Study on tensile strengths of Al_2O_3 short fiber reinforced Zn-Al alloy composites at elevated temperatures

摘要

Al_2O_3 short fiber reinforced Zn-Al alloy composites were fabricated with a squeeze casting process. The tensile strengths of the composites at elevated temperature were studied using autograph AG-10TA universal testing machines. The relationships between tensile strength, temperature, and fiber volume fraction were established employing a modified rule of mixture (ROM) model.
