Quantum-mechanical analysis of effect of alloying elements on ?-martensite start temperature of steels.

ABSTRACT: With regard to the transformation mechanism of austenitic high manganese steel, the prediction of the ?-martensite start temperature is a critical consideration in alloy design. Evaluation of the ?-martensite start temperature makes it possible to predict the microstructure and to understand the phase transformation occurring during deformation. Here we use the quantum mechanical calculation of random alloys to understand the physics for ?-martensitic transformation in steels. We could find the linear relationship between the measured ?-martensite start temperatures and the crystal structure stability for various compositions. We also could estimate the effect of several alloying elements. It is expected that the effect of decreasing the temperatures for the same amount of alloying elements addition will be larger moving farther from Group VIII. By creating a free-energy model that reflects the temperature effect, we were able to calculate the average driving force required for the ?-martensitic transformations.

Carbon content-tuned martensite transformation in low-alloy TRIP steels.

Project description:Ultrahigh strength and good ductility are obtained for two low-alloy transformation-induced-plasticity steels fabricated by the quenching and partitioning (Q&P) processing, respectively. Compared to 0.19 wt.% C steel in which γ → α'-martensite transformation is the dominant mechanism under deformation, the relatively high C content of austenite in 0.47 wt.% C steel is responsible for the transformation from γ to ε-martensite, suggesting that the transformation is not solely determined by the stacking fault energy. The study shows that during the Q&P process, strong and ductile steels with specific transformation procedures can be obtained by adjusting volume fraction and carbon content of the retained austenite.

The Effect of Alloying Elements on the Structural Stability, Mechanical Properties, and Debye Temperature of Al?Li: A First-Principles Study.

Project description:The structural stability, mechanical properties, and Debye temperature of alloying elements X (X = Sc, Ti, Co, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, and Mo) doped Al?Li were systematically investigated by first-principles methods. A negative enthalpy of formation ?Hf is predicted for all Al?Li doped species which has consequences for its structural stability. The Sc, Ti, Zr, Nb, and Mo are preferentially occupying the Li sites in Al?Li while the Co, Cu, and Zn prefer to occupy the Al sites. The Al?Li?X systems are mechanically stable at 0 K as elastic constants Cij has satisfied the stability criteria. The values of bulk modulus B for Al?Li?X (X = Sc, Ti, Co, Cu, Zr, Nb, and Mo) alloys (excluding Al?Li?Zn) increase with the increase of doping concentration and are larger than that for pure Al?Li. The Al?LiSc has the highest shear modulus G and Young's modulus E which indicates that it has stronger shear deformation resistance and stiffness. The predicted universal anisotropy index AU for pure and doped Al?Li is higher than 0, implying the anisotropy of Al?Li?X alloy. The Debye temperature ?D of Al12Li?Ti is highest among the Al?Li?X system which predicts the existence of strong covalent bonds and thermal conductivity compared to that of other systems.

Effects of Alloying Elements (C, Mo) on Hydrogen Assisted Cracking Behaviors of A516-65 Steels in Sour Environments.

Project description:This study examined the effects of alloying elements (C, Mo) on hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and sulfide stress cracking (SSC) behaviors of A516-65 grade pressure vessel steel in sour environments. A range of experimental and analytical methods of HIC, SSC, electrochemical permeation, and immersion experiments were used. The steel with a higher C content had a larger fraction of banded pearlite, which acted as a reversible trap for hydrogen, and slower diffusion kinetics of hydrogen was obtained. In addition, a higher hardness in the mid-thickness regions of the steel, due to center segregation, resulted in easier HIC propagation. On the other hand, the steel with a higher Mo content showed more dispersed banded pearlite and a larger amount of irreversibly trapped hydrogen. Nevertheless, the addition of Mo to the steel can deteriorate the surface properties through localized pitting and the local detachment of corrosion products with uneven interfaces, increasing the vulnerability to SSC. The mechanistic reasons for the results are discussed, and a desirable alloy design for ensuring an enhanced resistance to hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) is proposed.

