    Abstract

    The interfacial shear strength of SiC fiber reinforced aluminum composite has been studied by the fragmentation test of single

    fiber reinforced model specimens after a number of fatigue cycles. The result shows that apparent stiffness of the testing machine is

    influenced by cyclic loading, which will affect the calculation of fiber strength by Cloughs model. An extracting test in which

    fragmented fiber was extracted out by dissolving the matrix material in NaOH water solution indicated that the fiber strength did

    not lose via vacuum hot press treatment. This result contradicts the Cloughs model. The experimental result showed that the critical

    length of the fiber increases a little after a few cycles of fatigue loading and thus, the interfacial shear strength decreases. The reason

    for this is that the thermal residual stress around the fiber developed during fabrication decreases in cyclic loading.

    1. Introduction

    The fiber reinforced metal matrix composites (MMC)

    have been subjected to intensive researches for their

    good merits such as high stiffness, high strength, high

    damping and high fatigue crack propagation resistance.

    The interface between fibers and matrix plays a very

    important role in transferring load and turn out to be a

    key factor in the mechanical properties of MMC [1/3].

    There are several ways to measure the interfacial

    strength such as push out, pull out and fragmenta-tion for single fiber reinforced model specimen. Each

    method is characterized with its way of measurement

    and the results are different. [4/6]. For MMC, push

    out and fragmentation are two methods used often [6/

    10]. In the fragmentation test, both fiber strength and

    interfacial shear strength can be obtained [9/11].

    Clough [11] developed a model which can calculate the

    fiber strength in the fragmentation test. However, the

    calculated results are much smaller than that of the

    intrinsic strength of the fiber [11]. As a result a few

    papers still followed the way to do the experiments and

    released the data [12,13]. According to Clough way, it

    seems that the fibers were damaged in the fabrication

    process. However, some published data [6,7] did not

    agree with the results. The thermal exposure test of a

    SiC reinforced aluminum [6] indicated that the fiber

    strength did not reduce even at 6008

    C for 700 h. This isa problem which needs to be clarified. Further more,

    many research efforts have been aimed at the study of

    the interfacial shear strength via different fabrication

    technologies [5/7,14,15], little work has been done to

    examine the fatigue effects on the interfacial shear

    strength of fiber reinforced MMC [16,17]. Research

    showed that the interfacial shear friction stress between

    SiC fiber and titanium alloy matrix measured by the

    push out method decreased after fatigue loading [18].

    The reason was explained as (1) asperity wear of the

    SCS coating layer, and (2) relaxation of radial residual

    thermal stress in the matrix. There are two interesting

    questions: (1) whether this phenomenon will occur also

    in SiC reinforced aluminum matrix, (2) whether this

    phenomenon can be repeated by fragmentation test

    because there is no asperity wear effect in the test. This

    work is going to study these problems by fragmentation

    testing single fiber reinforced aluminum matrix model

    specimens.

    2. Experimental procedure

    The model specimens were prepared by vacuum hot

    press. The fiber is SiC with diameter 90 mm and provided

    by the Institute of Metals, Sinica Academy. The fiber is

    a pure SiC with no any surface treatment. The matrix is

    pure aluminum plate of thickness of 1 mm. The hot

    press process is conducted at temperature of 600 8C

    with constant pressure of 40 MPa for 2 h. The platespecimen was cut into a size of 5 mm in width, 1.8 mm in

    thickness and 20 mm in gage length. The tensile and

    fatigue tests were conducted in a computer controlled

    screw driving testing machine with capacity 10 kN. In

    order to study the effect of cyclic loading on interfacial

    strength, the fatigue test was performed using the

    pulsating method at a stress ratio of smin/smax0/0.

    The maximum stress is about 0.8 to /0.9 of the yield

    stress of the material. All force and displacement signals

    were recorded and processed by a computer. In this test

    the fiber will break during tensile process. There is a

    critical length of fiber, beyond it the fiber will not breakanymore. An important result is to obtain the critical

    length. So an acoustic emission detector AE-02 was used

    to monitor the fiber fracture during the tensile test [11].

