## Abstract The appearance of Metal Matrix Composites has opened a new area in structural design. The possibility of tailoring mechanical properties of structural metals reinforced with particles or fibers into specific spacecraft applications is very appealing. This paper deals with such a MMC, wh

β¦ Synopsis
This study compares different methods to cut SiC fibers as a semiβfinished product for the production of lightweight TiβMMC parts with high specific strength and stiffness for aerospace applications. Special attention has to be paid to the cutting surface morphology of fibers to get a homogeneous distribution of fibers in the final part. As a test, Titanium 6β4 coated and uncoated SiC fiber types have been cut with three different methods: bending, cutting the fibers with scissors, laser cutting.

## Abstract Micro/nanomechanical and tribological characterization of SiC has been carried out. For comparison, measurements on SiC, CoCrMo, Tiβ6Alβ4V, and stainless steel have also been made. Hardness and elastic modulus of these materials were measured by nanoindentation using a nanoindenter. The
