Abstract
Fatigue-life-time behaviour has been examined of extruded 6061 alumini um alloy composites reinforced with 15 vol.% SiC and 10 vol.% Al2O3 pa rticles. The peak particle sizes are at about 4.5 and 6 mu m. Within m easured S-N curves the fatigue life-time at given stress amplitudes of SiCp/AA6061 is superiour well as in the high-cycle fatigue region. Th e discussion of these results has been done by means of theoretical ev aluated crack propagation curves. Interfacial bonding has been studied by means of TEM investigations.
