The room-temperature coercivity of the hot-deformed magnet increased from 1.21 to 1.86 T and the coercivity at 180 degrees C increased from 0.33 to 0.70T by adding 8 wt.% Nd60Fe15Ga20Cu5 alloy powders. The temperature coefficient of coercivity increased from -0.469 to -0.402%/degrees C and is superior to that of most magnets. The microstructure revealed that the Nd2Fe14B grains were isolated by Nd-Ga-Cu-rich intergranular phases. Statistical analysis indicated that the average grain size was reduced by approximately 25%. Both the exchange decoupling between grains and the ultrafine grains were responsible for the improved thermal stability of the magnets without using heavy rare-earth elements.

Improved (BH)max and squareness in diffusion-processed hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets by self-diffusion process under pressure

Xianshuang Xia, Tieqiao Zhang, Mei Liu, Lanting Zhang, Renjie Chen, Xu Tang, Jinyun Ju, Wenzong Yin, Aru Yan

Summary: In this study, new efforts were made to recover the remanence and maximum energy product in diffusion-processed hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets. Through annealing at 800 degrees C under pressure, improvements were seen in c-axis misalignment of grains, distribution of powder boundary phase, and squareness factor of the demagnetization curve. The enhanced squareness factor was attributed to the homogeneous magnetization reversal process caused by the uniform microstructure.

Inhibition of Abnormal Grain Growth in Stir Zone via In-Situ Intermetallic Particle Formation During Friction Stir Welding of AA6061

Xin Zou, Cunli Liu, Muyang Deng, Ji Chen, Lanting Zhang, Ke Chen

Summary: Abnormal grain growth (AGG) commonly occurs during the post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) of friction stir welded (FSWed) AA6061, reducing joint strength and limiting its usage in superplastic forming. In this research, a new welding method with the introduction of a ball-milled Al-Ti powder mixture into the stir zone effectively inhibited AGG during PWHT. Microscopic characterizations revealed the evolution of the powder mixture into different particle formations and Al3Ti new phase. Quantitative analysis confirmed the increases in particle number and average size, validating the grain growth model and the enhanced particle pinning effect for AGG inhibition.

Rapid screening of magnetic properties in several Fe-X-Ni systems via combinatorial materials chip method

Cai Chen, Xinyi Ji, Jianhao Wang, Mei Liu, Yao Lu, Xiaoping Wang, Aimin Zhang, Li Chen, Xianping Dong, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

Summary: Fe-X-Ni (X 1/4 Cr, W and V) combinatorial thin-film materials chips were fabricated and characterized to establish the composition-phase-magnetic properties relationships. The results showed that saturation magnetization decreases with increasing dopped elements content and is influenced by grain size and texture. Comparing the Fe-X-Ni systems, different alloying elements lead to diverse magnetic properties due to the orientation and crystallinity of the fcc phase. The effect of heat treatment on magnetic properties indicates a close relationship between saturation magnetization and duration of heat treatment.

Orientation dependence of plastic deformation of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets at high temperature

Mei Liu, Lanting Zhang, Bingbing Zhao, Fugang Chen, Xianshuang Xia, Yongjiang Yu, Hajime Yamamoto, Kazuhiro Ito

Summary: In this study, the plastic deformation behavior of Nd2Fe14B matrix grains was investigated by uniaxial compression. The stress exponent n and apparent activation energy Q were found to increase as the c-axis rotation increased from 0 degrees to 90 degrees. Short straight dislocations array on the (001) plane were observed in the 45 degrees-orientated specimen. Grain rotation via grain boundary sliding and dislocation-mediated deformation were found to occur when the micro-sized magnets were deformed above 1000 degrees C.

Balanced mechanical properties of Al0.3CoCrFeNiTix high-entropy alloys by tailoring Ti content and heat treatment

Yao Lu, Kai Zhang, Bingbing Zhao, Xianping Dong, Feng Sun, Baoxue Zhou, Yunqian Zhen, Lanting Zhang

Summary: Al0.3CoCrFeNiTix (x = 0.025, 0.075, 0.15) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) were studied to investigate the effects of Ti addition and aging temperature on the mechanical properties. The alloy aged at 700 degrees C with x = 0.15 showed the highest ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and fracture elongation both at room temperature and 700 degrees C. The outstanding balanced mechanical properties of the alloy are attributed to the uniformly distributed L1(2) and B2 particles, which are promoted by Ti.

