Abstract

In this paper, the in-situ tensile behavior of Ti/Al laminated metal composites (LMCs) prepared via ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) was investigated by optical microscopy combined with digital image correlation. Compared with pure Ti foil and Al/Al LMCs processed via UAM, the Ti/Al LMCs exhibit a significantly larger plasticity with intermediate tensile strength. This can be attributed to (ⅰ) strain dispersion in Ti/Al LMCs, (ⅱ) necking inhibiting due to well-bonded interface during early stage of deformation, and (ⅲ) microcracking during late stage of deformation at the rough Ti/Al interfaces, which originate from direct contact between Ti foil and sonotrode.
