This study reports a selectively laser-melted Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy with a good combination of strength and toughness. The fracture toughness was effectively improved through diverse intrinsic/extrinsic toughening mechanisms associated with its ultrafine and heterogeneous microstructure. This research provides a potent strategy for fabricating high-strength and high-toughness Al-based alloys.
For most safety-critical applications, the achievement of both high strength and high toughness is one of the key requirements for structural materials. However, strength and toughness are generally mutually exclusive. Here, we report a selective-laser-melted Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy with a good combination of strength and toughness, which is comparable to those of 7075-T651 high-strength wrought Al alloy. Despite the brittle crack associated with order-induced planar slip due to secondary Al-3(Sc,Zr) nano-precipitates, the fracture toughness was effectively improved via diverse intrinsic/extrinsic toughening mechanisms associated with its ultrafine and heterogeneous microstructure. The present work provides a potent strategy for fabricating high-strength and high-toughness Al-based alloys. (C) 2021 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Role of defects on the high cycle fatigue behavior of selective laser melted Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy

Zehao Qin, Nan Kang, Fengying Zhang, Zihong Wang, Qian Wang, Jing Chen, Xin Lin, Weidong Huang

Summary: This study investigates the high cycle fatigue properties of an Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy manufactured via SLM with optimized parameters, finding periodic, inhomogeneous microstructure causing reduced fatigue life. X-ray CT results show random distribution of mainly porosity defects initiating fatigue crack. Annealed samples exhibit good fatigue strength close to high-strength 7075Al. A fatigue crack propagation mode related to defect microstructure characteristics is established for predicting fatigue properties.

Anisotropic high cycle fatigue property of Sc and Zr-modified Al-Mg alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion

Zehao Qin, Nan Kang, Mohamed El Mansori, Zihong Wang, Haoxiang Wang, Xin Lin, Jing Chen, Weidong Huang

Summary: This study investigates the defects, microstructure, and fatigue properties of Sc and Zr-modified Al-Mg alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) in different building directions. The research finds that transversely deposited (TD) samples exhibit higher fatigue strength due to the defects and microstructure. The lack of fusion leads to higher stress concentration in the parallelly deposited (PD) samples, while the indistinctive crack deflection and possible cyclic softening of columnar grains result in decreased fatigue resistance.

On the Sc induced solidification-heterogeneous microstructure in selective laser melted Al-5Mn alloys

Jinglin Lu, Xin Lin, Nan Kang, Yang Cao, Qingzheng Wang, Jiacong Li, Lingyu Zhang, Weidong Huang

Summary: The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Mn-Sc alloys fabricated by selective laser melting were studied. It was found that the precipitation sequence and Sc/Mn ratio were critical for controlling the grain and precipitate characteristics. The pre-precipitated Mn-bearing particles inhibited the formation of Al3Sc, resulting in a columnar grain structure, while the preferentially precipitated Al3Sc induced a bimodal grain structure and led to cracking in regions with mismatched deformation capacity.

Influence of post-heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Cu-Mg-Zr alloy manufactured by selective laser melting

Yanfang Wang, Xin Lin, Nan Kang, Zihong Wang, Yuxi Liu, Weidong Huang

Summary: A direct aging regime was proposed to maintain the grain-boundary strengthening and precipitation strengthening in modified conventional wrought aluminum alloys, resulting in a higher yield strength compared to the normal T6 heat treatment. The direct aging treatment preserved the ultrafine grains and precipitated spherical L1(2)-Al3Zr particles, while the solution treatment and aging led to grain coarsening and the presence of coarsening L1(2)-Al3Zr particles, nano-sized S' phases, and GPB zones. Both the direct aging and solution treatment and aging samples exhibited higher strength than other SLMed Al-Cu-Mg series alloys, comparable to the wrought AA2024-T6 alloy.

Effect of laser additive manufacturing on the microstructure and mechanical properties of TiB2 reinforced Al-Cu matrix composite

Q. Z. Wang, X. Lin, N. Kang, X. L. Wen, Y. Cao, J. L. Lu, D. J. Peng, J. Bai, Y. X. Zhou, M. El Mansori, W. D. Huang

Summary: Understanding the effect of reinforcements on microstructure evolution and strengthening mechanism is crucial for developing good performance aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) prepared by laser additive manufacturing (LAM). In this study, the roles of submicron-TiB2 particles in the grain morphology evolution, mechanical properties, and corresponding strengthening mechanism of the 2024Al matrix processed by laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) and laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) were compared. The results show that the L-DED processed TiB2p/2024Al composite has equiaxed grains, while the L-PBF processed composite only shows refinement in columnar grains. Both L-DED and L-PBF fabricated 3 wt% TiB2p/2024Al composites exhibit enhanced strength and plasticity due to grain refinement. Grain boundary strengthening, dislocation strengthening, and load transfer strengthening contribute to the increased yield strength in L-DEDed TiB2p/2024Al sample.

An enhanced finite element modelling based on self-regulation effect in directed energy deposition of Ti-6Al-4V

Bo Yao, Xufei Lu, Liang Ma, Nan Kang, Shang Sui, Hua Tan, Jing Chen

Summary: In laser blown powder directed energy deposition (DED), the self-regulation effect (SRE) is a unique phenomenon that compensates for the sloping deposition surface induced by process fluctuations or part warpage. Previous numerical studies on DED have overlooked the variable layer thickness and the credibility of simulations. In this study, an improved modeling process considering SRE is proposed, and experimental measurements are used to quantify the relationship between layer thickness and powder standoff distance (PSD) and inter-layer temperature (ILT). Two thermo-mechanical finite element (FE) models are established to examine the proposed modeling strategy, and the results demonstrate that the model with SRE significantly improves the mechanical and geometric predictions of DED parts.

Microstructure and mechanical characterizations of additively manufactured high oxygen-doped titanium

Wendi Shi, Yahui Yang, Nan Kang, Minjie Wang, Biao Chen, Yulong Li, Umeda Junko, Katsuyoshi Kondoh, Jianghua Shen

Summary: This study adopted the selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing method to produce high oxygen-doped commercial purity titanium (Ti-O). The results showed that the TiO2 powders decomposed under the SLM process and the oxygen atoms were presented as solid solutes. The strength of SLM Ti-O drastically increased regardless of loading rate, while pure Ti and Ti-O alloy exhibited distinct strain rate sensitivity. The difference between these SLM samples was found to closely relate with their microstructures.

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.
