Abstract
In this study, the correlation between various hardness scales and tensile strength is explored for the 2080/SiCp composite. Focus is on the different reinforcement volume fraction, particle size, and matrix microstructure. It is shown that due to the different micromechanisms of deformation and damage, the hardness-strength correlation in discontinuously reinforced metal matrix composites is not as straightforward as what has been reported for conventional monolithic materials.
