Fiber-reinforced metal matrix composites have mechanical properties highly dependent on directions, possessing high strength and fatigue resistance in fiber longitudinal direction achieved by weak interface bonding. However, the disadvantage of weak interface combination is the reduction of transversal performances. In this article, tensile and fatigue properties of carbon fiber-reinforced 5056 aluminum alloy matrix (Cf/5056Al) composite under the condition of medium-strength interface combination are carried out. The fatigue damage mechanisms of Cf/5056Al composite under tension–tension and tension–compression loads are not the same, but the fatigue life curves are close, which may be the result of the medium-strength interface combination.

This paper deals with metal matrix composites (MMCs) of Al 7075 alloy containing different weight percentage (2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10) basalt short fiber reinforcement and unreinforced matrix alloy. The samples were produced by the permanent stir casting technique. The casting ingots were cut into blanks to be forged in single stage and double stage, using MN press and graphite-based lubricant. The microstructures and fatigue properties of the matrix alloy and MMC samples were investigated in the as cast state and in the single and double stage forging operations. The microstructure results showed that the forged sample had a uniform distribution of the basalt short fiber throughout the specimens. Evaluation of the fatigue properties showed that the forged samples had higher values than those of the as cast counterparts. After forging, the enhancement of the fatigue strength of the matrix alloy was so significant and high in the case of 2.5 and 5.0 wt. percentage basalt short fiber reinforced MMC, and there was no enhancement in 7.5 and 10 weight percentages short fiber reinforced MMCs. The fracture damage was mainly due to decohesion at the matrix-fiber interface.
