High Strain Rate Behaviour of Nano-quasicrystalline Al93Fe3Cr2Ti2 Alloy and Composites
In the present work, we demonstrate for the first time the outstanding dynamic mechanical properties of nano-quasicrystalline Al93Fe3Cr2Ti2 at.% alloy and composites. Unlike most crystalline aluminium-based alloys, this alloy and composites exhibit substantial strain rate sensitivity and retain much of their ductility at high rates of strain. This opens new pathways for use in safety-critical materials where impact resistance is required.
