摘要: Cu–Al/Al nanostructured metallic multilayers with Al layer thickness hAl varying from 5 to 100 nm were prepared, and their mechanical properties deformation behaviors studied by nanoindentation testing. The results showed that the hardness increased drastically decreasing down about 20 nm, whereafter reached a plateau approaches of alloyed Cu–Al monolithic thin films. strain rate sensitivity (SRS, m), however, decreased monotonically reducing hAl. thickness-dependent strengthening mechanisms discussed, it was revealed nanolayers dominated at ≤ while crystalline > nm. plastic mainly related ductile nanolayers, which responsible for monotonic evolution SRS In addition, hAl-dependent quantitatively modeled in light different length scales.
