The study investigated the effects of pretwins on the flow behavior, microstructure, and texture evolution of a rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy during hot deformation. It was found that pretwins influenced texture reorientation and dynamic recrystallization, leading to changes in flow behavior and microstructure along different directions.
In this work, the effects of pretwins on the flow behavior, microstructure, and texture evolution of a rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy during hot deformation along three different orthogonal directions were studied via compression tests conducted at 25-350 degrees C. The flow behavior along different directions was discussed based on the operation of different deformation mechanisms in twinned and untwinned regions. Detwinning was the dominant deformation mechanism during compression in the normal direction at low temperatures, but ceased as the temperature increased to 250 degrees C. In the latter condition, the effect of pretwins on the texture reorientation led to a decrease in the yield strength. Pretwins stimulate the microstructure condition preceding dynamic recrystallization (DRX) during the compression of samples along the rolling and transverse directions, leading to lower peak strains. The results showed that the pretwins increased the grain size and fraction of DRX at 250 degrees C. The greatest increase in the DRX fraction was obtained for deformation parallel to the normal direction. The effect of pretwins on the grain boundary characteristics of the samples deformed along the normal direction was investigated. The pretwinned samples showed more significant texture rotation for dynamically recrystallized grains compared with parent grains during deformation parallel to the normal direction.

Effect of impact loading and heat treatment on microstructure and properties of multi-layered AZ31/AA1050 plates fabricated by single-shot explosive welding

Henryk Paul, Pawel Petrzak, Robert Chulist, Lukasz Maj, Izabela Mania, Mariusz Prazmowski

Summary: Eleven-layered AZ31/AA1050 composite plates were fabricated using explosive welding. The microstructural evolution of the interfacial layers and its correlation with mechanical properties were investigated. It was found that local melting and rapid solidification resulted in the formation of reaction regions with different phases and structures. The high-hardness phases grew rapidly during annealing, and pre-existing reaction regions transformed into a specific phase. Applying pressure prevented clad delamination but not the formation of linear cracks in a specific phase.

S. M. Fatemi, S. Kheyrabadi, H. Paul

Summary: The deformation behavior and microstructural evolutions of a rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy with and without pre-existing extension twins were studied. The initial texture was found to not only influence the evolution of flow stress, but also change the size and fraction of recrystallized grains. Pre-existing twins were found to reduce the anisotropy of the material.

Flow softening, twinning and dynamic evolution of second phase particles in a rolled Mg-Y-Nd-Zr alloy under shear deformation mode

S. M. Fatemi, Y. Moradipour, R. Chulist, H. Paul

Summary: Shear punch deformation was used to investigate the shear deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of a Mg-Y-Nd-Zr alloy at various temperatures. It was found that metastable phases may precipitate dynamically during deformation, and flow softening behavior was observed at different temperatures. The deformation mode promoted extension twinning, and twinning was observed even at high temperatures. Dynamic recrystallization occurred at 450 and 500 degrees C, with progressive lattice rotation as the mechanism. Shear flow stress was successfully modeled using constitutive equations. The rate-controlling mechanisms were determined to be dislocation glide controlled by rare earth diffusion at 25-400 degrees C and grain boundary sliding controlled by lattice diffusion at 450-500 degrees C.

Fatigue life and cyclic creep of tantalum/copper/steel layerwise plates under tension loading at room temperature

Szymon Derda, Aleksander Karolczuk, Mariusz Prazmowski, Andrzej Kurek, Marcin Wachowski, Henryk Paul

Summary: The unique properties of tantalum make it highly desirable in demanding industries. Its limited availability necessitates efficient use. High efficiency can be achieved by producing layerwise heterostructured plates with a tantalum layer. This study investigates the fatigue behavior of an explosively manufactured composite with an outer tantalum layer under cyclic loading. Microcracks along the slip lines in the tantalum layer are identified as the initial damage mechanisms leading to cyclic creep. The composite plates exhibit superior fatigue strength compared to homogeneous tantalum plates.

Microstructure, texture, and instability during superplastic deformation of ECAP-treated AZ31 Mg alloy

S. M. Fatemi, H. Paul, A. Hemmati-Hosuri

Summary: An ultrafine-grained AZ31 Mg alloy processed through multipass equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) achieved mean grain sizes of 5 and 0.9 μm after two and four passes, respectively. Tensile testing at high temperatures revealed that the four-pass-processed alloy exhibited a superplastic elongation of 410% at 250 degrees C. The deformation behavior was studied using the Haehner criterion, showing that grain boundary sliding was the rate-controlling mechanism with a strain rate sensitivity of 0.38. The contribution of slip system to superplasticity was discussed using Schmid factors, which showed that slip activity prevalence at high strains induced texture-strengthening effect and low-angle grain boundary formation.

