In this paper, the effects of annealing and nanocrystallization on the mechanical properties of a Zr(55)Al(10)Ni(5)Cu(30) metallic glass have been studied. It has been shown that the high volume fractioned nanocrystals facilitate the formation of shear bands and thus decrease the yield stress. At the same time, the nanocrystals also facilitate the formation of interfacial voids during compression, resulting in substantial decrease in the plasticity of the metallic glass.

Microstructure evolution, martensite transformation and mechanical properties of heat treated Co-Cr-Mo-W alloys by selective laser melting

Zonglian Huang, Bo Wang, Fei Liu, Min Song, Song Ni, Shaojun Liu

Summary: The influence of laser energy density and heat treatment on the microstructure and properties of Co-Cr-Mo-W alloys fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) was investigated. The SLM-ed Co-Cr-Mo-W alloys displayed high strength and good ductility when the laser power, scanning speed, and scanning space were set as 160 W, 400 mm/s, and 0.07 mm, respectively. The heat treated alloys showed finely distributed precipitates ranging from nano-to macro-scale in Co-Cr alloys grains and/or along the grain boundaries. By tailoring the microstructure and morphology of SLM-ed alloys during heat treatment, Co-Cr-Mo-W alloys with an excellent combination of strength and ductility can be achieved. The tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation were 1221.38 +/- 10 MPa, 778.81 +/- 12 MPa, and 17.2 +/- 0.67%, respectively.

The effects of strain rate and strain on the deformation-induced grain refinement process and hardness evolution of a polycrystalline cobalt

Weijing Liu, Xinglong An, Wenting Jiang, Song Ni, Min Song

Summary: In this study, the effects of strain rate and strain on the microstructure and hardness of polycrystalline cobalt were investigated. It was found that high strain rate promoted the activation of various types of twinning and incomplete dynamic recrystallization during high-speed impact. Quasi-static compression mainly resulted in dislocation slip and the activation of specific twins. The high-speed compressed samples exhibited higher hardness values due to the higher density of twins produced during high-speed compression.

Unveiling different oxide scales in a compositionally complex polycrystalline CoNi-base superalloy

Longjun Li, Li Wang, Zhida Liang, Junyang He, Min Song

Summary: The formation of various types of oxide scales on the surface and along the grain boundaries of a complex CoNi-based superalloy was investigated at 900 degrees C. A complex multilayered oxide scale was formed under steady-state conditions (oxidation time up to 24 hours). After the breakdown of the steady-state oxide scale (oxidation for 48 hours), different types of oxide scales occurred. It was also observed that oxidation gradually extended into the specimen interior along the grain boundaries, caused by selective oxidation of elements due to differences in equilibrium oxygen partial pressures. Local microstructure and oxygen concentration were found to significantly influence the formation and configuration of the oxide scales in the investigated alloy.

Large-scale DFT calculations of multi-component glass systems (SiO2)0.70(Al2O3)0.13(XO)0.17 (X = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) : Accuracy of classical force fields

Atsushi Tanaka, Atsuki Saito, Takashi Murata, Ayako Nakata, Tsuyoshi Miyazaki

Summary: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for investigating the atomic-scale structures of complex materials, its reliable and accurate application to multi-component glass systems faces challenges due to limited force fields (FFs) and the complexity of chemical environments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of efficient and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations for multi-component glass systems. The evaluation of classical FFs based on the results of large-scale DFT calculations reveals low accuracy for non-bridging oxygen atoms, and differences in Si-O-Si angle distribution and electronic structure for X = Mg.
