In situ Study of Internal Load Transfer in a Novel Metal/Ceramic Composite Exhibiting Lamellar Microstructure Using Energy Dispersive Synchrotron X‐ray Diffraction

Freeze casting offers a new technique to fabricate ceramic preforms for metal/ceramic composites. Internal load transfer under external compressive loading in such composites has been studied for the first time using energy dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The results show that load transfer takes place from the soft metallic alloy to the hard ceramic which has been explained in the light of generalized Hooke's law and classical laminate theory.
