Abstract
A combined microstructure strengthening analysis was made to predict the yield strength of SiC p/Al metal matrix composites. The modified shear lag theory can be used to predict the yield strength of particlereinforced high strength aluminium composites, but the yield strength is underestimated for composites prepared from pure and cast aluminium matrices because the change of matrix microstructure after particle incorporation is not considered. The increased yield strength due to the change of matrix microstructure represents a large increment of the total increased yield strength of SiC particle-reinforced low strength aluminium composites. Several microstructure strengthening mechanisms are examined to evaluate their effects on the matrix yield strength. The result of the combined microstructure strengthening analysis is consistent with experimental results.
