Abstract
- High interfacial particle-matrix strength and small size of sub-micron particles predominantly enhances fracture toughness.
- Crack blunting due to elongated coarse grains contributes predominantly towards improving fracture toughness.
- Crystallographic texture and sub-micron particle alignment do not play a major role in fracture toughness anisotropy.
- Higher flow stress is not the predominant reason for higher fracture toughness.
