Abstract

In this work, Ti/Al3Ti laminated composites were prepared by “explosive welding + heat treatment”. On this basis, the microstructure and the fracture failure process of the laminated composites were analyzed using SEM and the in situ tensile test. The results show that no pure aluminum remains in the laminate composites and the bonding interfaces of the laminate composites still exhibit wavy-like bonding. When the Ti/Al3Ti laminated composites are subjected to continuous horizontal stress, cracks appear in the brittle layers first, and cracks begin to appear in the ductile layers after all the brittle layers fail. And the cracks generated in the brittle Al3Ti layers are diverse, making the Al3Ti layers absorb more horizontal stress. Cracks in the ductile layers will constantly propagate and deflect, thus increasing the toughness of the material. Therefore, the fracture failure mechanism of Ti/Al3Ti laminated composites is the combined action of brittle Al3Ti layers and ductile Ti layers.
