Direct measurement of drainage curves in infiltration of SiC particle preforms: influence of interfacial reactivity

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maryam Bahraini Hasani

We present dynamic measurement of drainage curves in two systems having relevance to metal matrix composite processing, namely SiC/Al and SiC/Al-12.2at%Si. Data show that liquid/solid chemical reactions that cause a lowering of the contact angle do indeed ...

Surface Modification of Diamonds in Diamond/Al-matrix Composites

Ludger Weber, Reza Tavangar Hamzehkolaei

Fe- or Mn-powders were mixed with the diamonds and the mixtures were heat treated under different gas atmospheres like hydrogen or argon gas and at varying temperatures in order to roughen the surface of the diamond particles. Subsequently the reaction lay ...

Damage evolution in Saffil alumina short-fibre reinforced aluminium during tensile testing

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Reza Tavangar Hamzehkolaei

The evolution of microstructural damage during tensile deformation of pure aluminium reinforced with 10 vol.% alumina short fibres is studied by monitoring the evolution of density and Young's modulus as a function of tensile strain. It is found that Young ...

Influence of sample processing parameters on thermal boundary conductance value in an Al/AlN system

Ludger Weber, Mohamad Hojeij, Christian Monachon

The influence of sample processing parameters on the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) between aluminum and aluminum nitride has been investigated by transient thermoreflectance. An evaporated Al layer on the polished substrate yielded a TBC at ambient of ...

Ductility of Saffil(TM) short fibre reinforced metals

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Reza Tavangar Hamzehkolaei

It is proposed that a critical combination of matrix strain hardening exponent and fibre volume fraction must be exceeded to confer attractive tensile ductility to short-fibre reinforced metal. © 2005 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. Al ...

Damage accumulation during cyclic loading of a continuous alumina fibre reinforced aluminium composite

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Benedikt Moser

Fibres fracture gradually during the fatigue cycling of continuous alumina fibre reinforced aluminium. The number of fibre breaks increases linearly with the logarithmic cycle number, depends on the maximum stress and the stress ratio, and agrees with publ ...
