Hydrogen embrittlement was observed in an Fe-18Mn-1.2C (wt.%) steel. The tensile ductility was drastically reduced by hydrogen charging during tensile testing. The fracture mode was mainly intergranular fracture, though transgranular fracture was also partially observed. The transgranular fracture occurred parallel to the primary and secondary deformation twin boundaries, as confirmed by electron backscattering diffraction analysis and orientation-optimized electron channeling contrast imaging. The microstructural observations indicate that cracks are initiated at grain boundaries and twin boundaries. (C) 2011 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Tomohiko Hojo, Yutao Zhou, Junya Kobayashi, Koh-ichi Sugimoto, Yoshito Takemoto, Akihiko Nagasaka, Motomichi Koyama, Saya Ajito, Eiji Akiyama

Summary: The effects of thermomechanical processing on the microstructure and hydrogen embrittlement properties of ultrahigh-strength, low-alloy, TRIP-aided bainitic ferrite (TBF) steels were investigated. The study found that thermomechanical processing can refine the microstructure, improve the characteristics of retained austenite, and enhance the strength of the material. Additionally, it was found that thermomechanical processing improves the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the TBF steels.

Cr Effects on the Local Plasticity Evolution and Fracture Behaviors of Ni-Cr Alloys Tensile-Tested under Hydrogen Charging

Naohiro Kobayashi, Motomichi Koyama, Misaho Yamamura, Tomohiko Hojo, Eiji Akiyama

Summary: This study investigates the influence of Cr on hydrogen embrittlement behavior in pure Ni, Ni-20Cr, and Ni-44Cr alloys through electrochemical hydrogen charging and microstructure observations. The results show that the addition of Cr promotes plasticity-induced local stress evolution associated with dislocation pile-up and increases the grain boundary strength of the alloys.

Factors Distinguishing Hydrogen-Assisted Intergranular and Intergranular-Like Fractures in a Tempered Lath Martensitic Steel

Tingshu Chen, Takahiro Chiba, Motomichi Koyama, Eiji Akiyama, Kenichi Takai

Summary: Intergranular fracture is the primary mode of fracture in lath martensitic steels with a significant amount of hydrogen. With a reduction in hydrogen content, plasticity plays a significant role in the intergranular fracture, leading to intergranular-like fracture. Intergranular fracture occurs in the macroscopically elastic regime, while intergranular-like fracture involves plasticity evolution, resulting in the formation of nano-voids and tear ridges.

Transformation-Induced Microcracks and Their Arrest with Different Deformation Temperatures in a Medium Mn Steel

Yutao Zhou, Motomichi Koyama, Tomohiko Hojo, Saya Ajito, Eiji Akiyama

Summary: In this study, the temperature dependence of microstructure and damage evolution in medium Mn steel was investigated. The results showed that deformation temperatures had a significant impact on the flow behavior, work hardening rate, and mechanical properties of the steel. Deformation-induced martensite acted as the initiation site of damage, and the critical strain and probability of damage initiation decreased with decreasing deformation temperature. Furthermore, the decrease in temperature deteriorated the micro-damage arrestability of ferrite, resulting in a transition from ductile to quasi-cleavage fractures.

Environment-assisted cracking of AZ31 magnesium alloy in a borate buffer solution containing ammonium thiocyanate under various potentials

Saya Ajito, Tomohiko Hojo, Motomichi Koyama, Sachiko Hiromoto, Eiji Akiyama

Summary: The environment-assisted cracking behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy was studied through tensile tests in a Na2B4O7·10H2O solution containing NH4SCN and in air at cathodic and corrosion potentials. Mechanical properties of AZ31 were unaffected by the environment at an initial strain rate of 10-4s-1, but degraded in the solution at an initial strain rate of 10-6s-1. Higher potentials resulted in smaller total elongation, while positive potential shift increased the average hydrogen absorption rate. These findings indicate that environment-assisted cracking becomes more severe under relatively high potential due to corrosion and enhanced hydrogen absorption.

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.

A physics-constrained neural network for crystal plasticity modelling of FCC materials

Guowei Zhou, Yuanzhe Hu, Zizheng Cao, Myoung Gyu Lee, Dayong Li

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.

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.
