Stress-induced detwinning and martensite transformation in an austenite Ni-Mn-Ga alloy with martensite cluster under uniaxial loading.

ABSTRACT: Stress-induced martensitic detwinning and martensitic transformation during step-wise compression in an austenite Ni-Mn-Ga matrix with a martensite cluster under uniaxial loading have been investigated by electron backscatter diffraction, focusing on the crystallographic features of microstructure evolution. The results indicate that detwinning occurs on twins with a high Schmid factor for both intra-plate and inter-plate twins in the hierarchical structure, resulting in a nonmodulated (NM) martensite composed only of favourable variants with [001]_NM orientation away from the compression axis. Moreover, the stress-induced martensitic transformation occurs at higher stress levels, undergoing a three-stage transformation from austenite to a twin variant pair and finally to a single variant with increasing compressive stress, and theoretical calculation shows that the corresponding crystallographic configuration is accommodated to the compression stress. The present research not only provides a comprehensive understanding of martensitic variant detwinning and martensitic transformation under compression stress, but also offers important guidelines for the mechanical training process of martensite.

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.

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.

Tunable Magnetocaloric Effect in Ni-Mn-Ga Microwires.

Project description:Magnetic refrigeration is of great interest due to its high energy efficiency, environmental friendliness and low cost. However, undesired hysteresis losses, concentrated working temperature interval (WTI) and poor mechanical stability are vital drawbacks that hinder its practical application. Off-stoichiometric Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys are capable of giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE) and tunable transformation temperatures. Here, by creating Ni-Mn-Ga microwires with diameter of 35-80 ?m using a melt-extraction technique, negligible hysteresis and relatively good mechanical stability are found due to the high specific surface area (SSA) that reduces incompatibility between neighboring grains. The high SSA also favors the element evaporation at high temperatures so that the transformation temperatures can be feasibly adjusted. Tunable magnetocaloric effect owing to different magneto-structural coupling states is realized by (i) composition design and subsequent tuning, which adjusts the temperature difference between the martensite transformation (MT) and the magnetic transition, and (ii) creation of gradient composition distribution state, which manipulates the MT range. Magnetic entropy change ?Sm ~-18.5?J?kg-1 K-1 with relatively concentrated WTI and WTI up to ~60?K with net refrigeration capacity ~240?J?kg-1 at 50?kOe are demonstrated in the present Ni-Mn-Ga microwires. This criterion is also applicable for other small-sized materials.

Focused Ion Beam-Induced Displacive Phase Transformation From Austenite to Martensite during Fabrication of Quenched and Partitioned Steel Micro-Pillar.

Project description:We report evidence of a displacive phase transformation from retained austenite to martensite during preparation of quenched and partitioned steel micro-pillars by using a focused ion beam (FIB) technique. The BCC phase produced by the FIB damage was identified as martensite. The invariant-plane strain surface relief associated with the martensitic transformation was observed in the retained austenite phase immediately after a FIB scan of the surface with the Ga+ ion beam. Use of a low acceleration voltage appears to lower the probability of the phase transformation, while a decrease of the acceleration voltage will result in an increase of the total milling time required to prepare a micro-pillar. This report addresses challenges related to the preparation of austenite micro-pillars by a conventional FIB technique.

Dataset on enhanced magnetic refrigeration capacity in Ni-Mn-Ga micro-particles.

Project description:The dataset presented in this paper is supporting the research article "Enhanced magnetic refrigeration capacity in Ni-Mn-Ga micro-particles" (Qian, et al., 2018) [1]. The martensite transformation temperature (Ms ) and the Curie point (Tc ) of the annealed alloys with nominal composition Ni55-xMn20+xGa25 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, atomic percent, labeled as A1, A2, A3 and A4, respectively) varied with x, yielding a temperature difference Tc -Mc of 7.2 K at x = 0.5 (A3). The magnetization difference (ΔM) between the austenite and martensite, the field dependence of transformation temperature (ΔT/ΔH) and the thermal hysteresis loss of A3 and the according stress relief annealing (SRA) particles were demonstrated. The isothermal magnetization curves of A3 and the SRA particles were measured in order to determine the magnetocaloric effect.

Crystallographic Characterization on Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga Alloys with Strong Preferred Orientation.

