Summary: The shape memory properties of the Cr20Mn20Fe20Co35Ni5 high-entropy alloy (HEA) were evaluated after annealing at different temperatures. The recovery strain was increased as the grain size increased, while the recovery stress was increased with smaller grain size. Grain refinement led to enhanced recovery stress but reduced recovery strain. The optimum amount of prestrain for recovery stress and strain was 6%.

Summary: This study systematically examines the effect of grain size on the shape memory properties of Fe-Mn-Si based alloys. It reveals that both the recovery strain and recovery stress are influenced by the grain size, with a linear relationship observed between recovery strain and log d (d: grain size). The densities of grain boundaries and annealing twin boundaries are also found to be related to the recovery strain. Additionally, the recovery stress behavior during heating and cooling varies depending on the grain size range.

Summary: The effects of annealing and prestraining on the martensitic transformation behavior and mechanical properties of NiTiNb alloy were investigated, and their correlations to the recovery stress were clarified. High recovery stress can be achieved by annealing above the recrystallization temperature while keeping the annealing temperature as low as possible to maintain high strength. Prestraining beyond the stress plateau but before yielding was found to be most effective for enhancing the recovery stress.

Summary: The study demonstrates that different combinations of recovery stress and recovery strain can be achieved by controlling grain size. The recovery stress and strains are also influenced by the accumulated plastic strain, with higher levels observed when the strain is small due to the training effect, and reduced levels when the strain is large from repeated cycles. Additionally, the higher recovery stress in the HRDSR-processed higher-carbon Fe-SMA compared to the present Fe-SMA is attributed to the smaller grain size caused by the presence of a higher density of carbides.

Summary: NiTi shape memory alloy products are increasingly popular, but traditional machining methods face limitations due to the unique characteristics of these alloys. Flood coolant and cryogenic LN2-assisted machining are used to improve machinability. The appearance of stress-induced martensitic phase during turning process affects machinability, with flood conditions showing lower tool wear and cutting force at 15 m/min, and cryogenic conditions achieving higher machinability at 125 m/min.

Summary: Submicron-sized quasicrystalline particles were achieved in an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy produced using traditional melting. These particles consist of an Al-Fe-Ni core and a Mg-Cu-Zn shell, randomly embedded in the Al matrix. The diffraction patterns reveal a decagonal core and an icosahedral shell with five-fold symmetry. The presence of Fe and Ni impurities is found to be crucial in the formation of this unusual ternary core-shell quasicrystalline particle, providing novel insights into the formation of quasicrystals in traditional industrial Al alloys.

Summary: NiTiNb alloys were fabricated through L-PBF with powder mixtures of prealloyed NiTi and elemental Nb powders. The addition of Nb significantly altered the dependence of MTTs on L-PBF process parameters. The net effect of Nb addition is to lower MTTs, while Ni evaporation has the opposite effect. In NiTiNb3 alloys, factors that promote and suppress MTTs are almost completely compensated, resulting in a rather stable MTT despite variations in L-PBF process parameters.

Summary: It is well known that a lower quench rate leads to the formation of precipitate free zones (PFZs) adjacent to grain boundaries in Al-Mg-Si alloys. However, the combined effect of PFZs and intragranular precipitates on the yield strength of these alloys is not well understood. In this study, an Al-Mg-Si alloy was quenched at different rates and the effects on microstructure and yield strength were investigated. It was found that wider PFZs had a significant impact on yield strength, accounting for over half of the strengthening effect of intragranular precipitates.

Summary: By utilizing laser-powder bed fusion with mixed powders of AlSi10Mg and FeCoCrNi, a dual-phase Si-containing Al0.4CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloy with approximately 13% body-centered cubic (BCC) phase content and good mechanical performance was prepared. The effect of aging treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. Direct aging led to the formation of nano sigma and face-centered cubic (FCC) phases within the BCC phase, while solution aging resulted in a sieve-like shape for the BCC phase with sigma phase embedded into the phase boundary. Direct aging rapidly improved strength but decreased plasticity, while solution aging improved strength while maintaining considerable plasticity.

Summary: Cast defects are common and hard to eliminate without deformation in cast alloys, degrading their mechanical properties. The addition of Sn was found to have a deleterious effect on Al-Si alloy's mechanical properties, forming amorphous Sn oxides near alumina film or enclosures. The high Sn content trapped in enclosures resulted in more shrinkage pores during solidification, leading to cracks along these pores and amorphous Sn oxides, deteriorating the mechanical properties. This study suggests not adding Sn to various cast Al alloys.

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

Summary: In this work, a physics-constrained neural network is used to predict grain-level responses in FCC material by incorporating crystal plasticity theory. The key feature, shear strain rate of slip system, is identified based on crystal plasticity and incorporated into the loss function as physical constitutive equations. The introduction of physics constraints accelerates the convergence of the neural network model and improves prediction accuracy, especially for small-scale datasets. Transfer learning is performed to capture complex in-plane deformation of crystals with any initial orientations, including cyclic loading and arbitrary non-monotonic loading.

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
