Ultrasonic spot welding of NiTi shape memory alloy with Cu interlayer was performed to understand the metallurgical joining mechanism at the materials' interface. Dynamic recrystallization of the Cu foil and high strain rate of the process induced a nano-scale transition layer composed of NiTiCu phase. The formation of this new phase occurs due to the frictional heating and shear deformation that is imposed by the ultrasonic vibration and contributes to the metallurgical bonding between the parent materials. Mechanical tension tests revealed that the joint with Cu interlayer presents enhanced strength. (C) 2019 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Microstructures in arc-welded Al10Co25Cr8Fe15Ni36Ti6 and Al10.87Co21.74Cr21.74Cu2.17Fe21.74Ni21.74 multi-principal element alloys: Comparison between experimental data and thermodynamic predictions

Jiajia Shen, Alexander C. Martin, Norbert Schell, Carolin Fink, J. P. Oliveira

Summary: This study evaluated the microstructure evolution in two arc-welded multi-principal element alloys using electron microscopy and high energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction coupled with thermodynamic calculations. By correlating microhardness maps with microstructure characterization, the strengthening phases in the welded materials were identified, aiding in fine tuning of the alloy microstructure for targeted strengths. A comparison between thermodynamically predicted microstructure and actual welded joints highlighted the difficulty of predictions in complex, scarcely studied multi-principal element systems.

Additive manufacturing of interstitial-strengthened high entropy alloy: Scanning strategy dependent anisotropic mechanical properties

Wei Zhang, Hui Wang, Bart J. Kooi, Yutao Pei

Summary: A non-equiatomic interstitial-strengthened high entropy alloy (iHEA), Fe49.5Mn30Co10Cr10C0.5 (at.%), is manufactured by laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) with stripe and chessboard scanning strategies. The relationship between laser scanning strategies and resulting microstructure, textures, and anisotropic mechanical properties in as-built iHEA is investigated. Results show that LPBF processed iHEA exhibits excellent strength-ductility synergy due to combined deformation mechanisms. The mechanical anisotropy is more evident in samples printed by the stripe scanning strategy compared to the chessboard-scanned samples, attributed to heterogeneous grain morphology and crystallographic texture resulting from different scanning strategies.

Effect of abrasive water jet peening on NaCl-induced hot corrosion behavior of Ti-6Al-4V

V. Chakkravarthy, J. P. Oliveira, Anisa Mahomed, Nan Yu, P. Manojkumar, M. Lakshmanan, Long Zhang, V. Raja, S. Jerome, T. Ram Prabhu, R. L. Narayan

Summary: Hot corrosion studies were conducted on pristine and abrasive water jet peened (AWJP) Ti-6Al-4V surfaces. Both surfaces developed oxide scales when coated with NaCl and exposed to 600 degrees C for 100 h, but the oxide scale on the AWJ peened surface had lower thickness and roughness. The hot corrosion rate on the pristine surface was 2.5 times higher compared to the AWJ peened surface. The improved hot corrosion resistance of the latter can be attributed to compressive residual stresses on the surface, which hinder chloride diffusion in the material.

Effects of Heat Input on Weld Microstructure and Properties in Keyhole TIG Welding of Invar 36 Alloy

Hongbing Liu, Shanhui Lv, Yang Xuan, Joao Pedro Oliveira, Norbert Schell, Jiajia Shen, Jingyu Deng, Yuhua Wang, Jin Yang

Summary: In this study, keyhole-tungsten inert gas (K-TIG) butt welding was used to join 10 mm thick Invar 36 alloy plates, and the effects of heat input on the microstructure, morphology, and mechanical properties were investigated. The results showed that regardless of the heat input, the material consisted solely of austenite, although the grain size changed significantly. The change in heat input also resulted in texture changes in the fusion zone, which were qualitatively determined using synchrotron radiation. Increases in heat input led to a decrease in the impact properties of the welded joints. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the joints was measured, demonstrating the suitability of the current process for aerospace applications.

Non-Destructive Testing Inspection for Metal Components Produced Using Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing

Douglas S. M. Serrati, Miguel A. Machado, J. P. Oliveira, Telmo G. Santos

Summary: The wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process combines the fusion and solidification of metal wire with electric arc to create and repair complex structures. However, the high number of depositions increases the likelihood of defects, and high temperatures and surface irregularity make inspection difficult. Recent studies have shown that non-destructive testing (NDT) based on different physical phenomena can significantly reduce the rejection rate, allowing for in-line repair and waste reduction.

On the co-nucleation of adjoining twin pairs at grain boundaries in hexagonal close-packed materials

Darshan Bamney, Laurent Capolungo

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.

Sharp/diffuse antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase transition regulated by atomic displacement ordering

Bing Han, Zhengqian Fu, Guoxiang Zhao, Xuefeng Chen, Genshui Wang, Fangfang Xu

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.

Relating the combinatorial materials chip mapping to the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses via diffraction peak width

Ze Liu, Cai Chen, Yuanxun Zhou, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

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.
