Abstract

Structural applications in space require materials with high density-specific stiffness and density-specific strength that can withstand harsh space conditions without degradation while allowing reduction of mass, (stowage) volume and cost. Metal matrix composites (MMC) can be of great use in these fields.
This paper presents the results attained in a national research project, where carbon fibre reinforced aluminium specimens with advanced layups and geometries were manufactured by gas pressure infiltration (GPI) and later mechanically and microstructurally analysed. These include L- and U-shaped profiles as well as round hollow tubes.
