Table 4.3. Mechanical <strong>properties</strong> <strong>of</strong> the PM-MMC Al6061-10%SiC determined by<br />

compression tests.<br />

It should be noted that tensile tests were performed, as well. In Figure 4.7, the true stress-<br />

strain curves for Specimen SiC-10-15min determined by compression <strong>and</strong> tensile tests are<br />

given. It is seen that these curves coincides. But since the tensile specimen fails at very low<br />

<strong>fracture</strong> strain, the N- <strong>and</strong> α-values cannot be determined from the tensile true stress-strain<br />

curve.<br />
