While the majority of nanolaminate composites prepared using accumulative roll bonding (ARB) are comprised of immiscible phases (e.g., Cu-Nb, Cu-Fe, Ag-Fe, etc.), we have recently developed an ARB procedure that allows bulk nanolaminates to be created from reactive, intermetallic forming systems (Ti-Al and Fe-Al) that have a large negative heat of mixing.  Here we use micropillar compression tests coupled with electron microscopy techniques to assess flow strength anisotropy, deformation behavior, and interface shear strength of Ti-Al and Fe-Al nanolaminates.  Our results demonstrate that the interface shear strengths of these nanolaminates are significantly higher than those observed in immiscible systems (Fe-Cu and Fe-Ag), and that these strong interfaces impart both high strength (e.g. ~2 GPa for 50nm Fe-Al) and improved flow stability during compression parallel and perpendicular to the nanolamellar structure.   |
