Title
Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Fiber Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 1996
Scope:
This test method covers the determination of the tensile
properties of metal matrix composites reinforced by continuous and
discontinuous high-modulus fibers. Nontraditional metal matrix
composites as stated in 1.1.6 also are covered in this test method.
This test method applies to specimens loaded in a uniaxial manner
tested in laboratory air at either room temperature or elevated
temperatures. The types of metal matrix composites covered are:
Unidirectional—Any fiber-reinforced composite with all
fibers aligned in a single direction. Continuous or discontinuous
reinforcing fibers, longitudinal and transverse properties.
0°/90° Balanced Crossply—A laminate composed of only 0
and 90° plies. This is not necessarily symmetric, continuous, or
discontinuous reinforcing fibers.
Angleply Laminate—Any balanced laminate consisting of ±
theta plies where theta is an acute angle with respect to a
reference direction. Continuous reinforcing fibers without 0°
reinforcing fibers (that is, (±45)ns, (±30)ns, and so forth).
Quasi-Isotropic Laminate—A balanced and symmetric
laminate for which a constitutive property of interest, at a given
point, displays isotropic behavior in the plane of the laminate.
Continuous reinforcing fibers with 0° reinforcing fibers (that is,
(0/±45/90)s, (0/±30)s, and so forth).
Unoriented and Random Discontinuous Fibers.
Directionally Solidified Eutectic Composites.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for
information purposes only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
