Abstract

The effect of the stress state on the fracture locus function of the 50 vol.% Al/SiC metal matrix composite at high temperature is studied. The value of fracture locus function is quantitatively characterized by the amount of shear strain accumulated prior to the moment of failure. Nondimensional invariant parameters are used as characteristics of the stress state, namely, the stress triaxiality k and the Lode-Nadai coefficient μ σ showing the form of the stress state. Besides conventional testing for tension, compression and torsion of smooth cylindrical specimens, the complex of mechanical tests includes a new type of testing, namely, that for bell-shaped specimens. These kinds of testing enable one to study fracture strain under monotonic deformation in the ranges μ σ  = 0 … + 1 and k = − 1.08...0 without using high-pressure technologies. The stress–strain state during specimen testing is here evaluated from the finite element simulation of testing in ANSYS. The tests were performed at a temperature of 300 °C and shear strain rate intensity Η = 0.1; 0.3; 0.5 1/s. The test results have offered a fracture locus, which can be used in models of damage mechanics to predict fracture of the material in die forging processes.
