Effect of alumina particle additions on the aging kinetics of 2014-aluminum matrix composites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was conducted on 2014 aluminum, 2014 aluminum reinforced with 10 and 15 percent by volume of alumina particles, 2024 aluminum, and a A1/4%Cu alloy. Electrical resistivity and matrix ...
Effect of thermal residual stresses on the stress-strain behavior of metal-matrix composites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-06)
A phenomenological and parametric study was conducted to
assess the effect of thermal residual stresses on the stressstrain
response of a discontinuous fiber-reinforced metalmatrix
composite in tensile and compressive ...
Metallization of CVD diamond using metal oxide intermediate layers for electronics packaging
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1997-03)
The high thermal conductivity of chemically vapor deposited CVD diamond (up to 2000 W/m/K) and its low dielectric constant (approx. 5.6) makes it highly desirable for use as an electronics packaging substrate material. To ...
An investigation of the effects of secondary processing on the fracture properties of a SiCp-6XXX Al composite
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1996-06)
Discontinuous reinforced aluminum (DRA) composites are attractive as structural materials because of their desirable stiffness and strength to weight ratios and relative ease of manufacture. However, they typically display ...
Thermal and mechanical fatigue of 6061 Al - P100 Gr metal matrix composite
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-09)
Aluminum-Graphite composite material was tested under thermal and mechanical cyclic loads. Initial thermal cycling experiments of a diffusion bonded, 11 ply composite showed crack nucleation at regions of poor liquid metal ...
A constant-depth scratch test for the measurement of adhesion at film-substrate interfaces
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1994-03)
This thesis reviews the development of the constant-depth Scratch Test for determining the adhesive shear strength of thin film-substrate interfaces, and proposes refinements to the theoretical ...
Effect of thermomechanical treatments on the aging response of centrifugally cast silicon carbide/aluminum composites
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-06)
Differential scanning calorimetry was conducted using centrifugally cast monolithic A3356 aluminum material and 26 volume present silicon carbide (SiC) particle reinforced A356 aluminum matrix composite material in as-cast, ...
Thermal cycling behavior of unidirectional and cross-plied P100 Gr/6061 aluminium composites.
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1992-09)
The thermal strain response of as-cast samples of 40% PI 00 graphite fiber
reinforced 6061 Al composites in the unidirectionally reinforced and the [0/90]
cross-plied configuration was studied. Thermal strain hysteresis ...
Studies of intermetallic growth in Cu-solder systems and wettability at solid-liquid interfaces
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-09)
The metallurgical bond formed between tin-lead solder and the copper substrate is characterized by the formation of an intermetallic compound layer. The growth of the intermetallic layer is the result of competing mechanisms, ...
A feasibility study of liquid phase siinter forming of a model ceramic system
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1998-09-01)
The feasibility of a new manufacturing process of ceramic materials in which net shaped products are produced via sintering and simultaneously deforming is studied. A suitable model system of SiO2-B2O3 is chosen due to its ...
