Deformation Behavior of Nanocrystalline Co-Cu Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2011
Abstract
Three kinds of nanocrystalline Co-Cu alloys: a nanocrystalline Co-Cu alloy with nanoscale lamellar structure, a supersaturated solid solution Co-Cu alloy and a nanocrystalline two-phase Co-Cu alloy were processed by electrodeposition, and their mechanical properties were investigated at room temperature. These nanocrystalline Co-Cu alloys showed the high hardness and the low activation volume. The mechanical properties of the nanocrystalline Co-Cu alloys strongly depended on the grain boundary characteristics. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed in the two-phase nanocrystalline Co-Cu alloy to investigate the dislocation emission at the Co/Cu interface. The MD simulations showed that the stacking faults, which are generated by the intense geometrical strain at the Co/Cu interface, play an important role in the dislocation emission.
