This letter proposes a strategy to screen high-performance supersaturated HEAs based on existing EHEAs, and achieves high strength and ductility through the design of supersaturated terminal solid solutions.
The large amounts of data in eutectic high-entropy alloys (EHEAs) provide the opportunity for a rapid design of superior high-entropy alloys (HEAs). In this letter, we proposed a strategy to screen high-performance supersaturated HEAs based on the existing EHEAs with superior properties. The designed HEAs of supersaturated terminal solid solutions possess unique characteristics. On the one hand, the as-cast alloys exhibited primary single-phase dendrites/grains with maximum solid solution hardening and minor interdendritic/intergranular second phases as modifiers. On the other hand, the maximum saturation enabled the highest volume fraction of precipitates during aging. Taking advantage of these characteristics, high strength and ductility were achieved in the designed HEAs. These findings can accelerate the exploration of supersaturated HEAs with superior properties.

Crossover from lamellar to intersected ice morphologies within a single ice crystal during unidirectional freezing of an aqueous solution

Tongxin Zhang, Zhijun Wang, Lilin Wang, Junjie Li, Jincheng Wang

Summary: The study proved the transition of a single ice crystal from lamellar to intersected morphologies, revealing tilted lamellar morphology and competition between ice lamellae. The intersected morphology, originating from peculiar growth habit of ice, is crystallographically different from competitive growth of bi-crystal. These results provide a more complete physical picture of unidirectionally grown ice and promote understanding of ice pattern in various domains.

Non-monotonous effect of pre-strain on the precipitates and strengthening mechanisms of high-entropy alloys

Zhongsheng Yang, Zhijun Wang, Bojing Guo, Rongtian Cao, Qingfeng Wu, Dingcong Cui, Kaiwei Zhang, Junjie Li, Jincheng Wang, Feng He

Summary: This study investigated the effects of pre-strain degree on the precipitation behavior of Ni2CoCrFeTi0.18Al0.12 high-entropy alloys. The results revealed a non-monotonous effect of pre-strain on the precipitation behavior, where low pre-strain can accelerate the precipitation while high pre-strain weakens this effect. Additionally, pre-strain can control the precipitation strengthening, dislocation strengthening, and grain boundary strengthening of high-entropy alloys.

Connections between structural characteristics and crystal nucleation of Al-Sm glasses near glass transition temperature

Qi Zhang, Junjie Li, Xiaobing Hu, Sai Tang, Zhijun Wang, Jincheng Wang

Summary: A systematic investigation on the connections between the structural characteristics and crystal nucleation during the isothermal devitrification of Al-Sm glasses was conducted using molecular dynamics simulations and principal component analysis. The study found that icosahedral order dominates the local orders in Al-Sm liquids and glasses, and the formation of crystallike clusters is significantly suppressed. Doping Sm into the alloy not only increases the population of icosahedral order but also promotes the formation of medium-range icosahedral order. Calculations based on local density and bond-orientational order parameters revealed a decoupling in the spatial distribution of fluctuations in local density and bond-orientational order, as well as a lagging densification behind structural ordering. These findings provide unequivocal evidence that bond-orientational order, rather than local density, is the determinant factor for the origin of crystal nucleation in Al-Sm glass.

Revealing curvature and stochastic effects on grain growth: A thermodynamic perspective from extremal principle

Yue Li, Zhijun Wang, Yujian Wang, Junjie Li, Jincheng Wang

Summary: The roles of curvature and stochastic effects in grain growth kinetics have been a long-standing question in theoretical analysis. This study introduces a thermodynamic dissipation-based framework that incorporates contributions from microstructure entropy and phenomenological grain topological energy to capture the stochasticity and spatial correlations in grain growth. The correlations between previous mean-field and stochastic theories are revealed and further validated using the 3-D Aboav-Weaire relationship.

Dingcong Cui, Qingfeng Wu, Feng Jin, Chenbo Xu, Mingxin Wang, Zhijun Wang, Junjie Li, Feng He, Jinglong Li, Jincheng Wang

Summary: A defect-free Ti2AlNb joint has been obtained using inertia friction welding technology. The weld zone consists of B2 grains refined by discontinuous dynamic recrystallization and enhanced by grain refinement strengthening. The heterogeneous structure of the joint causes strong strain partitioning during tensile deformation, leading to microcrack initiation and premature fracture in the heat-affected zone.

Formation mechanism of massive phase in the heat affected zone of Ti-6Al-4V fabricated by forging-additive hybrid manufacturing

Jiankai Ma, Junjie Li, Yashan Zhang, Yue Li, Zhijun Wang, Feng He, Jincheng Wang

Summary: This study investigates the microstructural evolution mechanism of the heat affected zone (HAZ) in Ti alloy forging-additive hybrid manufacturing. The results show that patchy alpha m forms in the previous equiaxed alpha region of HAZ in single-pass samples, while needle-like martensite alpha' forms in the previous lamellar alpha regions close to the equiaxed alpha region. In multi-pass deposition, some alpha m grains can remain and evolve into large-sized alpha m within the previous equiaxed alpha region in the next heat cycle.

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.

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.
