Quick Reaction Evaluation of Materials and Processes. Delivery Order 0011: Engineering Properties, Fatigue, and Crack Growth Data on SCS-6/Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Matrix Composite (16 Ply) Panels

摘要

This report documents tension, compression, and shear properties as well as fatigue and crack growth data that were generated on titanium matrix composite panels manufactured using SCS-6 fiber as the reinforcement and Ti-6Al- 4V powder as the matrix. This testing effort evaluated 120 panels and the test matrix was designed so that a robust data base and B-basis design allowables could be generated. The design allowables will be generated by Materials Sciences Corporation (MSC) and will be published at a later date in the Composite Materials Handbook (CMH-17). The data in this report were generated from a total of 8 lots of panels in order to achieve a statistical basis in the static properties. A total of 314 tensile tests, 172 compression tests, 120 shear tests, 20 material property tests, 618 fatigue tests and 64 crack growth tests were performed throughout the course of the program.
