Simulation results show that the crystallographic orientation of PFZ has significant influence on crack propagation, which includes the crack growth direction and crack growth velocity. The fracture strain of soft orientation is larger than that of hard orientation due to the role of reducing the stress intensity at grain boundary in intergranular brittle fracture. But in intergranular ductile fracture, the fracture strain of soft orientation may be smaller than that of hard orientation due to the roles of deformation localization.展开更多

The results show that PFZ is easy to form when aged at 190℃,but there is no equilibrium phase on grain boundaries.The growth of PFZ in the alloy is different from that in conventional AI-Li alloys, The effect of PFZ is of great importance because of its large volume fraction in the alloy.It offsets the beneficial effect of RSP,and is thought to be an important factor that leads to the poor toughness and low ductility of RSP AI-Li alloy sheet.展开更多

The results show that in the embrittled specimen, dislocations emitted from the crack tip can easily slip by cutting through the precipitates and move away from the crack tip region, so that a long DFZ forms and the brittle fracture occurs via cleavage cracks initiating and propagating. The size of DFZ mainly depends upon the diameter and the interparticle distance of the precipitates in the matrix. In the toughened specimens, the size of DFZ extremely changes with the interparticle distance. Mobile dislocations are emitted from the crack tip and bypassing the particles. The interaction between the dislocations and the particles results in the dislocation pile up and tangle, leading to diminishing of the DFZ. The crack tip is easy to blunt or chang the propagating direction and the crack propagation shows a jagged path.展开更多

The microstructure resulting from different heat treatment conditions has a great influence on hardness. The microstructure resulting from different heat treatment conditions has a great influence on hardness. Fine Ni Ti particles precipitate from the supersaturated V-matrix solid solution at 750 °C, increase in quantity until 800 °C, and then dissolve back into the V-matrix at 850 °C. The resultant hardness decreases with temperature until 800 °C, and then increases from 800 to 850 °C. The microstructure containing small Ni Ti precipitates resulting from the treatment of 18 h at800 °C has a good soft condition for workability. PFZ formed at the grain boundary of V-matrix during heat treatment was observed. Vacancies depletion in V-matrix maybe led to the formation of PFZ.展开更多
