The thermal expansion behaviour of silicon carbide
(SCS-2) fibre reinforced 6061 aluminium matrix composite subjected
to the influenced thermal mechanical cycling (TMC) process were
investigated. The thermal stress has important effect on the
longitudinal thermal expansion coefficient of the composites. The
present paper used experimental data of the thermal expansion
behaviour of a SiC/Al composite for temperatures up to 370°C, in
which their data was used for carrying out modelling of theoretical
predictions.