An element-wise machine learning strategy to predict glass-forming range of ternary alloys enabled by comprehensive data

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

Summary: Many studies have used machine learning to predict the glass-forming range of metallic glasses. However, the imbalanced and clustered datasets used for training the model make it difficult for the model to extrapolate. In this work, the generalization deficiency of the machine learning model was addressed by combining high-throughput experimentation and machine learning modeling, highlighting the importance of comprehensive data. Training the models with comprehensive data distribution over the composition space, it was found that data imbalance can lead to a skewed model and balanced data is crucial for the model's performance. An element-wise machine learning strategy was demonstrated to accelerate the identification of the glass-forming range.

Uncertainty quantification of phase boundary in a composition-phase map via Bayesian strategies

Biao Wu, Haihui Zhang, Yuanxun Zhou, Lanting Zhang, Hong Wang

Summary: In this study, we propose an approach to determine the phase boundary and its uncertainty in a phase-composition map based on high-throughput experimentation. The approach combines Bayesian logistics regression with domain knowledge of phase diagrams and models both linear and nonlinear phase boundaries. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated using experimental data, and the uncertainty can be further reduced by incorporating data from subbinary systems.

Effect of nano-Cu addition on the diffusion behaviors of Dy in hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B magnets

Xianshuang Xia, Guantong Wei, Lian Wu, Yeyuan Du, Xu Tang, Jinyun Ju, Haichen Wu, Renjie Chen, Wenzong Yin, Aru Yan

Summary: To improve the utilization of heavy rare-earth resources in Nd-Fe-B magnets, a dual alloy process was used to implement intergranular diffusion of DyF3 aided by nano-Cu. The addition of 0.2 wt% nano-Cu resulted in higher coercivity increment and maintained high remanence compared to Cu-free magnets. The presence of nano-Cu facilitated the dissolution and infiltration of bulky Dy-rich phase into adjacent powder flakes. The higher Dy concentrations in the main phase and grain boundary phase of Cu-containing magnets contributed to the enhancement of coercivity.

Improvement of overall texture and magnetic properties in bulk hot- deformed Nd-Fe-B composite magnets by the design of macrostructure

Xianshuang Xia, Guantong Wei, Lian Wu, Yong Ouyang, Xu Tang, Yeyuan Du, Renjie Chen, Jinyun Ju, Wenzong Yin, Aru Yan

Summary: Four types of bulk hot-deformed Nd-Fe-B composite magnets were designed with different combinations of Dy-free and Dy-containing powders. The magnets showed significant differences in magnetic properties, with MGGM having the highest remanence (13.48 kGs), GMMG having the highest coercivity (22.24 kOe), and MGGM having the highest overall magnetic performance (approximately 65). The poor deformability of the mixed powders in the (M-G)mix magnet resulted in inferior ribbon texture throughout the magnet. The excellent remanence and overall magnetic performance of the MGGM magnet can be attributed to the superior ribbon texture of M powders compared to G powders. Finite element simulations were conducted to explain the deformation behaviors and microstructural differences of the composite magnets.

Accelerated discovery of cost-effective Nd-Fe-B magnets through adaptive learning

Jie Chen, Jian Liu, Minjuan Zhang, Zhanji Dong, Zhongjie Peng, Xinyi Ji, Mei Liu, Lanting Zhang, Anqi Zhang, Hong Zhu

Summary: Designing Nd-Fe-B-based permanent magnets with high temperature stability is crucial for their use in traction motors. Conventionally, heavy rare-earth elements are used for achieving high temperature stability, but at a higher cost. This study demonstrates the utilization of an adaptive learning framework to optimize the composition of Nd-Fe-B-based magnets with lower-cost elements and improve the performance-cost ratio. The framework efficiently screens novel compositions and guides the experimental design, resulting in significant improvements in the performance-cost ratio.

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.

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.

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.
