In this work, both AZ91D monolithic and AZ91D/SiCp composites prepared by squeeze casting followed by hot extrusion are tested under fully reversed strain-controlled loading conditions. The effects of SiCp volume fraction (i.e. V-f=0%, 5%, 15%, 25%, and 30%) and the imposed strain amplitude on the straincontrolled fatigue life and properties are examined. Increasing the SiCp, content degrades the straincontrolled fatigue properties in the low cycle regime, with a potential benefit in the high cycle regime. The relationship between elastic strain amplitude, plastic strain amplitude and reversals to failure are well described by the Basquin and Coffin-Manson equations, respectively. A comparison made between the monotonic and cyclic stress-strain curves reveals that the reinforcement amount as well as the imposed strain amplitude significantly affects the characteristics of the evolving hysteresis loops.
