In situ X-ray observation of semi-solid deformation and failure in Al–Cu alloys
Abstract
Semi-solid deformation has been directly observed in an Al–12 wt.% Cu alloy through the combination of real-time synchrotron X-ray radiography and a bespoke high-temperature tensile tester over a range of fraction solid from 0.35 to 0.98. During deformation at low and moderate fraction solids, the X-ray radiographs indicate that there is significant feeding of interdendritic liquid in the region of strain localization prior to crack formation. …
