EXPERIMENT AND ANALYSIS OF INTERFACE TENSION STRENGTH OF METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES

Alaser spallation experiment technique is used to measure the interface tension strength of Cu/SiC laminate materials. The critical stress amplitude is determined from a computer simulation of the process. It is found that the interface tension strength ranges from 8.19 to 8.56GPa, and the average streng this 8.36 GPa. In the case of Si/SiC, the results given by the paper are in good agreement with the results obtained by Gupta.
