INFLUENCE OF DIAMETER OF FIBERS OF SILICON CARBIDE ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THE METAL-MATRIX COMPOSITE (review)
The overview of the main core fibers of the silicon carbide used for reinforcing of titanium alloys provided in work. Results of the researches which are carried out by foreign scientists, in area are shown mechanical behavior of fibrous metal matrix composite, reinforced by fibers of different diameter, including mixed reinforcing. It is established that composite materials reinforced by fiber of smaller diameter have durability at bend more. It is in addition shown that at partial replacement of fibers of bigger diameter with fibers with smaller diameter mechanical properties of composite material increase. At further increase in fibers of smaller diameter of property of material also have increased.
