Abstract

Mechanical properties and deformation microstructures of two SiCp/Al composites with different matrix strengths under dynamic loading conditions were studied. It was determined that the matrix strength has an important effect on the fracture mechanisms of SiCp/Al composites. For the composite with a low matrix strength, failure is initiated by nucleation, growth and coalescence with a strong matrix, failure is caused by tearing of the SiC-Al interface and by SiC particle cracking.
