Identification of a soft matrix-hard inclusion material by indentation

[en] A new procedure for identifying the mechanical behavior of individual phases within a bi-material (matrix-particles) is presented. The case of AlSi10Mg (large globularized Si-rich particles surrounded by an α-Al phase) processed by additive manufacturing and post-treated is taken as a typical example. Grids of nano-indentation tests are performed at different locations on the nanocomposite using a Berkovich indenter and show an impact of the hard inclusions on the experimental curves. The elastoplastic properties of the matrix are identified based on the lowest load–indentation depth curves. Several representative finite element (FE) models demonstrate the influence of the particles on the nano-indentation response. The capacity of the FE model to predict the indentation curve of a cube corner indenter experiment and the Berkovich grid result scattering was checked. A representative volume element (RVE) based on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image is defined. The identified material parameters of the α-Al phase and Si phase, it allows the prediction of the stress-strain curve of a macroscopic experimental tensile test.
