Abstract
The introduction of reinforcement in a Metal Matrix causes micro-stresses which may prove to be very detrimental for the life of the component. Submitting the components to annealing thermal treatments introduces thermal mismatch stresses. They are generated during cooling due to the difference between the thermal expansion coefficient of the two phases. Finite Element Analysis has been performed to study this effect and the results have been experimentally validated by X-ray diffraction, SEM investigation and EDAX on an AA2009 + 25% SiCp extruded shaft for helicopters, simplified as a thin extruded tube.
