Journal Article
Timely and atomic-resolved high-temperature mechanical investigation of ductile fracture and atomistic mechanisms of tungsten
2021
Overview
Revealing the atomistic mechanisms for the high-temperature mechanical behavior of materials is important for optimizing their properties for service at high-temperatures and their thermomechanical processing. However, due to materials microstructure’s dynamic recovery and the absence of available in situ techniques, the high-temperature deformation behavior and atomistic mechanisms of materials are difficult to evaluate. Here, we report the development of a microelectromechanical systems-based thermomechanical testing apparatus that enables mechanical testing at temperatures reaching 1556 K inside a transmission electron microscope for in situ investigation with atomic-resolution. With this unique technique, we first uncovered that tungsten fractures at 973 K in a ductile manner via a strain-induced multi-step body-centered cubic (BCC)-to-face-centered cubic (FCC) transformation and dislocation activities within the strain-induced FCC phase. Both events reduce the stress concentration at the crack tip and retard crack propagation. Our research provides an approach for timely and atomic-resolved high-temperature mechanical investigation of materials at high-temperatures.
High-temperature deformation of materials is challenging to evaluate. Here the authors develop a novel device that allows atomic resolved in situ high temperature mechanical tests inside a transmission electron microscope and reveal ductile fracture of a single crystal tungsten deformed at 973 K.
