Resistance-curve and fracture behavior of Ti–Al3Ti metallic–intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites
Source abstract
Abstract
The R-curve and fracture toughness behavior of single-edge notch beams of Ti–Al3Ti metallic–intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites has been investigated. Composites with 14, 20, and 35% volume fraction Ti, with a corresponding intermetallic layer thickness of ~540, ~440, and ~300 microns, respectively, were tested in crack arrester and crack divider orientations. In the arrester orientation, the R-curve could not be determined for the two highest Ti volume fraction compositions as the main crack could not be grown through the test samples. In the divider orientation, R-curves were determined for all three Ti volume fractions tested. The laminate composites were found to exhibit more than an order of magnitude improvement in fracture toughness over monolithic Al3Ti. Crack bridging and crack deflection by the Ti layers were primarily responsible for the large-scale bridging conditions leading to the R-curve behavior and enhanced fracture toughness. Estimates of steady-state toughness under small-scale bridging conditions were in close agreement with experimental results.
