Project description:The prominent comprehensive properties of solid-solution- and intermetallic-based Ti alloys are derived from their diverse microstructures induced by multi-component alloying, which results in a chemical composition complexity. A cluster-plus-glue-atom model, characterizing the chemical short-range orders, was introduced to explore the relationships among the local atomic distributions of alloying elements in different phase structures of Ti alloys, including ?-Ti, ?-Ti, ?-Ti, ?2-Ti3Al, ?-TiAl, O-Ti2AlNb, and B2-Ti(Al,Nb). Specific cluster structural units, i.e., cluster formulas, for these phases were determined with the guide of the Friedel oscillation theory for electron-structure stabilization. It is due to the change of cluster structural units that induces the phase transformation, which is attributed to the amounts of primary alloying elements of Al and Nb. The total atom number (Z) values in these cluster structural units, calculated by the Fermi vector kF, are all very close to the integer of Z?=?16. Furthermore, the composition rules of industrial multi-component Ti alloys based on these phases were generalized in light of the cluster formula approach, which will open up a new route towards designing high-performance Ti alloys with complex compositions.

Project description:The unpredictability of geopolitical tensions and resulting supply chain and pricing instabilities make it imperative to explore rare earth free magnetic materials. As such, we have investigated fully transition metal based "high entropy alloys" in the context of the magnetocaloric effect. We find the NiFeCoCrPdx family exhibits a second order magnetic phase transition whose critical temperature is tunable from 100 K to well above room temperature. The system notably displays changes in the functionality of the magnetic entropy change depending on x, which leads to nearly 40% enhancement of the refrigerant capacity. A detailed statistical analysis of the universal scaling behavior provides direct evidence that heat treatment and Pd additions reduce the distribution of exchange energies in the system, leading to a more magnetically homogeneous alloy. The general implications of this work are that the parent NiFeCoCr compound can be tuned dramatically with FCC metal additives. Together with their relatively lower cost, their superior mechanical properties that aid manufacturability and their relative chemical inertness that aids product longevity, NiFeCoCr-based materials could ultimately lead to commercially viable magnetic refrigerants.

Project description:Ti alloys have attracted continuing research attention as promising biomaterials due to their superior corrosion resistance and biocompatibility and excellent mechanical properties. Metastable ?-type Ti alloys also provide several unique properties such as low Young's modulus, shape memory effect, and superelasticity. Such unique properties are predominantly attributed to the phase stability and reversible martensitic transformation. In this study, the effects of the Nb and Zr contents on phase constitution, transformation temperature, deformation behavior, and Young's modulus were investigated. Ti-Nb and Ti-Nb-Zr alloys over a wide composition range, i.e., Ti-(18-40)Nb, Ti-(15-40)Nb-4Zr, Ti-(16-40)Nb-8Zr, Ti-(15-40)Nb-12Zr, Ti-(12-17)Nb-18Zr, were fabricated and their properties were characterized. The phase boundary between the ? phase and the ?'' martensite phase was clarified. The lower limit content of Nb to suppress the martensitic transformation and to obtain a single ? phase at room temperature decreased with increasing Zr content. The Ti-25Nb, Ti-22Nb-4Zr, Ti-19Nb-8Zr, Ti-17Nb-12Zr and Ti-14Nb-18Zr alloys exhibit the lowest Young's modulus among Ti-Nb-Zr alloys with Zr content of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 18 at.%, respectively. Particularly, the Ti-14Nb-18Zr alloy exhibits a very low Young's modulus less than 40 GPa. Correlation among alloy composition, phase stability, and Young's modulus was discussed.

Project description:Biodegradable metals have attracted considerable attentions in recent years. Besides the early launched biodegradable Mg and Fe metals, Zn, an essential element with osteogenic potential of human body, is regarded and studied as a new kind of potential biodegradable metal quite recently. Unfortunately, pure Zn is soft, brittle and has low mechanical strength in the practice, which needs further improvement in order to meet the clinical requirements. On the other hand, the widely used industrial Zn-based alloys usually contain biotoxic elements (for instance, ZA series contain toxic Al elements up to 40 wt.%), which subsequently bring up biosafety concerns. In the present work, novel Zn-1X binary alloys, with the addition of nutrition elements Mg, Ca and Sr were designed (cast, rolled and extruded Zn-1Mg, Zn-1Ca and Zn-1Sr). Their microstructure and mechanical property, degradation and in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility were studied systematically. The results demonstrated that the Zn-1X (Mg, Ca and Sr) alloys have profoundly modified the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of pure Zn. Zn-1X (Mg, Ca and Sr) alloys showed great potential for use in a new generation of biodegradable implants, opening up a new avenue in the area of biodegradable metals.

Project description:Materials with excellent high-temperature strength are now sought for applications in hypersonics, fusion reactors, and aerospace technologies. Conventional alloys and eutectic multiprincipal-element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit insufficient strengths at high temperatures due to low melting points and microstructural instabilities. Here, we report a strategy to achieve exceptional high-temperature microstructural stability and strength by introducing eutectic carbide in a refractory MPEA. The synergistic strengthening effects from the multiprincipal-element mixing and strong dislocation blocking at the interwoven metal-carbide interface make the eutectic MPEA not only have outstanding high-temperature strength (>2 GPa at 1473 K) but also alleviate the room-temperature brittleness through microcrack tip blunting by layered metallic phase. This strategy offers a paradigm for the design of the next-generation high-temperature materials to bypass the low-melting point limitation of eutectic alloys and diffusion-dominated softening in conventional superalloys.

