It should be noted that no dependence <strong>of</strong> the mechanism <strong>of</strong> the void initiation on the heat<br />
treatment condition is found for the PM MMC. In Fig. 4.11, it is seen that the broken SiC<br />
particles are observed on both halves <strong>of</strong> the broken Specimen SiC-10-200h (Fig. 4.11)<br />
(considered particles are marked <strong>and</strong> numbered). As well known, in MMCs reinforced by<br />
large ceramic particles, these particles are <strong>fracture</strong>d independently <strong>of</strong> the heat treatment<br />
conditions [2].<br />

To study the effect <strong>of</strong> the particle location with respect to the crack plane, the CODi- <strong>and</strong><br />
CODvi-values, the distance between crack tip <strong>and</strong> particle, r, <strong>and</strong> the angle <strong>of</strong> the particle<br />
