Abstract

Mechanical properties of Al₃BC are still not sufficiently investigated yet for its synthesis difficulties. In this work, the mechanical properties of single-crystal Al₃BC were experimentally measured through nanoindentation and micropillar compression for the first time. The hardness, modulus and compression strength were measured to be 24 GPa, 332 GPa and 8.7 GPa, respectively. The high mechanical properties of Al₃BC are one prerequisite for it as the reinforcement of Al alloys. This work is expected to have a profound significance for the design and optimization of Al₃BC/Al composites.