Project description:Heusler type Ni-Mn-Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys can demonstrate excellent magnetic shape memory effect in single crystals. However, such effect in polycrystalline alloys is greatly weakened due to the random distribution of crystallographic orientation. Microstructure optimization and texture control are of great significance and challenge to improve the functional behaviors of polycrystalline alloys. In this paper, we summarize our recent progress on the microstructure control in polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga alloys in the form of bulk alloys, melt-spun ribbons and thin films, based on the detailed crystallographic characterizations through neutron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. The presented results are expected to offer some guidelines for the microstructure modification and functional performance control of ferromagnetic shape memory alloys.

Stress-induced reverse martensitic transformation in a Ti-51Ni (at%) alloy aged under uniaxial stress.

Project description:Ti-51Ni (at%) alloys including coherent precipitates of Ti3Ni4 exhibits thermally-induced B2-R transformation. If the Ti3Ni4 is formed under tensile stress, it orientates preferentially so that its habit plane becomes perpendicular to the tensile axis. In such specimens, stress-induced reverse R-B2 transformation is reported to occur. In the present study, the stress-induced reverse R-B2 transformation behavior was studied by infrared camera and in situ X-ray analysis. The infrared camera observation revealed that the temperature of the specimen decreases homogeneously by the application of tensile stress within the resolution of the camera. The in situ X-ray analysis revealed that stress-induced reverse R-B2 transformation and rearrangement of variants of the R-phase occurs simultaneously in the specimen.

Magnetic field-induced rubber-like behavior in Ni-Mn-Ga particles/polymer composite.

Project description:Single crystalline Ni-Mn-Ga is well known as a prototype ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) exhibiting a giant magnetic field-induced strain (MFIS), up to 12%, due to the magnetically driven twin boundary rearrangement. The large stroke and fast magnetomechanical response make it important for actuators and sensors. Polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga is inexpensive and technologically easy accessible, but constrains from the grain boundaries inhibit the twin boundary motion, whereby a very low MFIS is observed. Here, we have shown for the first time that a polycrystalline Ni-Mn-Ga can be split into the magnetostrain-active single grains which, being specially assembled in a silicone polymer matrix, caused large and fully reversible MFIS of the resulting composite. We termed the unique reversibility of a large MFIS of the composite as the magnetic field-induced rubber-like behavior. The magnetostrain of individual particles was explored by the X-ray μCT 3D imaging. The results suggest novel solutions for development of the low cost magnetic actuators and sensors for haptic applications.

Reversible tuning of magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-Ga-Co films on ferroelectric PMN-PT substrates.

Project description:Tuning functional properties of thin caloric films by mechanical stress is currently of high interest. In particular, a controllable magnetisation or transition temperature is desired for improved usability in magnetocaloric devices. Here, we present results of epitaxial magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-Ga-Co thin films on ferroelectric Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)0.72Ti0.28O3 (PMN-PT) substrates. Utilizing X-ray diffraction measurements, we demonstrate that the strain induced in the substrate by application of an electric field can be transferred to the thin film, resulting in a change of the lattice parameters. We examined the consequences of this strain on the magnetic properties of the thin film by temperature- and electric field-dependent measurements. We did not observe a change of martensitic transformation temperature but a reversible change of magnetisation within the austenitic state, which we attribute to the intrinsic magnetic instability of this metamagnetic Heusler alloy. We demonstrate an electric field-controlled entropy change of about 31 % of the magnetocaloric effect - without any hysteresis.

Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni Oxide as a Highly Efficient Thermoelectric High-Entropy Alloy.

Project description:Among the existing materials for heat conversion, high-entropy alloys are of great interest due to the tunability of their functional properties. Here, we aim to produce single-phase high-entropy oxides composed of Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni-O through spark plasma sintering (SPS), testing their thermoelectric (TE) properties. This material was successfully obtained before via a different technique, which requires a very long processing time. Hence, the main target of this work is to apply spark plasma sintering, a much faster and scalable process. The samples were sintered in the temperature range of 1200-1300 °C. Two main phases were formed: rock salt-structured Fm3̅m and spinel-structured Fd3̅m. Comparable transport properties were achieved via the new approach: the highest value of the Seebeck coefficient reached -112.6 μV/K at room temperature, compared to -150 μV/K reported before; electrical properties at high temperatures are close to the properties of the single-phase material (σ = 0.2148 S/cm, σ ≈ 0.2009 S/cm reported before). These results indicate that SPS can be successfully applied to produce highly efficient TE high-entropy alloys in a fast and scalable way. Further optimization is needed for the production of single-phase materials, which are expected to exhibit an even better TE functionality.
