Reversed bending fatigue studies have been performed on boron-aluminium and carbon-aluminium fibre composites. The superior fatigue resistance of the boron composites arises partly from the use of an alloy matrix, but mainly from the more advanced development stage attained in the manufacture of the boron composite. (The carbon-aluminium composites contained many broken fibres and relatively weakly-bonded interfaces which provided easy paths for the propagation of fatigue cracks.)
