Data on mechanical properties of open-cell AlSi10Mg materials and open-cell AlSi10Mg-SiC composites with different pore sizes and strain rates

Abstract

This data article describes the stress-strain curves, energy absorption and energy absorption efficiency of open-cell AlSi10Mg materials and open-cell AlSi10Mg-SiC composites with different pore sizes and strain rates. The data were obtained by quasi-static compression loading up to 60% strain at strain rates of 0.01 and 0.001 s−1 according to ISO 13,314:2011 standard. The data can be used to compare the effects of pore size and strain rate on the compressive properties of the materials. The data are related to the research article entitled “Fabrication, Experimental Investigation and Prediction of Wear Behavior of Open-Cell AlSi10Mg-SiC Composite Materials” (Kolev, M., Drenchev, L., & Petkov, V. (2023). Fabrication, Experimental Investigation and Prediction of Wear Behavior of Open-Cell AlSi10Mg-SiC Composite Materials. Metals, 13(4), 814. MDPI AG.