    To obtain the number of fiber fractures after the tensile

    test, the fractured fibers were extracted out by dissol ving

    the matrix material in NaOH water solution. So the

    critical fiber length can be obtained. The critical length

    was obtained by a statistical result given by Kelly and

    Tyson [20]

    lc01

    0:75Lc (1)

    where lc is critical length, Lc is fragmentation length and

    can be obtained by an average of the fiber length in gage

    span divided by the number of the fractures.

    To examine the fiber strength calculated by Clough

    equation and measurement, the fiber was tested by

    gluing the fiber onto two steel plates at two sides of the

    fiber. The steel plates were clamped by grips of the

    testing machine. The stress and strain were recorded and

    process by a computer system.

    The fracture strength of the fiber can be calculated by

    the Clough equation in term of load drop and number of

    fractures [11].

    men, respectively. The interfacial shear strength can be

    Figs. 1 and 2 are a set of tensile and acoustic emissionsignal curves. Fig. 1 shows the result of virgin specimen

    and Fig. 2 is after ten cycles fatigue loading. In order to

    show the load drops during tensile test, the part of the

    curves with a number of load drop peaks has been

    magnified as in Figs. 1b and 2b. Each load drop is

    corresponding to the acoustic emission signal in Figs. 1c

    and 2c. The signals at the beginning of the acoustic

    emission are produced by tightening between the speci-

    men and grips, which are basically in the non-linear

    region at the initial part of the tensile curves of Figs. 1a

    and 2a. The fiber fracture usually occurs after the bulk

    yielding of the specimen and results in a load drop, yet

    the duration time and load drop magnitude are differ-

    ent. This fact indicates that more than one fracture

    could be involved in one load drop and this was

    confirmed by the extraction test. For instance, the

    specimen of Fig. 1 showed eight fractures according to

    the accounts of acoustic emission signal and load/time

    curve, however, the extraction test exhibited 13 times offracture. For the specimen in Fig. 2, the accounting

    number by acoustic emission and tensile curve was 10,

    however, the extraction result was 15. In order to make

    a precise measurement of the number of fractures and

    the critical length in this study, we are based on the

    counted using the extraction test.

    From Figs. 1 and 2, it is obvious that there is a great

    difference in dP/dt in the elastic regions for the speci-

    men before and after fatigue. Because the geometry of

    the specimen is the same, from Eq. (4) the stiffness will

    deviate according to the difference in dP/dt . The

    measurement of (dP/dt )max and the calculations ofstiffness are shown in Table 1.

    The values in Table 1 indicate that (dP/dt)max is the

    main factor in determination of k. The geometry of the

    specimen and the Youngs modulus in the second term

    of Eq. (4) would not change much, thus, one order

    magnitude difference in (dP/dt )max before and after

    fatigue will lead to the same order of difference in the

    calculated stiffness. Putting different stiffnesses in Eq.

    (2), the calculated fiber strengths are shown in Fig. 3.

    The remarkable difference in fiber strength is by no

    means due to the specimen being fatigued 10/100 cycles.

    The strength of the fibers should be determined by the

    manufacturing technology, the composite process andthe chemical reaction at the interface. It should not

    depend so strongly on the process of physical loading.

    4. Discussion

    4.1. Stiffness

    The stiffness k is a very important parameter and will

    affect the calculation of fiber strength sf with Eq. (2).

    Table 1 shows that the difference in k before and afterfatigue is great. This difference real does not come from

    machine stiffness while comes from slippage between

    specimens and grips of testing machine. Suppose the

    displacement between two crossheads could be written

    U0Um'Us'Uo (7)

    where Um is the displacement caused by machine such as

    elastic deformation of machine columns, gaps betweenthe screw threads. Us is the displacement caused by

    deformation of the specimen. Uo is the displacement

    arisen from slippage.

    deformation rate of the test machine and can be

    expressed by omLm and dUs/dt is the deformation rateof the specimen and can be expressed by osl: om and osare the strain rates of the test machine and specimen. Lmand l are the rod lengths of the columns between the

    crossheads of the test machine and the gage length of the

    specimen respectively. Then,

    fatigue loading, the specimens had been tighten and the

    slippage had been diminished. Clough [11] did not

    mention this effect in the stiffness measurement. How-

    ever, It had been recommended by international stan-

    dard IOS 2573 [24], that one should first apply and

    remove a force at least as great as the maximum load

    used in the determination of the compliance of the testsystem.