An RVE-Based Study of the Effect of Martensite Banding on Damage Evolution in Dual Phase Steels.

Project description:The intent of this work is to numerically investigate the effect of second phase morphology on damage evolution characteristics of dual-phase (DP) steels. A strain gradient enhanced crystal plasticity framework is used in order to capture the deformation heterogeneity caused by lattice orientations and microstructural size effects. The investigation is focused on two different martensite distributions (banded and random) that are relevant for industrial applications. The effects of martensite morphology are compared by artificially generated 2D plane strain microstructures with initial void content. The Representative volume elements (RVEs) are subjected to tensile deformation imposed by periodic boundary conditions. Evolution of voids are analyzed individually as well as a whole and characterized with respect to average axial strain. It is found that during stretching voids exhibit varying evolution characteristics due to generation of inhomogeneous strain fields within the structure. The behavior of individual voids shows that the stress-state surrounding the void is different from the imposed far field macroscopic stress-state. The voids at the ferrite martensite interface and in ferrite grains of the randomly distributed martensite grow more than in the banded structure. On the other hand, voids formed by martensite cracking growth shows an opposite trend.

Influence of solidification structure on austenite to martensite transformation in additively manufactured hot-work tool steels.

Project description:The microstructure of a hot-work tool steel additively manufactured using laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF), and its response to post heat treatment, is studied in detail by microstructure characterization and computational thermodynamics and kinetics. The high solidification and cooling rates during the L-PBF process lead to suppression of δ-ferrite and instead solidification of an austenite phase directly containing a cellular substructure where the alloying elements have segregated to the inter-cellular regions and where solidification carbides have formed in the cell junctions. The austenite is then partly decomposed into martensite at lower temperatures. The micro-segregation can be predicted by reducing the complex solidification behavior to a diffusion problem in one dimension enabling detailed comparisons with the measured segregation profiles quantified at a nanometer scale. Martensite start temperature (Ms) calculations along the spatially varying composition show that the Ms temperature decreases in the inter-cellular regions where austenite is observed. The network of austenite in the as-built microstructure can be understood from the combined influence of the composition dependence of the Ms temperature in relation to the build plate temperature and the mechanical stabilization of the small-sized austenite regions. This work demonstrates the power of computational tools based on computational thermodynamics and kinetics for designing tool steels for additive manufacturing by predictions of the steel's response to the L-PBF process and post heat treatments.

Influence of Alloying Elements on the Mechanical Properties of Anodized Aluminum and on the Adhesion of Copper Metallization.

Project description:The active development of the power electronics market and a constant increase in the prices of components require new materials and approaches, including a power module packaging technology. The use of aluminum instead of copper in the power module baseplate is an interesting and promising solution. The insulated metal baseplate is one of the most extensively developed technologies nowadays. The object of this study is an insulated metal substrate based on anodized aluminum. The main goal of the article is the comparison of copper topology adhesion to an anodized aluminum oxide layer formed on different aluminum alloys with aluminum content of at least 99.3 wt %. Peel test and pull-off adhesions showed a twofold difference for both aluminum alloys. The high ordered defect-free anodized alumina formed on alloys with copper content of 0.06 wt % had a mean pull-off adhesion of 27 N/mm2 and hardness of 489 HV. In the case of the alloy with copper content of around 0.15 wt %, it had hardness of 295 HV and a mean pull-off adhesion of 12 N/mm2. The results of our microstructure investigation showed that anodized alumina based on alloys with copper content of around 0.15 wt % is fragile due to spherical holes. Summing up the results, it can be concluded that not all initial impurities are critical for anodized alumina, but some, specifically copper, dramatically decreased the mechanical properties of anodized alumina.

Effects of Silicon Content and Tempering Temperature on the Microstructural Evolution and Mechanical Properties of HT-9 Steels.

