Abstract
In Ti–Al laminated composites, cracks nucleate preferentially at the Al3Ti layer, but the inhibitory effect of Al3Ti on crack extension is ignored. Interestingly, by combining experiment and phase-field crystal simulation, we found that the micrometer Al3Ti particles in the diffusion layer play the role of crack deflection and passivation, which is attributed to the lattice distortion induced by Al3Ti consumes the energy of the crack in extension. In addition, it is found that the growth process of Al3Ti is divided into two stages: nucleation stage and growth stage. Compared with the growth stage, the Al3Ti grains in the nucleation stage are finer in the growth layer. Finer grains show better crack deflection and avoid stress concentration.
