Title: Review: mechanical behavior of metal/ceramic interfaces in nanolayered composites—experiments and modeling

Abstract

In this study, recent experimental and modeling studies in nanolayered metal/ceramic composites are reviewed, with focus on the mechanical behaviors of metal/nitrides interfaces. The experimental and modeling studies of the slip systems in bulk TiN are reviewed first. Then, the experimental studies of interfaces, including co-deformation mechanism by micropillar compression tests, in situ TEM straining tests for the dynamic process of the co-deformation, thickness-dependent fracture behavior, and interrelationship among the interfacial bonding, microstructure, and mechanical response, are reviewed for the specific material systems of Al/TiN and Cu/TiN multilayers at nanoscale. The modeling studies reviewed cover first-principles density functional theory-based modeling, atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, and mesoscale modeling of nanolayered composites using discrete dislocation dynamics. The phase transformation between zinc-blende and wurtzite AlN phases in Al/AlN multilayers at nanoscale is also reviewed. Finally, a summary and perspective of possible research directions and challenges are given.

Novel shear mechanism in nanolayered composites

Journal Article Mara, Nathan ; Bhattacharyya, Dhriti ; Hirth, John P ; ... - Nature Materials

Recent studies have shown that two-phase nanocomposite materials with semicoherent interfaces exhibit enhanced strength, deformability, and radiation damage resistance. The remarkable behavior exhibited by these materials has been attributed to the atomistic structure of the bi-metal interface that results in interfaces with low shear strength and hence, strong barriers for slip transmission due to dislocation core spreading along the weak interfaces. In this work, the low interfacial shear strength of Cu/Nb nanoscale multilayers dictates a new mechanism for shear banding and strain softening during micropillar compression. Previous work investigating shear band formation in nanocrystalline materials has shown a connection betweenmore »« less

The roles of interfaces and other microstructural features in Cu/Nb nanolayers as revealed by in situ beam bending experiments inside an scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Journal Article Anwar Ali, Hashina Parveen ; Radchenko, Ihor ; Li, Nan ; ... - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Interfaces and their interactions with other microstructural features, such as grain boundaries or twin structures, have been widely viewed as parameters for designing metallic nanolayers. These interfaces could play a role in hindering cracks from propagating across the nanolayers while in operation. To date, many studies have focused on the roles of interfaces in affecting the plasticity mechanisms and thus the deformability of nanolayers. However, no studies have investigated on the subsequent mechanisms of fracture leading to the final failure. In this study, in situ microfracture bending tests inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were performed on the notched clampedmore »« less

Defect Interactions at Metal/Ceramic Interfaces in Thin Film Multilayers

Conference Misra, Amit

Summary of metal-ceramic multilayer deformation: (1) In nanolayered Al/TiN, Al layers grow in a twin orientation with the underlying TiN/Al layers favored by N-terminated TiN layers; (2) The shear strength of Al/TiN interface varies significantly depending on whether the interface is Ti or N terminated; (3) 2 nm Al - 2 TiN multilayers exhibit unusual mechanical properties as revealed by compression testing - (a) High maximum flow strength of 4.5 GPa, which is significantly higher than hardness (6 GPa) divided by a factor of 3, (b) Extraordinarily high strain hardening rates in Al nanolayers (16-35 GPa, {approx} E/2 to E/4),more »« less

Interface-Driven Plasticity in Metal–Ceramic Nanolayered Composites: Direct Validation of Multiscale Deformation Modeling via In Situ Indentation in TEM

Journal Article Mara, Nathan Allan ; Li, Nan ; Misra, Amit ; ... - JOM. Journal of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society

Here, we present in situ indentation in a transmission electron microscope on Al-TiN multilayers with individual layer thicknesses of 50 nm and 2.7 nm to explore the effect of length scales on the plastic co-deformability of a metal and a ceramic. At 50 nm, plasticity was confined to the Al layers with brittle fracture in the TiN layers. At 5 nm and below, cracking in TiN was suppressed with co-deformation evident in both layers. The in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) straining results demonstrate a profound size effect in enhancing plastic co-deformability in nanoscale metal-ceramic multilayers, as well as directmore »« less

Displacement Threshold Energy and Recovery in an Al-Ti Nanolayered System with Intrinsic Point Defect Partitioning

Journal Article Gerboth, Matthew D. ; Setyawan, Wahyu ; Henager, Charles H. - Computational Materials Science, 85:269-279

A method is established and validated using molecular dynamics (MD) to determine the displacement threshold energies as Ed in nanolayered, multilayered systems of dissimilar metals. The method is applied to specifically oriented nanolayered films of Al-Ti where the crystal structure and interface orientations are varied in atomic models and Ed is calculated. Methods for defect detection are developed and discussed based on prior research in the literature and based on specific crystallographic directions available in the nanolayered systems. These are compared and contrasted to similar calculations in corresponding bulk materials, including fcc Al, fcc Ti, hcp Al, and hcp Ti.more »« less
