Abstract The reinforcement of metallic matrices with stronger, stiffer ceramic fibres is one approach which is currently being pursued in an effort to develop materials which will withstand the demanding conditions imposed by present-day engineering requirements. The gains in tensile strength which might be obtained by suitable combination of fibres and metal have been widely speculated upon [1] and, recently, experimental verification of some of these predictions has been obtained [2]. As yet, however, little attention has been directed towards assessing the limitations of such composite systems, isolating their causes and attempting to overcome them.
