As discussed in the lectures, toughness of composite is very much dependent on the nature of matrix, reinforcement, the bond between the matrix and reinforcing agent. In addition the way the cracks propagate through the composite is also important. The crack path is shown in the following two composites. Can you identify the composite which has higher toughness and why? mag spot det label HV WD HEW 18.00 KV 5.8 mm 9.95 um 30 000 x 40 BSED Zbigniew Pędzich, Ch 4: In Book-Tungsten Carbide - Processing and Applications Ed.
