We studied the role of thermal spike in nanocrystallization of Cu50Zr45Ti5 metallic glasses after 1 MeV Cu ion irradiation at room temperature. Nanocrystals of Cu10Zr7 and CuZr2 phases are formed after the ion irradiation. The study suggests that thermal spike formation and subsequent quenching are too fast to allow direct structural transformation in the damage cascade regions. The overall irradiation effects are caused by enhanced atomic mobility due to increased excessive free volume. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Texture development in Cu-Ag-Fe triphase immiscible nanocomposites with superior thermal stability

Tongjun Niu, Yifan Zhang, Zihao He, Tianyi Sun, Nicholas A. Richter, Haiyan Wang, Xinghang Zhang

Summary: Nanocrystalline metals are of great interest due to their high strength, excellent wear resistance, and superior radiation properties. However, grain coarsening at elevated temperatures can degrade their properties, limiting their potential for high temperature applications. In this study, an interplay of immiscible Cu, Ag, Fe grains is reported to stabilize the grain structure and tailor texture development. Cu50Ag50 alloy experiences grain coarsening, while Cu-Ag-Fe nanocomposites exhibit smaller grain sizes after annealing. The composition of Fe plays a dominant role in changing the texture of the nanocomposites. This study provides insights for designing stable nanocomposites with tunable texture.

An in situ study on the effect of grain boundaries on helium bubble formation in dual beam irradiated FeCrAl alloy

Tianyi Sun, Tongjun Niu, Zhongxia Shang, Wei-Ying Chen, Meimei Li, Haiyan Wang, Xinghang Zhang

Summary: We compared the irradiation response of nanolaminate (NL) and coarse-grained (CG) FeCrAl alloys by performing He ion irradiation followed by in situ Kr ion irradiation. The NL alloy showed reduced swelling and decreased density of dislocation loops compared to the CG alloy. The distribution of He bubbles seemed to depend on misorientation angles of high angle grain boundaries. A new type of nanoprecipitates was identified in the irradiated CG FeCrAl without noticeable chemical segregation, while chemical segregation occurred along the laminate boundaries in the irradiated NL FeCrAl alloy.

Summary: Void formation is an important aspect in the irradiation response of metals. In situ transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the evolution of voids during irradiation. By combining a convolutional neural network with greedy matching, a data-driven approach was utilized to detect and track nanovoid evolutions and migrations, revealing surprising phenomena of void size fluctuation and shrinkage in irradiated Cu with pre-existing nanovoids. Phase-field simulations provided insights into the fundamental mechanism behind the observed void size fluctuation phenomenon.

Twin density and twin thickness evolution in sputtered Al-Mg alloys

X. Y. Sheng, N. A. Richter, A. Y. Shang, H. Wang, X. Zhang

Summary: The role of Mg solute in facilitating the formation of growth twins in twinned Al-Mg alloys remains unclear. The twinned grain fraction increases with increasing film thickness until it reaches a peak at 120-160 nm. Al-Mg alloys show higher twinned grain fractions compared to pure Al. The increase in twin density is attributed to the impingement of twinned grains during island coalescence and their higher survival rate during grain growth.

Gradient nanostructured steel with superior tensile plasticity

Zhongxia Shang, Tianyi Sun, Jie Ding, Nicholas A. Richter, Nathan M. Heckman, Benjamin C. White, Brad L. Boyce, Khalid Hattar, Haiyan Wang, Xinghang Zhang

Summary: Nanostructured metallic materials with abundant high-angle grain boundaries demonstrate high strength and good radiation resistance. However, the nanoscale grains also impair the tensile ductility. A gradient nanostructured ferritic steel is shown to simultaneously improve yield strength by 36% and uniform elongation by 50% compared to a homogeneously structured counterpart. In-situ tension studies combined with electron backscattered diffraction analyses reveal intricate coordinated deformation mechanisms in the gradient structures. The plastic strain sustained by the outermost nanolaminate grains through a significant deformation mechanism involving prominent grain reorientation contributes to the delay of fracture onset, altering the rupture mode in the post-necking regime. This discovery emphasizes the inherent plasticity of nanolaminate grains and their importance in the simultaneous improvement of strength and tensile ductility in structural metallic materials.

Significant texture and wear resistance improvement of TiN coatings using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering

N. A. Richter, B. Yang, J. P. Barnard, T. Niu, X. Sheng, D. Shaw, M. Watanabe, G. Rane, U. Krause, P. Duerrenfeld, H. Wang, X. Zhang

Summary: In this study, the influence of bipolar pulsed direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering on the microstructure evolution of titanium nitride (TiN) coatings is explored and compared with conventional DC sputtering. The implementation of pulsed DC voltage promotes a drastic texture change from randomly oriented polycrystals to (111) textured TiN coatings across various Si substrates, including amorphous SiO2. Higher pulse frequencies contribute to significant grain size reduction, resulting in increased hardness and wear resistance. The potential mechanism for this microstructural and texture evolution is also investigated.

The Influence of Powder Particle Size Distributions on Mechanical Properties of Alloy 718 by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Benjamin Thomas Stegman, Jack Lopez, William Jarosinski, Haiyan Wang, Xinghang Zhang

Summary: Currently, metallic powders for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) are primarily available in two size distributions: 15+/45- for non-reactive powders and 15+/63- for reactive powders. However, due to the Gaussian distribution, only a small portion of the powder is used for LPBF, resulting in increased processing costs. A study on 718 alloys with a bimodal size distribution showed that it had minimal differences in density and mechanical behavior compared to conventional 718. The study suggests that particles with wider or bimodal size distributions can produce high-quality products without sacrificing mechanical properties.

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.
