We report on significant asymmetry phenomena, including failure mode, fracture strength, and plasticity under compression and tension, for Zr- and Ti-based composites containing ductile dendrites. The failure of the Zr-based composite always occurs in a shear mode with a small strength asymmetry and different plasticity under tension and compression. In contrast, the Ti-based composite exhibits a significant high strength asymmetry and zero tensile plasticity although its compressive plasticity is high. We propose that the ratio, alpha = tau(o)/sigma(o) (tau(o) and sigma(o) are the intrinsic shear and cleavage strengths), is a substantial parameter controlling the strength asymmetry and the failure mode of various materials.
