Macrostructure evolution of the composite layers was investigated by optical and scanning electron microscopes. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as well as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques were utilized for detailed microstructural investigations. Different finite element simulations were designed based on the experimental results. The results were combined with macrostructural observations to gain a better insight into the fragmentation mechanismof the Ti reinforcements. Necking of the Ti layers was observed after 3 cycles of ARB processing which was found to happen at shear bands, after sufficient work-hardening of the constituents. Further processing resulted in fragmentation and distribution of lens shaped Ti constituents. It was found that such a shape evolution makes it more difficult to deform the Ti segments by further straining and consequently, a more localized strain concentration happens within the Cu matrix near these segments. A significant grain refinement was observed by TEM investigation of the highly strained composite. ARB processing of Cu/ Ti bimetal composite resulted in nanostructured Ti reinforcements distributed within an ultrafine-grained Cu matrix. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
