Rheological methods are proposed and on their basis methods 
for calculating strength and load characteristics of composite systems 
of the type "aluminum or its alloy (polymer)- oxide ceramics-chromium 
carbide" have been developed. The rheological behavior of systems 
under their local loading has been considered. The results of the 
comparison between the calculated and experimental results have confirmed 
the adequacy of the developed models and methods. Allowable specific 
contact pressures of composite systems have been established.
