Critical microstructures and defects in heterostructured materials and their effects on mechanical properties
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Systematic study was conducted on the microstructures and mechanical properties of nickel samples with two distinct types of heterostructures. The first is featured with coarse-grained lamellae embedded in a matrix consisting of a very high density of dislocation structures. The second is featured with coarse-grained zones embedded in the ultrafine-grained matrix. The second type of heterostructures exhibits better strength and ductility, although it has a smaller average grain size than the first type. The zone boundaries in the second type of heterostructures are less prone to cracking than those in the first type. Intersecting micro-shear-bands formed net-like patterns in the second type of heterostructures during tensile deformation. This is the first ever observation of structural micro-shear-bands in a heterostructured material. It supports the claim that heterostructure promotes the formation of dispersive shear bands. In contrast, a macroscopic shear band formed and caused early failure of the sample with the first type of heterostructures. Our results indicate that well-developed ultrafine/nano grained matrix in heterostructured materials are necessary for preventing crack formation and shear band localization. This should be considered as a key factor for optimizing the mechanical properties of heterostructured materials.
