In situ study on fracture behaviors of SiC/2A14Al composite joint: Co-construction of microstructure and mechanical properties via laser welding
2022, Composites Part B: EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Only small-scale in-situ fracture mechanics can study the fracture behavior of these micro-scale features [18–22]. Micromechanics also allows the analysis of special microstructure characteristics such as grain boundaries, phase boundaries, and multilayer microscale systems [23]. Rapid solidification processing (RSP) has previously been studied as a way to circumvent the necessity of thermo-mechanical homogenization processes [24].
Mechanical performance improvement of Al–Cu–Mg using various thermomechanical treatments
2022, Materials Science and Engineering: ACitation Excerpt :The following provides some speculation on this interaction given the experimental results. In the process of fatigue crack propagation, new deformation-induced ultrafine grains can be formed by dislocation rearrangement and annihilation in the deformation zone near the crack tip at high strain accumulations [46,47]. The grain boundaries of these deformation-induced grains have larger dislocation densities than those of the grain interiors.
Revealing the complex effects of particle bands on fatigue crack growth in an extruded aluminium matrix composite
2022, International Journal of FatigueCitation Excerpt :It is caused by the impingement of SB to GB and piling-up of dislocations, and thus the high density dislocations produced in the SB-GB interacted region. Significantly, the cyclic deformation-induced grains and/or subgrains with clear boundaries have formed near crack surface due to dynamic recovery and/or recrystallization, which is in accordance with the finding ahead of crack tip in our previous study [57]. These deformation-induced grains are aligned along SB direction and their longest axes are parallel to the shear direction or crack path.
Unprecedented enhancement in strength-plasticity synergy of (TiC+Al<inf>6</inf>MoTi+Mo)/Al cermet by multiple length-scale microstructure stimulated synergistic deformation
2021, Composites Part B: EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Li et al. [13] and Xiong et al. [14] revealed that nano-twin microstructure incorporated by plastic deformation could enhance resistance to interface cracking and strength-fracture toughness in steels. Furthermore, inspired by nature, metal-ceramic composites (MMCs), which are composed of “soft phase” and “hard phase” with “brick-and-mortar” microstructure, have infused new vigor into strength-plasticity synergy [15–19]. However, the significant difference in elastic and plastic deformation between “soft phase” and “hard phase” would trigger interface debonding [20,21], which is the main failure mode of such composites.
