Process/composite concurrent tailoring of SiC/Ti composites
Abstract
Recent work on the prediction of optimal processing and material characteristics for improved fatigue behavior of metal and intermetallic matrix composites (MMC's/IMC's) is summarized. The method is incorporated into the MMLT (Metal Matrix Laminate Tailoring) code. Excellent correlations between predictions for the isothermal fatigue life of the SCS-6/Ti-24Al-11Nb composite and experimental data are obtained at various temperatures and stress ranges. Finally, the optimal processing conditions for improved isothermal fatigue life of the composite are evaluated and the attained isothermal fatigue life improvements are shown.
