Abstract

Kink banding is a common, though not well understood, failure mechanism in anisotropic materials such as nano metallic laminates (NMLs). In this work, we investigate the effect of annealing on kink band (KB) formation in Ag/Fe NMLs prepared by accumulative roll bonding (ARB) using in situ micropillar compression, scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM), and transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) analyses. Our results show that annealing increases the KB initiation strain, decreases the probability of KB formation, and decreases the load drop magnitude accompanying kink banding in Ag/Fe NMLs. Post-compression analyses reveal that annealing facilitates more uniform deformation of pillars and affects the formation of geometrically necessary grain boundaries (GNBs) near the kink band boundary (KBB). Compared to its as-rolled counterpart, annealed Ag/Fe has wider KBs with blunter KBBs.
