Abstract
The compression properties of the aluminum alloy 2024 metal matrix composites reinforced with 50 vol.% SiC particles were investigated using Instron testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) in this paper. The compression stress–strain curves were obtained at the strain rates ranging from 1 × 10− 3 to 2.5 × 103/s. The fracture surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that SiCp/2024 Al composites exhibited high strain-rate sensitivity. The strength of composites tended to increase–decrease with increasing of strain rates. The effect of the strain rate on elongation was also discussed.
