For this evaluation, an elastoplastic analysis was used to estimate critical COD values for single edge notched bending （SENB） specimens. The relationship between fracture toughness （Kic） and critical COD for SENB specimens was obtained. Microstructure of the interface between AleO3-TiO2 composite ceramic coatings and AISI 1045 steel substrates was studied by using scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Chemical compositions were clarified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. The results show that the interface between of Al203-TiO2 and substrate has mechanical combining. The nanohardness of the coatings can reach 1 200 GPa examined by nanoindentation. The Klc was calculated according to this relationship from critical COD. The bending process produces a significant relationship of COD independent of the axial force applied. Fractographic analysis was conducted to determine the crack length. From the physical analysis of nanoindentation curves, the elastic modulus of 1045/AI2O3-TiO2 is 180 GPa for the 50 μm film. The highest value of fracture toughness for 1045/A1203-TiO2-250 μm is 348 MPa·mv2.展开更多

Metastable phase Nb3Si plays an important role in the properties of Nb/Nb5Si3 composites by affecting the volume fraction of ductile phase. The addition of Mo affects on the microstructure of ductile phase and the stability of metastable phase Nb3Si. In this paper, Nb-10Si-xMo and Nb-18Si-xMo (x = 0, 5, and 15) alloys were prepared by arc melting and annealed at 1473 K for 100 h. Single edge-notched bending (SENB) test was used to study the fracture toughness of Nb-Si-Mo alloys. The room temperature fracture toughness of Nb-10Si is 10.48 MPa center dot m(1/2) and higher than that of binary Nb-18Si alloys at near-eutectic composites. The addition of 5 at.% Mo improved the fracture toughness of as-cast Nb-Si alloys from 4.1 MPa center dot m(1/2) to 9.99 MPa center dot m(1/2) at near-eutectic compositions and reduced it from 10.48 MPa center dot m(1/2) to 8.86 MPa center dot m(1/2) at hypoeutectic compositions.展开更多
