Abstract:
Graphene nanoplates (GNPs)/TA15 composites were fabricated by pre-sintering and hot extrusion. During a room temperature tensile test, the dislocation was generated in grains. With increasing strain, the dislocation piled up along the interface between GNPs and Ti matrix, leading to stress concentration and microcracks. Then, the microcracks extended to GNPs or along the interface. The GNPs cracked under the shear force and the GNPs pulled out along with the crack propagation along the interface. This work provides a new sight in the room temperature tensile fracture behaviors.

To reduce the risk of such cracking, the concrete mix may incorporate low-heat cement and pozzolans to reduce the temperature rise. Pre-cooled angular aggregates and water-reducing admixtures...
