Effect of long-term thermal exposure at 600°C on the tensile properties of SiCf/Ti60 composites

Key Points

• Tensile properties of SiCf/Ti60 composites degrade after exposure to 600°C for extended periods, highlighting thermal effects.
• After long-term thermal exposure, results indicate a notable reduction in tensile strength and ductility of the composites.
• Analysis of mechanical performance reveals considerable changes due to prolonged thermal stress, impacting structural integrity.
• Findings support the need for improved material formulations to withstand high-temperature applications.
