Abstract

We report deformation twinning in Cu within accumulative roll-bonded Cu-Nb nanolamellar composites. Twins appear connected to the Nb{112}//Cu{112} interface with the Kurdjumov-Sachs orientation relationship, which we show to be ordered and faceted. The interface adopts a different faceted structure after twinning. Our analysis suggests that deformation twinning involves facet dissociation and slip-transfer from the Nb layer to the Cu layer due to a geometrically favorable slip transmission pathway.
