decrease the volume fraction. The Al present in the matrix causes the phase equilibrium to approach that of a much greater Ta/C ratio. This analysis has been extended to more complex NiTaC alloys as well. For the simple Ni-Cr-Ta-C alloys, creep behavior has been studied as a function of volume fraction of carbide.Other carbide systems have been evaluated as well, including TiC and NbC. A general understanding of volume fraction differences between these systems and TaC can be reached by consideration of ideal solution behavior and the appropriate phase diagrams.
