On the influence of fibre texture on the compression creep behaviour of a short fibre reinforced aluminium alloy

摘要

The creep behaviour of Al-Zn/8 vol.% "Saffil" metal matrix composites (MMCs) with a random planar fibre texture ("fibre plane") was found to depend on the orientation of the fibre plane with respect to the loading axis and on the sign of the applied load. The results are discussed and compared to findings for MMCs with higher volume fractions.
