Summary: A new route is proposed to achieve high strength and high ductility in Cr-Co-Ni medium entropy alloys (MEAs) by controlling the solid solution hardening parameter (MSAD) and twinning propensity parameter (SFE). Experimental results show that MSAD increases with Cr content and Ni/Co ratio, while SFE decreases with Cr content and Co/Ni ratio. Using the established connection between theoretical calculation and experimental measurement, outstanding combinations of strength and ductility are predicted and confirmed in high Cr compositions and a slightly Ni-rich side of the Co/Ni equi-composition line.

Summary: This study clarified the influence of microstructural parameters on the susceptibility of low-copper Al-Zn-Mg alloy to stress corrosion cracking. The predominant role of hydrogen diffusion at grain boundaries on hydrogen distribution was highlighted, and a qualitative model to describe SCC phenomena was proposed. The detrimental role of hydrogen at grain boundaries on mechanical behavior was emphasized, and it was suggested that hydrogen trapping on intragranular eta-MgZn2 precipitates could limit this effect.

Summary: The effects of annealing on the microstructure of pure Ni fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) were studied using Gaussian and flat-top beam profiles. The initial as-fabricated samples had a predominantly arrangement of statistically stored dislocations. The as-annealed specimens showed minimal static recrystallization, despite the high dislocation density in the as-fabricated samples. However, both types of specimens showed static recovery, with the Gaussian-LPBF-derived specimens exhibiting more prominent misorientation of dislocation boundaries.

Summary: The effect of Ti content on phase transformations, microstructures, and mechanical properties of U-Ti alloys are described. Higher cooling rates are required with increasing Ti content. Full quenching results in diffusionless transformation of gamma-phase to supersaturated variants of alpha-phase. The quenching method leads to different microstructures and mechanical properties.

Summary: The kinetics of phase transformations during linear heating of a metastable beta solution treated Ti15Mo alloy deformed by high pressure torsion (HPT) were studied. It was found that in the HPT-deformed material, the nucleation of the alpha phase occurs at lower temperatures, leading to the coexistence of beta, omega, and alpha phases at around 550 degrees C. The post-mortem observations showed that the microstructure of the HPT-deformed material remained ultra-fine grained with equiaxed grains of the alpha phase after heating up to 650 degrees C.

Summary: A single-phase BCC Nb40Ti40Ta20 (NTT) refractory medium entropy alloy (MEA) was prepared using selective laser melting (SLM) and vacuum arc melting (VAM) methods. Compared to the VAMed sample, the SLMed samples exhibited smaller grain size (only 1/22 of VAMed alloy) and a mixed morphology of columnar and cellular grains. The SLMed NTT also showed microscopic segregation due to poor element diffusion. The SLMed NTT had higher hardness and room temperature strength than the VAMed NTT, but there was no significant difference in yield strength at high temperature. The grain refinement did not significantly improve the high temperature strength of the NTT alloy due to the weakening of the grain boundary strengthening effect at high temperatures. The high ductility of NTT expands the application field of refractory alloys and makes it a promising candidate material for additive manufacturing.

Summary: The deformation behavior of equiatomic HfNbTaTiZr high entropy alloy was found to be influenced by 1/2<111> screw dislocations, similar to body centered cubic metals. An anomaly in yield stress was observed in the alloy solutionized at 1473 K, with the stress decreasing rapidly at lower temperatures and increasing at 873 K. The microstructure of the alloy strongly depended on annealing temperature, with phase separation and precipitation of different phases observed at different temperatures. Dynamic precipitation of the HCP phase was suggested to be responsible for the yield stress anomaly.

Summary: Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Si-Zr powders were produced using directed energy deposition (DED) and laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) methods. The DED sample had larger pore and grain sizes (30μm and 15.36μm) compared to the LPBF sample (3μm and 3.12μm). The microstructure of the DED sample consisted of equiaxed grains, while the LPBF sample exhibited a mixed microstructure with large columnar grains in the melt pool center and small equiaxed grains on the melt pool boundary. The mechanical properties of the LPBF sample, including yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation, were significantly higher than those of the DED sample.

Summary: This study clarifies the formation mechanisms of twin and antiphase boundaries (APBs) in MnAl2O4 spinel oxide using advanced transmission electron microscopy. It is found that MnAl2O4 has an inverse-spinel structure. The asymmetric twin structure is formed through dislocation climb-up and continuous shearing on the {111} plane, while APBs form through dislocation climb-down on a (Mn, Al)-containing {111} plane. The detailed lattice distortion induced by dislocation climb-down and the formation of APBs is analyzed. This study provides a detailed understanding of twin and APB formation mechanisms in inverse-spinel MnAl2O4.

Summary: The impact of varying Ni contents on the microstructural changes of AlSi10Mg alloy was investigated. The interaction between Si and Al3Ni phases in the alloy was found to be crucial for understanding its properties. Alloys modified with different Ni contents were solidified or remelted, and it was observed that higher Ni contents resulted in lower dendritic spacing and increased proportion of Al3Ni phase. The alloys with the best tensile results and improved surface mechanical properties were identified under specific conditions.

Summary: Secondary hot-working is crucial for microstructural modification of dual phase titanium alloys to tailor mechanical properties. However, industrial scale manufacturing often poses challenges due to a narrow processing window. Cyclic thermal treatment (CTT) is emerging as a potential technology for microstructure modification in Ti-6Al-4V, reducing mechanical work in the alpha + beta region. This study summarizes the CTT investigations conducted on wrought Ti-6Al-4V alloy to develop different initial microstructures and incorporates a JMAK model into DEFORM (R) software for microstructure evolution prediction.

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.

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.

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.

Summary: In this study, six bimetallic FeCo particles were synthesized via the hydrothermal method at different Fe:Co ratios. The Fe:Co ratio not only modulates the composition of the particles but also influences their structure and magnetic properties. The FeCo alloys showed a transformation from an Fe-based structure to a Co-based structure with increasing Co content. The Fe:Co ratio of 1:1 and 3:1 resulted in particles with the highest and lowest saturation magnetization, respectively.

Summary: We conducted a study on the formation of ultra-fine Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides in Ta+B micro-alloyed 13CrWTi-ODS alloys using electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. The Y-Ti-Ta-O nano-oxides were found to be mainly Y2(Ti,Ta)2O7, with an average size of 7 nm and a number density of 6.8 x 1023 m-3. Excess boron was found to enhance the adhesion of some low-sigma grain boundaries but weaken the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface, while excess tantalum enhanced the Fe/Y2Ti2O7 interface but caused serious degradation of grain boundaries.

Summary: Recently, there has been an increasing interest in developing ultra-fine nanostructured electrodes with extensive reaction areas to enhance the performance and low-temperature operation of solid oxide fuel cells. The use of a refined approach involving co-sputtering metal alloys and oxide targets has demonstrated the feasibility of nano-columnar structures in perovskite-based electrodes, expanding the temperature range of thin film electrodes. This study systematically examines the effects of chamber pressure control in the co-sputtering process and identifies the intricate relationship between sputtering pressure and film structure. By fine-tuning the columnar growth in the electrode, significant improvements in performance and thermo-mechanical properties were achieved, resulting in high-performance all-sputtered solid oxide fuel cells.
