Abstract
Thermal studies have been carried out on a series of particulate (SiC and Al2O3) reinforced 6061 Al metal matrix composites. Differential sc anning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis have provided infor mation on the formation/dissolution of precipitate phase(s) and the ef fect of temperature on the short-term storage modulus of the materials , respectively. These studies were also used to identify the phase cha nges responsible for the maximum damping properties of the materials.