    4.2. Fiber strength

    The calculation of fiber strength using Eq. (1)

    indicates that there is a great difference using the

    stiffness measured before and after fatigue. The calcu-

    lated sf seem to be a reasonable, around 2300 MPa, if

    the stiffness before fatigue is used. Otherwise, sf is quite

    small, around 150 MPa, if we use the stiffness after the

    fatigue, which would be much approaching the correct

    stiffness, see Fig. 3. It is questionable if the fiber strengthis so low, how can it reinforce the matrix materials?

    Some published data showed similar magnitude values

    of fiber strength by using Clough model, paper [12]

    reported that sf0/494 MPa for fiber SiC, sf0/715 MPa

    for SiO/2 treated SiC, and sf0/567 MPa for carbon

    treated SiC. Paper [11] reported sf0/798 to /340 MPa

    for carbon treated SiC. All these strength values are

    around the strengths of aluminum alloys or medium

    carbon steels and there would have been a great loss of

    the fiber strength in comparison with the original

    strength, 3500 MPa [7,25], during hot press process. If

    so great a loss of the fiber strength is true, it would be

    impossible to use the fiber reinforced composites. In

    order to clarify this problem, several specimens which

    were subjected to the same hot press technology and

    fatigue pre-loading were dissolved in NaOH water

    solution. The fibers were taken out and the strengths

    were measured again. The result is shown in Fig. 4. In

    this figure, 1 presents as received state, 2 presents the hot

    pressed state and 3 presents the hot pressed and fatigued

    state. There is no substantial loss of the fiber strength

    after the hot pressing and fatigue pre-treatment.

    This result agrees with many published results

    [6,17,26] but disagrees with Cloughs [11,13] data. If

    we make a close look at Eq. (2), Clough adopted an

    assumption that the crosshead displacement was much

    smaller than that of the specimen in a load drop, that is

    vdt&/dus, see Appendix A in Ref. [11]. So vdt could be

    omitted. Since no data had been shown in his publica-tion to prove this assumption, we did the measurements

    in this test.

    In Table 2, six load drops have been measured for two

    specimens on the tensile curves. The sketch of this

    measurement is shown in Fig. 5. For one load drop, the

    starting point marked 1 and the end point 2, the

    displacement, x , time, t and load, p , at different sites

    can be obtained by computer acquisition. Because the

    velocity of the crosshead is a constant, the crosshead

    displacement can be obtained by vdt0/v (t2(/t1). Con-

    cerning the specimen displacement, for a tensile system,

    the displacement of the crosshead should be

    x0

    1

    km'

    1

    ks

    P (13)

    where km is the stiffness of the testing machine and ks is

    the stiffness of the specimen. Because the stiffness of test

    machine is a constant, when a fiber breaks, the stiffness

    of the specimen will be changed by Dks, then

    x2(x10

    This means the displacement between crosshead is

    mainly caused by fiber breaking and can be treated as

    the specimen displacement. Thus,

    Us0x2(x1 (15)

    The results in Table 2 indicate that the specimen

    displacements Us and the crosshead displacement are in

    the same order and no rule of vdt&/dus was exhibited.

    Even more, there are some values ofvdt larger than that

    of specimens. The measurements indicate that the

    presumption in Cloughs theory is not true.

    4.3. Interfacial shear stress and its changes with fatigue

    If the strength of the fibers does not change remark-ably after hot pressure, the critical length of the fibers

    can be obtained by dissolving aluminum after tensile

    test. The result is shown in Fig. 6. The critical length

    increases as the number of fatigue loads increase.

    Taking these results into Eq. (6), the interfacial shear

    strength can be calculated and the result is shown in Fig.

    7. Contrary to the change of the critical length, the

    interfacial strength decreases as the number of fatigue

    loading increases. The result is in agreement with a push

    out experiments of SiC fiber-reinforced titanium alloy

    [18].

