Abstract
The consolidation process was discussed by using finite element analysis (FEA) in SCS–6SiC/Ti–6Al–4V composite fabricated by means of fiber coating method. With consolidation time and temperature changing, the effect of Ti–6Al–4V creep property on the matrix stress distribution was analyzed. The results indicated that the magnitude of matrix stress decreased remarkably and should be more close to the practical consolidation process when taking the effect of matrix creep property into account. In addition, the more time and the higher temperature the consolidation process took, the more obvious the effect of matrix creep property on the consolidation was. The selection of consolidation parameter such as time and temperature could be based on the simulation results.