Project description:Diffusion coefficients of alloying elements in Mg are critical for the development of new Mg alloys for lightweight applications. Here we present the data set of the temperature-dependent dilute tracer diffusion coefficients for 47 substitutional alloying elements in hexagonal closed packed (hcp) Mg calculated from first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) by combining transition state theory and an 8-frequency model. Benchmark for the DFT calculations and systematic comparison with experimental diffusion data are also presented. The data set refers to "Diffusion coefficients of alloying elements in dilute Mg alloys: A comprehensive first-principles study" by Zhou et al. [1].

Project description:The effect of alloying with transition metals (Ni, Co, Fe) on the adsorption strength of phosphoric acid on Pt alloy surfaces was investigated using electrochemical analysis and first-principles calculations. Cyclic voltammograms of carbon-supported Pt3M/C (M?=?Ni, Co, and Fe) electrocatalysts in 0.1?M HClO4 with and without 0.01?M H3PO4 revealed that the phosphoric acid adsorption charge density near the onset potential on the nanoparticle surfaces was decreased by alloying with transition metals in the order Co, Fe, Ni. First-principles calculations based on density functional theory confirmed that the adsorption strength of phosphoric acid was weakened by alloying with transition metals, in the same order as that observed in the electrochemical analysis. The simulation suggested that the weaker phosphoric acid adsorption can be attributed to a lowered density of states near the Fermi level due to alloying with transition metals.

Project description:This study assess the biocompatibility of Ti-26Nb compared to Ti-Cp, a reference in implantology, through the combination of conventional toxicological assay, morphological observations and transcriptomic analysis performed on two different cells line : Saos-2 and THP-1. The biocompatibility of Ti-Cp implants was evaluated in comparison with Ti-26Nb implants both having a mirror polished surface, studying cell proliferation (trypan blue and WST-1) and cell morphology/adhesion (SEM) on human THP-1 and Saos-2 cell lines. Finally, an evaluation of a potential toxicity of potassium niobiate powder KNbO3 was carried out by measuring metabolic activity and realizing a transcriptomic study on the THP-1 line (the first one) to deepen the results observed with Ti-26Nb discs. Indeed, niobiate ions are potentially released from implant in cellular acidic environnement. Concerning Saos-2 cells, our results suggest that Ti-26Nb and Ti-Cp discs do not impact proliferation and viability. Concerning THP-1 cell line, a decrease in proliferation and viability is observed in contact of Ti-26Nb discs (hypothesis of a cell-line effect ?, no biocompatibility study on monocyte/macrophage cell lines such as THP-1 actually available in literature). KNbO3 powder does not impact viability of THP-1 cells and does not induce changes at molecular level. Taken together, these data suggest a possible toxicity of Ti-26Nb toward THP-1 cells not directly related to the niobium but perhaps to the manufacturing process of Titane niobium alloy.

Project description:This work systematically analysed the electrochemical and corrosion behaviour of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy samples in Hank's solution. For the samples with 1.5% and 3% Ag content, the sintering temperature increased from 750 to 950°C, and the corresponding corrosion resistance increased by 100 times due to the increased alloying of Ag; meanwhile for the sample with 4.5% Ag content, the sintering temperature increased from 750 to 950°C, and the corresponding corrosion resistance decreased by six times due to the increased precipitation of Ag. These tests prove that the Ag alloying is beneficial to the enhancement of the corrosion resistance of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy, but the Ag trace precipitation has the opposite effect. A series of electrochemical characterizations and density functional theory calculations explain the mechanism of the above phenomenon. Ag alloying can promote the formation of uniform, complete, dense, stable and thick passivation layer on the surface of Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy, which makes Ti-Ta-Ag ternary alloy uniformly corroded without pitting. In addition, Ag alloying can effectively reduce the contact resistance of the solid-liquid interface. However, the trace precipitation of Ag plays the opposite role to the above effect.

Project description:Chemical and topological parameters have been widely used for predicting the phase selection in high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Nevertheless, previous studies could be faulted due to the small number of available data points, the negligence of kinetic effects, and the insensitivity to small compositional changes. Here in this work, 92 TiZrHfM, TiZrHfMM, TiZrHfMMM (M?=?Fe, Cr, V, Nb, Al, Ag, Cu, Ni) HEAs were prepared by melt spinning, to build a reliable and sufficiently large material database to inspect the robustness of previously established parameters. Modification of atomic radii by considering the change of local electronic environment in alloys, was critically found out to be superior in distinguishing the formation of amorphous and crystalline alloys, when compared to using atomic radii of pure elements in topological parameters. Moreover, crystal structures of alloying element were found to play an important role in the amorphous phase formation, which was then attributed to how alloying hexagonal-close-packed elements and face-centered-cubic or body-centered-cubic elements can affect the mixing enthalpy. Findings from this work not only provide parametric studies for HEAs with new and important perspectives, but also reveal possibly a hidden connection among some important concepts in various fields.
