Yd. Huang, Investigations of inhomogeneous deformation in Al-SiCw materials by transmission electron microscopy, MAT SCI E A, 311(1-2), 2001, pp. 174-179
The local deformation around whiskers was investigated by microstructural o
bservations and misorientation determination in Al-SiCw materials. A model
based on local lattice rotation was proposed to explain the formation of mi
sorientation. The experimental results are in good agreement with the sugge
sted model. The misorientation can be predicted by the Taylor and Bishop-Hi
ll models. The deformation zone is often asymmetric with respect to the axi
s of the whisker, which differs from that predicted from finite element cal
culations. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
