Jf. Durodola et B. Derby, AN ANALYSIS OF THERMAL RESIDUAL-STRESSES IN TI-6-4 ALLOY REINFORCED WITH SIC AND AL2O3 FIBERS, Acta metallurgica et materialia, 42(5), 1994, pp. 1525-1534
Thermal residual stresses in Ti-6Al-4V alloy reinforced with silicon c
arbide (SiC) and sapphire alumina (Al2O3) films are estimated based on
an elastic-viscoplastic micromechanics analysis. Effects of fibre vol
ume fraction and different manufacturing procedures are considered and
comparisons made with published experimental results for the SiC fibr
e composite. Stress components in the Ti-6-4/Al2O3 are generally less
than half the corresponding values in the Ti-6-4/SiC composite.
