“…Generally, the RDF of the crystalline structure displays the sharp peaks, while it shows a split in the second peak and subsequent flat peaks for the amorphous alloy. [45] The RDFs in Fig. 1 indicate that the crystalline Ti and amorphous TiCu alloy are established well in the present work.…”

Crystalline/amorphous nanolaminate is an effective strategy to improve the mechanical properties of metallic materials, but the underlying deformation mechanism is still under the way of exploring. Here, the mechanical properties and plastic deformation mechanism of Ti/TiCu dual-phase nanolaminates (DPNLs) with different layer thickness are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The results indicate that the influence of the layer thickness on the plastic deformation mechanism in crystalline layer is negligible, while it affects the plastic deformation mechanism of amorphous layers distinctly. The crystallization of amorphous TiCu is exhibited in amorphous parts of the Ti/TiCu DPNLs, which is inversely proportional to the layer thickness. It is observed that the crystallization of the amorphous TiCu is a process driven by stress and heat. The Young’s modulus for the Ti/TiCu DPNLs are higher than that of composite material due to the amorphous/crystalline interfaces. Furthermore, the main plastic deformation mechanism in crystalline part: grain reorientation, transformation from hexagonal-close-packed-Ti to face-centered cubic-Ti and body-centered cubic-Ti, has also been displayed in present work. The results may provide a guideline for the design of high-performance Ti and its alloy.
