Microstructural evolution of nanotwinned Al-Zr alloy with significant 9R phase
luminum (Al) alloys have a multitude of applications
notably in the automotive
aerospace and coating industries
yet they exhibit significantly lower mechanical strength than conventional steels. Nanotwins drastically improve mechanical strength while retaining ductility. However
the high SFE of Al largely prevents twinning. Here
we synthesize Al-Zr alloy films containing an abundance of incoherent twin boundaries and 9R phases. These alloys exhibit an extended solid solubility of Zr
retaining a columnar nanotwinned structure across all compositions. These films reach a hardness up to 4.2 GPa with 10 at% Zr and demonstrate the capacity for producing strong Al alloys with nanotwins.
