Abstract Scope |
We explore the effect of 3D interfaces containing chemical, crystallographic, and structural nanoscale heterogeneities in all spatial dimensions on mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms in Cu/Nb nanolaminates. In situ SEM/TEM pillar compression shows that 3D interfaces enable higher strength and increased deformability in 3D interface Cu/Nb (3D Cu/Nb) as compared to Cu/Nb with flat interfaces under multiple loading orientations. We experimentally demonstrate that an optimal combination of layer and 3D interface thickness maximizes strength (2500 MPa flow stress) and deformability (16% uniform plastic strain) in agreement with mesoscale simulation. This work establishes processing-microstructure-property relationships for 3D Cu/Nb that reveal design parameters for tailoring the mechanical behavior of nanostructured alloy through control of interface structure. |