    Guo and Kagawa [18] ascribed the effect of fatigue onthe interfacial shear strength to asperity wear and

    residual stress. In fragmentation test, there is no asperity

    wear influence. Concerning the residual stress effect,

    there is an experimental fitting equation [18]

    sTr (N)0sTr (0)exp((b

    T11N) (N5100) (16a)

    sTr (N)00:65sTr (0)exp((b

    T12N) (N]100) (16b)

    where sTr (0) is the initial residual thermal compressive

    stress of the composite and bT11 and bT12 are the numerical

    coefficients and larger than zero. This equation indicates

    that the residual stress will decrease with the increase of

    the number of fatigue loads. The initial radial thermal

    stress sTr (0) is approximately given by [26]

    sTr (0)0b1 gDT

    0

    (af(am)dT (17)

    and

    b10rEmEf

    Em(1( nf)' Ef(1' nm)(18)

    where Ef, Em, nf and nm are Youngs modulus and

    Poissons ratio of the fiber and matrix, respectively, afand am are thermal expansion coefficient of the fiber

    and the matrix in the radial direction, respectively, DT is

    the temperature difference over which the residualthermal stress develops in the composite, and r is an

    adjustment factor for the effect of fiber volume fraction.

    r is equal to unity for an infinite single composite and is

    less than unity in usual case [26]. Here, in calculation of

    sTr (0); the fiber volume fraction can be neglected and r/0/1 [18], the calculated sTr (0)/0/(/890 MPa. The con-

    stants used in the calculation are shown in Table 3.

    In the push out test, the interfacial shear frictional

    stress, t; is written as [18]

    t0(msr (srB0) (19)

    where m is friction coefficient and sr is the average

    compressive stress acting on perpendicular to the sliding

    interface. The friction coefficient m can be calculated by

    [18]

    m0P(0)

    2phRfsr(0)(20)

    where P(0) is the maximum load in push out test at

    initiation state, h is the thickness of the push out slice, Rfis the radius of the fiber and sr/(0) is the compressive

    stress perpendicular to the sliding interface. A push out

    test of SiC fiber reinforced aluminum composite was

    carried out by Yang [27] and the results were P(0)0/0.65

    N, h0/0.17 mm, Rf0/4.57 mm. Putting these values and

    the compressive stress calculated above into Eq. (20),

    the calculated friction coefficient m0/0.149, which is a

    little smaller than that of titanium alloy [18]. Then, from

    Eq. (19), the calculated the interfacial shear friction

    stress is 132.6 MPa. Comparing the values in Fig. 7 at

    pristine case, which is around 75 MPa, the agreement in

    the order of magnitude is reasonable. The differencemainly comes from two different measurement systems

    as mentioned at the beginning of the paper and in

    fabrication technology of samples making. The sample

    used by Yang [27] is made by casting while here is made

    by vacuum hot press of aluminum plates. Anther factor

    is that there is asperity wear effect in push out test. If

    putting Eq. (16a) into Eq. (19), we get

    ti0(msTr (0)exp((b

    T11N) (21)

    It is clear that the interfacial shear stress decrease with

    increasing of fatigue loading number. Thermal residual

    compression stress around the fiber decreases duringfatigue. This makes the interfacial shear strength

    decreases also. The Fig. 6 indicates that the fiber critical

    length increases with fatigue loading. This phenomenon

    related to the interfacial shear stress, from Eq. (5), when

    interfacial shear stress decreases, the critical length will

    increase.

    5. Conclusions

    When Cloughs model is used in the fragmentation

    test of single fiber reinforced specimen, the stiffness of

    the test machine will influence greatly the calculation of

    the fiber strength. There is significant slippage between

    the grips and plate specimen at the first tensile loading.

    One to two times pre-loading is required before the

    formal measurement of stiffness.

    By dissolving the matrix aluminum and testing the

    remaining SiC fiber, it is found that the fiber strength isnot changed after the hot pressure at 600 8C in vacuum

    furnace for 2 h. This fact against to the Cloughs data

    remarkably.

    The measurements of the displacements of the cross-

    head and the specimen during load drops on load vs

    time curves of tensile test did not prove the Cloughs

    assumption that the crosshead motion is much smaller

    than that of specimen during fiber breaking in the

    fragmentation test.

    After 10/100 cycles fatigue loading, the fiber critical

    length increases a little and the interfacial shear strength

    decreases with fatigue loading.That the interfacial shear stress of SiC fiber reinforced

    composite decrease with fatigue cyclic number is mainly

    due to the thermal residual stress between the fiber and

    the matrix, which decrease with fatigue cyclic loading.
