Flow localization accompanying the intergranular fracture of Ni3A1

  • 1. Thayer School of Eng., Darmouth College, Hanover, NH

Description

The purpose of this note is to show that localized plastic flow accompanies intergranular fracture within the strongly ordered L12 aluminide Ni3A1. The work is part of a larger study on the brittle-to-ductile transition of this material, and was carried out to answer the question: Is the plastic strain which accompanies the propagation of cracks along grain boundaries greater than that which occurs throughout the bulk of the aggregate. The question is a qualitative one and is answered here by utilizing the qualitative aspects of the selected area channeling pattern (SACP) technique in scanning electron microscopy