Project description:Two kinds of experimental ferritic/martensitic steels (HT-9) with different Si contents were designed for the fourth-generation advanced nuclear reactor cladding material. The effects of Si content and tempering temperature on microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of these HT-9 steel were studied. The microstructure of experimental steels after quenching and tempering were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM); the mechanical properties were investigated by means of tensile test, Charpy impact test, and hardness test. The microscopic mechanism of how the microstructural evolution influences mechanical properties was also discussed. Both XRD and TEM results showed that no residual austenite was detected after heat treatment. The results of mechanical tests showed that the yield strength, tensile strength, and plasticity of the experimental steels with 0.42% (% in mass) Si are higher than that with 0.19% Si, whereas hardness and toughness did not change much; when tempered at 760 °C, the strength and hardness of the experimental steels decreased slightly compared with those tempered at 710 °C, whereas plasticity and toughness increased. Further analysis showed that after quenching at 1050 °C for 1 h and tempering at 760 °C for 1.5 h, the comprehensive mechanical properties of the 0.42% Si experimental steel are the best compared with other experimental steels.

Microstructure Design of High-Entropy Alloys Through a Multistage Mechanical Alloying Strategy for Temperature-Stable Megahertz Electromagnetic Absorption.

Project description:Developing megahertz (MHz) electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials with broadband absorption, multi-temperature adaptability, and facile preparation method remains a challenge. Herein, nanocrystalline FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 high-entropy alloy powders (HEAs) with both large aspect ratios and thin intergranular amorphous layers are constructed by a multistage mechanical alloying strategy, aiming to achieve excellent and temperature-stable permeability and EMW absorption. A single-phase face-centered cubic structure with good ductility and high crystallinity is obtained as wet milling precursors, via precisely controlling dry milling time. Then, HEAs are flattened to improve aspect ratios by synergistically regulating wet milling time. FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 HEAs with dry milling 20 h and wet milling 5 h (D20) exhibit higher and more stable permeability because of larger aspect ratios and thinner intergranular amorphous layers. The maximum reflection loss (RL) of D20/SiO2 composites is greater than - 7 dB with 5 mm thickness, and EMW absorption bandwidth (RL < - 7 dB) can maintain between 523 and 600 MHz from - 50 to 150 °C. Furthermore, relying on the "cocktail effect" of HEAs, D20 sample also exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and high Curie temperature. This work provides a facile and tunable strategy to design MHz electromagnetic absorbers with temperature stability, broadband, and resistance to harsh environments.

Ultrahigh Charpy impact toughness (~450J) achieved in high strength ferrite/martensite laminated steels.

Project description:Strength and toughness are a couple of paradox as similar as strength-ductility trade-off in homogenous materials, body-centered-cubic steels in particular. Here we report a simple way to get ultrahigh toughness without sacrificing strength. By simple alloying design and hot rolling the 5Mn3Al steels in ferrite/austenite dual phase temperature region, we obtain a series of ferrite/martensite laminated steels that show up-to 400-450J Charpy V-notch impact energy combined with a tensile strength as high as 1.0-1.2?GPa at room temperature, which is nearly 3-5 times higher than that of conventional low alloy steels at similar strength level. This remarkably enhanced toughness is mainly attributed to the delamination between ferrite and martensite lamellae. The current finding gives us a promising way to produce high strength steel with ultrahigh impact toughness by simple alloying design and hot rolling in industry.

Effect of transition metal alloying elements on the deformation of Ti-44Al-8Nb-0.2B-0.2Y alloys.

Project description:A series of ?-? Ti-44Al-8Nb-0.2B-0.2Y alloys have been modified with 0.5 to 2.0?at.% of the ?-stabilizing elements Mn, Cr, Mo and V. Additions of Cr and Mo alone result in a decrease in the flow stress, whereas the opposite effect was observed for additions of V. For alloys with Mn additions, a minimum value of the flow stress was achieved in the alloy with 1.5% Mn. For alloys with combined additions, optimum hot deformation behavior was obtained for the alloy with 1.5% Mn and 1.0% Cr.
