Simultaneously increased strength and ductility via the hierarchically heterogeneous structure of Al-Mg-Si alloys/nanocomposite
BSTRACTThe increase in strength usually accompanies with ductility loss in structural materials. We proposed a novel approach to the design and fabrication of hierarchically structured Al-Mg-Si alloys/nanocomposites with improved strength and ductility. The layered distribution of TiC nanoparticles (TiC
p
)
bimodal-sized grains and precipitates were produced in a laminated composite composed of Al-Mg-Si matrix alloy and TiC
p
/Al-Mg-Si composite by accumulative roll bonding (ARB)
increasing yield strength from 380 MPa to 443 MPa with a uniform elongation from 5.0% to 6.4%
compared to the ARB TiC
p
/Al-Mg-Si composite. This work provides a new strategy for producing high strength composite sheets for industrial applications.
