| Tensile and fracture toughness experiments were conducted on rapidly solidified, powder metallurgy processed 8009 (Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si, wt%). 8009 has high intrinsic initiation (K;SEM fractography indicated a change in the microscopic fracture mechanism in 8009 with increasing temperature and decreasing loading rate. At 25;Micromechanical modelling accurately predicted the measured trends in K... |
