Abstract
Shear bands in metallic materials have been reported to be catastrophic because they normally lead to non-uniform plastic deformation.Ductility of laminated metallic composites deteriorates with increasing processing strain,particularly for those having hexagonal-close-packed(hcp)constituents due to inade-quate slip systems and consequently prominent shear banding.Here,we propose a design strategy that counterintuitively tolerates the bands with localized strains,i.e.the shear banded laminar(SBL)struc-ture,which promotes<c+a>dislocation activation in hcp metals and renders unprecedented strength-ductility combination in hcp-metal-based composites fabricated by accumulative roll bonding(ARB).The SBL structure is characterized with one soft hcp metal constrained by adjacent hard metal in which dis-locations have been accumulated near the bimetal interfaces.High-energy X-ray diffraction astonishingly reveals that more than 90%of dislocations are non-basal in Ti layers of the SBL Ti/Nb composite processed by eight ARB cycles.Moreover,<c+a>dislocations occupy a high fraction of~30%,promoting further<c+a>cross slip.The unique stress field tailored by both shear banding and heterophase interface-mediated de-formation accommodation triggers important<c+a>slip.This SBL design is of significance for developing hcp-based laminates and other heterostructured materials with high performances.
