Micromechanical tests were performed to understand the local fracture behavior and
adhesive strength of a fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composite (silicon carbide fiber …

The strength of the interface between iron (Fe) and individual spherical silica (SiO 2)
inclusions of 5±1 µm diameter is measured by means of in-situ micro-cantilever bending …

The properties of composite materials strongly depend on the bonding between the
reinforcement particles and the matrix phase. High strengths of the diamond/SiC interface …

Extremely reliable and wear‐resistant components are required for subsea pump
applications. For this purpose, materials and components were developed and qualified …

Silicon carbide (SiC)-diamond composites offer a combination of high hardness and fracture
toughness with improved processability via reaction bonding. However, the inclusion of high …
