To evaluate the fatigue behaviors of AZ61 magnesium alloy with different weight percentages (0, 1 and 2) of silicon carbide particles (SiCp) were fabricated through gravity casting method. In addition, stress-controlled low-cycle fatigue test of SiCp reinforced magnesium alloys AZ61 were performed in ambient atmosphere at room temperature using ASTM 606 standard specimens. Fatigue measurement results proved, that the fatigue life of SiCp reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) decreased with increasing SiCp content. However, the results of the cyclic ductility decreased owing to the presence of significant amount of SiCp, which induces the brittleness of fatigue properties. This is probably occurring because of increasing the SiCp content in the matrix causes highly localized plastic strain. In addition, a high concentration of stress results around the reinforcements particles regions initiate the crack leading to rapid failure of MMCs. Therefore, the SiCp did not act as a stress reliever and it behaves in a brittle manner for the crack propagation through the particles.

Abstract A narrow circumferential helium quench was used to thermally shock and fatigue internally heated alumina, reaction bonded, and sintered alpha silicon carbide tubes at 500°C and 1000°C. During these tests, transient temperature measurements required for thermal and stress-profile calculations were obtained through the use of micro-thermocouples positioned along the internal surface of the tubes. Acoustic emissions were also employed for in situ monitoring of crack initiation and propagation of the resident flaw populations during the single and repeated (up to 5) thermal shocks. Post-quench inspections and destructive burst tests were used to correlate the existence, extent, and statistical (Weibull) nature of the damage induced by the cycling. Results indicated progressive strength degradation in alumina tubes with repeated thermal cycles. In contrast, the thermally-cycled silicon carbide samples either showed no damage at all, or suffered minimal progressive strength degradation after the first cycle. In any case, the complex stress distributions computed from an FEA-based inverse heat transfer analysis were required to understand the observed damage (crack paths) and apparent fatigue behavior.
