Abstract

The external structures of supersonic vehicles are exposed in several critical regions to temperatures that could reach 1000°C. This limit is higher than any safe operative service not only for titanium alloys but also for commercial nickel superalloys. The simplest way to improve titanium and nickel matrices temperature behavior (i.e: strength and fatigue resistance) is to introduce a strengthening phase in its matrix. These class of materials are known as: Metal Matrix Composites (MMC). It is possible reinforce both titanium and nickel superalloys by mean of high temperature resistant ceramic fibers.
