Abstract

Interpenetrating Al2O3/Al composites were created by liquid-metal infiltration of alumina preforms with three-dimensional periodicity produced by a robotic deposition method. Volume-averaged lattice strains in the alumina phase were measured by synchrotron x-ray diffraction at various uniaxial compression stresses up to 350 MPa. Load transfer, which is experimentally found to occur between the aluminum and the alumina phase, is in agreement with simple rule of mixtures models. Spatially resolved measurements showed variations in load transfer at different positions within the composite for the elastic-, plastic-, and damage-deformation regimes. Using phase-enhanced imaging, the extent of damage within the composites was observed.
