Abstract

Thermal residual stresses in Ti6Al4V alloy reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and sapphire alumina (Al2O3) fibres are estimated based on an elastic-viscoplastic micromechanics analysis. Effects of fibre volume fraction and different manufacturing procedures are considered and comparisons made with published experimental results for the SiC fibre composite. Stress components in the Ti-6-4/Al2O3 are generally less than half the corresponding values in the Ti-6-4/SiC composite.
