Mechanical properties of bulk nanocrystalline aluminum-tungsten alloys
The Al-W alloy powders containing up to 4 at. pct W particles in a nanocrystalline Al matrix were synthesized by ball milling and then hot compacted (HC) at 573 K or cold compacted using high-pressure torsion (HPT). Hardness measurements were made to determine the effects on mechanical properties. Based on existing models, the hardening effect of W particles in HC samples was attributed to Orowan-particle strengthening. Composite-type strengthening due to large W particles appeared to be negligible. Both the compressive strain and shear strain in high pressure torsion added to the strengthening effects without producing a change in the grain size.

Abstract

The Al-W alloy powders containing up to 4 at. pct W particles in a nanocrystalline Al matrix were synthesized by ball milling and then hot compacted (HC) at 573 K or cold compacted using high-pressure torsion (HPT). Hardness measurements were made to determine the effects on mechanical properties. Based on existing models, the hardening effect of W particles in HC samples was attributed to Orowan-particle strengthening. Composite-type strengthening due to large W particles appeared to be negligible. Both the compressive strain and shear strain in high pressure torsion added to the strengthening effects without producing a change in the grain size.
