Abstract

The tensile behaviors and fracture characteristics of laminated Ti-TiBw/Ti composites with two-scale hierarchical structures along different directions were investigated in detail. The laminated Ti-TiBw/Ti composites exhibited the highest tensile strength and fracture elongation along the longitudinal direction. Multi-necking and interfacial “intercrystalline-like” network fracture dominated the fracture behaviors along the transversal direction, which are attributed to the high strain (\( \mathop \varepsilon \nolimits_{\text{Ti}} \)), low strain hardening exponent (\( \mathop n\nolimits_{\text{Ti}} \)) of Ti layer, and obvious strain misfit at the interface, respectively. The longitudinal fracture characteristics of laminated Ti-TiBw/Ti composites reveals diffuse necking delaying, localized shear band transferring, tunnel cracks blunting, micro-cracks insensitivity, crack bifurcation and interfacial delamination absenting phenomena, which are beneficial to the toughening the laminated composites.
