Scanning electron microscope images of (a) side surface, (b) shear deformation at phase boundary (phase boundary sliding), and (c) deflection of microcracks in Cu-Zr IM phase of Cu85Zr10Ti5, and of (d) side surface, (e) shear deformation at phase boundary, and (f) microcrack trapping in Cu-Zr IM phase of Cu85Zr10Al5. (g) large-scale shear deformation along phase boundaries (the long-range connection of phase boundary sliding).
