Abstract

Residual microstructures associated with hypervelocity impact craters in 55vol.% TiB 2/2024Al composite were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). TiB 2-Al interface, TiB 2 particles and Al matrix before and after hypervelocity impact were compared to discuss the effect of hypervelocity impact. A new Al xO 1-x phase with the fcc structure and the crystal parameter of 0.69nm was formed at TiB 2-Al interface. Stacking fault with width of 10-20nm was formed along the (001) plane of TiB 2 particle. Formation of nanograins (~100nm) was observed within Al matrix, moreover, lamellar S' phase was transformed into lenticular or spherical S phase after hypervelocity impact.
