AbstractThe effects of stress state on the fracture behavior of Ni3Al, Ni3Al + B, and NiAl were determined using either notched, or fatigue-precracked bend bars tested to failure at room temperature, in addition to testing specimens in tension under superposed hydrostatic pressure. Although Ni3AI is observed to fail in a macroscopically brittle intergranular manner in tension tests conducted at room temperature, the fracture toughnesses (i.e. K IC presently obtained on Ni3Al exceeded 20 MPa1m and R-curve behavior was exhibited. In-situ monitoring of the fracture experiments was utilized to aid in interpreting the source(s) of the high toughness in Ni3Al, while SEM fractography was utilized to determine the operative fracture modes. The superposition of hydrostatic pressure during tensile testing of NiAl specimens was observed to produce increased ductility without changing the fracture mode.

Nb-base in-situ composites, which have the base composition of Nb-18Si-5Mo-5Hf, have been investigated in microstructure, hardness (Hv*), Young’s modulus (E), tensile properties and fracture behavior. The microstructures of all composites examined consist of NbSS matrix and Nb5Si3 secondary phases. No secondary phase such as Nb2C appeared. The crystal structure of Nb5Si3 is Mn5Si3-type when C replaces 2mol%-Nb, though typical structures of a (Cr5B3-type) and b (W5Si3-type) as in the base composition when W replaces. W addition is effective in increasing Hv* and E of both phases as expected. However, C alloying is somewhat beneficial only in Nb5Si3 with a noticeable negative effect in NbSS. Furthermore, the composite exhibits the highest strength at 1473 K, while the base composite exhibits the highest at room temperature. The fracture behavior is independent of the compositions and it is controlled by cleavage fractures of Nb5Si3, decohesion of NbSS/Nb5Si3 interface and ductile rupture of NbSS depending on the testing temperatures.

ABSTRACTThe compression and decompression behaviors of graphite oxide have been investigated using in situ Raman measurements in a diamond-anvil cell at room temperature. The so-called G band (in-plane E2g mode ∼1600 cm-1) was followed to 49 GPa during compression and back to ambient under decompression. The Raman frequency of the G band increases sublinearly with increasing hydrostatic pressure, eventually nearly flattening out at the highest pressure measured. This trend is reversed upon decompression, fully recovering to the ambient spectrum. The increased broadening suggests a reversible disordering of the structure without significant sp2-sp3 rehybridization under pressure.
