“…Using the same test methods, Preuss et al [17] obtained s fric = 200 MPa for the SCS-6/3M system, while others have recorded 140 MPa [40], 160 MPa [6,41,42], 180 MPa [10,43], for the SCS-6 fibre in Ti-6Al-4V. These correlations are very reasonable when considered in the context of the wide-ranging values produced in recent years in other studies on Ti/SiC composites.…”
