Abstract

The dynamic fracture processes of hot-extruded SiCw-6061 Al composite were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of the off-axis angle on the strength and the fracture mechanism of the composite was studied in detail. On the basis of the SEM observations, two tensile fracture models, namely the brittle fracture model and the shear fracture model, are discussed.