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION AND PROPERTIES OF Al/Fe MULTI-LAYER COMPOSITES PRODUCED BY HOT PRESSING

W. Kowalski, H. Paul, I. Mania, P. Petrzak, P. Czaja, R. Chulist, A. Goral, M. Szlezynger

Summary: This study aimed to develop Fe/Al multilayered metallic/intermetallic composites produced by hot pressing under an air atmosphere. Analyses were carried out on the composite plates made up of alternatively situated sheets of AA1050 aluminum alloy and DN04 low carbon steel, which were annealed at 903 K for 2, 5, and 10 h. The samples were examined using X-Ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-Ray spectrometer. To correlate the structural changes with mechanical properties, microhardness measurements in near-the-interface layers were performed. All the reaction layers grew with parabolic kinetics with ii-Al5Fe2 intermetallic phase as the dominant component. After annealing for 5 and 10 hours, a thin sublayer of Theta-Al13Fe4 phase was also detected.

CRYSTAL LATTICE ROTATIONS INDUCED BY SHEAR BANDING IN FCC METALS DEFORMED AT HIGH STRAIN RATES

I. Mania, H. Paul, R. Chulist, P. Petrzak, M. Miszczyk, M. Prazmowski

Summary: In this study, the authors investigated the microstructural and texture changes in CuZn30 alloy, copper, and AA1050 aluminium alloy to understand the crystal lattice rotation during shear band formation. The hat-shaped specimens were deformed at a strain rate of 560 s(-1) using a drop-hammer. The results showed a gradual shear banding process with nucleation and successive growth, rather than a sudden instability. Regardless of the initial grain orientation, a clear tendency of crystal lattice rotation was observed, leading to the formation of specific texture components. The rotation mechanism allowed slip propagation without changing the shear direction.

Ren-Ni Luan, Na Xu, Chao-Ran Li, Zhi-Jie Zhang, Yu-Sheng Zhang, Jun Nan, Shu-Tao Wang, Yong-Ming Chai, Bin Dong

Summary: Extensive research has revealed that oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline conditions involves dynamic surface restructuring. The development and design of sulfide/oxide pre-catalysts can reasonably adjust the composition and structure after surface reconstruction, which is crucial for OER. This study utilized a simple two-step hydrothermal method to achieve in situ S leaching and doping, inducing the composition change and structure reconstruction of CoFe oxides. The transformed FeOOH and CoOOH exhibited excellent OER activity and could be easily mass-produced using low-cost iron based materials and simple methods.

Jun'an Lai, Daofu Wu, Peng He, Kang An, Yijia Wang, Peng Feng, WeiWei Chen, Zixian Wang, Linfeng Guo, Xiaosheng Tang

Summary: Zero-dimensional organic-inorganic metal halides (OMHs) are gaining attention in the fabrication of light-emitting diodes due to their broad emission band and high photoluminescence quantum yield. This work synthesized a zero-dimensional organic tetraphenylphosphonium bismuth chloride (TBC) that showed efficient blue light emission, with the emission mechanism attributed to the transition of Bi3+ ions. White light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) were fabricated using TBC, along with green-emitting and red-emitting single crystals, achieving single-component white emissions. These findings demonstrate the different emission mechanism of ns2 ions-based OMHs and highlight the potential of bismuth-based OMHs in WLEDs applications.

Study on the wear resistance and mechanism of AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys

Xuewei Liang, Yunhai Su, Taisen Yang, Zhiyong Dai, Yingdi Wang, Xingping Yong

Summary: The revolutionary design concept of high-entropy alloys has brought new opportunities and challenges to the development of advanced metal materials. In this work, AlCrCuFe2NiTix high-entropy flux cored wires were prepared by combining the design idea of a high-entropy alloy with the characteristics of flux cored wire. AlCr-CuFe2NiTix high-entropy surfacing alloys were prepared using gas metal arc welding technology. The wear properties of the alloys were analyzed, and the phase composition, microstructure, strengthening mechanism, and wear mechanism were discussed. The results show that the alloys exhibit a dendritic microstructure with BCC/B2 + FCC phases. Increasing Ti content leads to the precipitation of Laves phase. The alloys show improved microhardness and wear resistance due to the precipitation of coherent B2 and Laves phases. However, excessive Ti addition results in the increase of Laves phase and reduced wear resistance of the alloys.
