Abstract:

A study was conducted to 1 produce a variety of nonferrous cellular and composite materials 2 subject certain composite materials to swaging, forging, and extrusion 3 determine certain physical and mechanical properties of these materials and 4 predict the characteristics of untried composite systems from these properties. This study was exploratory in nature and involved, for the most part, simple combinations of pure metals. The properties of the component phases of the systems studied were determined in the cellular and solid form. The properties of the cast composites showed that, where the difference between the strength of the com ponent phases was not excessive the stronger phase being no more than four times stronger than the weaker, the properties of the composite system could be predicted on the basis of a knowledge of the characteristics of the component phases.
