The Brittle-to-Ductile Transition Behaviour in Fe-Al Single Crystalline Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

The morphology of deformation twinning, which influences a brittle fracture at low temperatures, was investigated in Fe-8mass%Al. Tensile tests were performed at 129K and room temperature. The specimen tested at room temperature showed yielding and kept deformed by usual slip while the specimen tested at 129K fractured in a brittle manner in an elastic regime with a number of straight markings due to deformation twinning. Detail analysis of those deformation twins suggests that the collision of deformation twinning is the initiation site of the brittle fracture.
