An X-ray diffraction study on dislocation microstructure of as-prepared Al-Al2O3 composites

Microstructure of alpha-Al2O3 containing Al-based composites were studied in terms of ab initio quasi-composite model of dislocation cell structure and ellipsoidal log-normal distribution of crystallite size alpha-Al2O3, present in the composites, affects dislocation motion during stress relaxation...

More Information
Summary:Microstructure of alpha-Al2O3 containing Al-based composites were studied in terms of ab initio quasi-composite model of dislocation cell structure and ellipsoidal log-normal distribution of crystallite size alpha-Al2O3, present in the composites, affects dislocation motion during stress relaxation at room temperature and may produce such a dislocation sub- structure. The region of high (about 8 x 10 exp 9/sq cm) and low (about 2 x 10 exp 9/sq cm) dislocation density has been characterized as cell walls and cell interiors, respectively, with compressive and tensile stresses, respectively, in accordance with the quasi-composite model. The results are in gross agreement with TEM studies.
