- Abstract
- We demonstrate the ability to synergistically enhance strength and toughness in metals by tailoring the dominant plasticity mechanisms from impact-induced heterogeneous nanostructures. Using a laser-induced projectile impact testing apparatus, we impact initially dislocation-free single crystal microcubes at high velocities to induce grain size and dislocation density gradients. These gradient nanostructures exhibit heterogeneous deformation under subsequent quasi-static loading leading to enhanced strength and toughness. Transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) analyses show that the synergistic property improvement arises from the complimentary intragranular and intergranular plasticity mechanisms: the pro-nounced intragranular dislocation plasticity within coarse grained regions provides increased strain hardening and toughness while the nanograined regions with high dislocation densities provide high strength and supplemental toughness enhancement through cooperative grain rotation and grain boundary migration. These plasticity mechanisms are activated to different extents depending on the specific impact-induced nanostructures, which depend on the orientation of the single crystal upon impact. Controlled [100]-face, [110]-edge, and [111]-corner impact of single crystal microcubes, subsequent quasi-static mechanical testing, and pre-and post-compression nanostructural characterization provide a fundamental understanding of the comprehensive process-structure-property relations in heterogeneous nanostructured metals.
