Abstract

In this work, the dynamic behavior of nanostructured Cu-11.14% Al alloy with face-centered cubic (FCC) structure has been investigated using split Hopkinson pressure bar. At high strain rate uniaxial compression (strain rate ~ 4 × 103 s-1), a sharp stress collapse was observed in the plastic regime of the specimens. Post-loading examinations verified the appearance of adiabatic shear band (ASB), which has rarely been observed in FCC metals under uniaxial loading. Adiabatic heating within the ASBs has led to recrystallization, resulting in remarkably refined and defect-free nanocrystalline grains. The occurrence of ASBs in such an FCC alloy can be explained based on established mechanistic models.
