β¦ Synopsis
The effects of systematic changes in reinforcement size and matrix microstructure on the crack initiation and growth toughness of a 7091 aluminum alloy reinforced with SiC particulates were studied. It is shown that changes in matrix microstructure have a significant effect on both initiation and growth toughness. The effect of reinforcement size on these properties is far less marked. These observations have been related to local microstructural parameters and the nature of the distribution of the reinforcement.
