摘要
Zr73.5Nb9Cu7Ni1Al9.5 and Zr66.4Nb6.4Cu10.5Ni8.7Al8.0 composites of bcc beta-Zr(Nb) dendrites embedded in a nanocrystalline matrix were prepared by slow cooling from melt. The increase of Nb content from 6.4 to 9 at. % slightly reduces the strength, but considerably improves the plastic elongation under uniaxial compressive loading from epsilon(p)=0.6% to 14.8%. The interaction of strain with dendrites and the nanocrystalline matrix is suggested as origin of the improvement of the mechanical properties. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
