Microstructural Effects on Fracture and Fatigue of Advanced Refractory Metals and Composites

Abstract

The fracture and fatigue behavior of advanced refractory metals and silicide composites were investigated. Materials obtained from GE, Cabot, and WPAFB have been tested under both monotonic and cyclic conditions to measure the toughness and fatigue crack growth behavior. Comparison to some other refractory based systems is included.
