Abstract
Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) with an aluminium-silicon based LM-13 a lloy and short-staple Saffil (delta-alumina) fibres with volume fracti ons of 0,10, 0.15, 0.20 0.25, and 0.30 have been produced using a pres sure liquid infiltration process. The standard T6 heat treatment proce dure was applied to both the unreinforced matrix alloy and the composi tes, and the effect of the fibres on the age-hardening characteristics of the composites has been investigated by means of hardness measurem ents.
