Abstract

An extensive multilaboratory testing program has been carried out to characterize the properties of commercially available discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) composites fabricated using powder metallurgy techniques. The results demonstrate that these materials can be evaluated reliably using standard techniques and highlight the consistent properties now available from these emerging materials.
