Title: Effect of grain orientation on ductility in a nanocrystalline Ni-Fe alloy

Journal Article · · Applied Physics Letters
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2968662· OSTI ID:960464

The influence of columnar grain geometry on mechanical property was studied in an electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni-Fe alloy. The compressive results show that the strength is independent of grain orientation. However, the plastic strain increased remarkably when the loading axis is parallel to the direction of grain columns, which is due to the enhanced grain boundary and dislocation activities. The significance of the current study is that a new strategy was developed to improve the ductility of nanocrystalline materials.
