Long description of figure 2

The stress-strain response of a titanium matrix composite at room temperature and 427 °C in comparison to Ti-6Al-4V alloy at 427 °C. The initial linear portion of the curves show that the composite response has a steeper slope. This reflects the greater stiffness of the composite material. The magnitude of stress where nonlinear behavior initiates, the yield point, is greater for the composite material.
