Tensile Properties of Electrodeposited Nanocrystalline FCC Metals

Bulk nanocrystalline Ni and Ni-15wt%Fe alloy were fabricated via electrodeposition techniques. The nominal grain size of nickel samples was varied from 15 to 200 nm by employing different deposition parameters. The grain size was further reduced to 9 nm by alloying nickel with iron. The tensile properties were evaluated at room temperature using dog-bone shaped samples. The results of this study confirm that strength and strain hardening rate increase with decreasing grain size. The fracture behavior was found to depend on the grain size, presence of large and small defects, and the stress state. The tensile elongation and reduction in area varied significantly among the samples and did not correlate with the fracture behavior. Three categories of behavior were identified. In Type I the samples showed completely ductile fracture but very low tensile elongation. In Type II the samples showed a relatively brittle behavior but impressive tensile elongation. In Type III the samples showed ductile behavior with reasonable tensile elongation. In this article, the tensile elongation and the fracture mode of nanocrystalline face centered cubic (FCC) metals are discussed in terms of deformation behavior and presence of defects.
