Project description:Quantitative and well-targeted design of modern alloys is extremely challenging due to their immense compositional space. When considering only 50 elements for compositional blending the number of possible alloys is practically infinite, as is the associated unexplored property realm. In this paper, we present a simple property-targeted quantitative design approach for atomic-level complexity in complex concentrated and high-entropy alloys, based on quantum-mechanically derived atomic-level pressure approximation. It allows identification of the best suited element mix for high solid-solution strengthening using the simple electronegativity difference among the constituent elements. This approach can be used for designing alloys with customized properties, such as a simple binary NiV solid solution whose yield strength exceeds that of the Cantor high-entropy alloy by nearly a factor of two. This study provides general design rules that enable effective utilization of atomic level information to reduce the immense degrees of freedom in compositional space without sacrificing physics-related plausibility.

Project description:Molecular dynamics is applied to explore the deformation mechanism and crystal structure development of the AlCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys under nanoimprinting. The influences of crystal structure, alloy composition, grain size, and twin boundary distance on the mechanical properties are carefully analyzed. The imprinting load indicates that the highest loading force is in ascending order with polycrystalline, nano-twinned (NT) polycrystalline, and monocrystalline. The change in alloy composition suggests that the imprinting force increases as the Al content in the alloy increases. The reverse Hall-Petch relation found for the polycrystalline structure, while the Hall-Petch and reverse Hall-Petch relations are discovered in the NT-polycrystalline, which is due to the interactions between the dislocations and grain/twin boundaries (GBs/TBs). The deformation behavior shows that shear strain and local stress are concentrated not only around the punch but also on GBs and adjacent to GBs. The slide and twist of the GBs play a major in controlling the deformation mechanism of polycrystalline structure. The twin boundary migrations are detected during the nanoimprinting of the NT-polycrystalline. Furthermore, the elastic recovery of material is insensitive to changes in alloy composition and grain size, and the formability of the pattern is higher with a decrease in TB distance.

Project description:We revisit the meaning of stacking fault energy (SFE) and the assumptions of equilibrium dissociation of lattice dislocations in concentrated alloys. SFE is a unique value in pure metals. However, in alloys beyond the dilute limit, SFE has a distribution of values depending on the local atomic environment. Conventionally, the equilibrium distance between partial dislocations is determined by a balance between the repulsive elastic interaction between the partial dislocations and a unique value for SFE. This assumption is used to determine SFE from experimental measurements of dislocation splitting distances in metals and alloys, often contradicting computational predictions. We use atomistic simulations in a model NiCo alloy to study the dislocation dissociation process in a range of compositions with positive, zero, and negative average SFE and surprisingly observe a stable, finite splitting distance in all cases at low temperatures. We then compute the decorrelation stress and examine the balance of forces on the partial dislocations, considering the local effects on SFE, and observe that even the upper bound of SFE distribution alone cannot satisfy the force balance in some cases. Furthermore, we show that in concentrated solid solutions, the resisting force caused by interaction of dislocations with the local solute environment becomes a major force acting on partial dislocations. Here, we show that the presence of a high solute/dislocation interaction, which is not easy to measure and neglected in experimental measurements of SFE, renders the experimental values of SFE unreliable.

Project description:Recently developed high-entropy alloys (HEAs) consisting of multiple principal elements represent a new field of metallurgy and have demonstrated appealing properties for a wide range of applications. Using ab initio alloy theory, we reveal the alloying effect on the elastic properties and the ideal tensile strength (ITS) in the [001] direction of four body-centered cubic (bcc) refractory HEAs based on Zr, V, Ti, Nb, and Hf. We find that these HEAs show high elastic anisotropy and large positive Cauchy pressure, suggesting good extrinsic ductility. Starting from ZrNbHf, it is found that the ITS decreases with equimolar Ti addition. On the other hand, if both Ti and V are added to ZrNbHf, the ITS is enhanced by about 42%. An even more captivating effect is the ITS increase by about 170%, if Ti and V are substituted for Hf. The alloying effect on the ITS is explained by the d-band filling. An intrinsic brittle-to-ductile transition is found in terms of the failure mode under uniaxial tension. These investigations suggest that intrinsically ductile HEAs with high ideal strength can be achieved by controlling the proportion of group four elements to group five elements.

Project description:In this work, the microstructural evolution and magnetic performance of the melt-spun amorphous and amorphous-crystalline Fe26.7Co26.7Ni26.7Si8.9B11.0 high-entropy alloys (HEAs) during crystallization were investigated, respectively. Upon heating fully amorphous ribbons, a metastable BCC supersaturated solid solution together with a little Ni31Si12 crystals first precipitated and then the (Fe,Co)₂B crystals formed until the full crystallization was achieved. With further increasing temperature after full crystallization, a polymorphic transformation from a metastable BCC phase to two types of FCC solid solutions occurred. For the amorphous-crystalline HEAs, the dominant crystallization products were the metastable FCC but not BCC crystals. During crystallization, the primary metastable FCC crystals first transform into the metastable BCC crystals and then the newly-generated BCC phase transforms into two types of FCC phases with further increasing temperature. This temperature dependence of the gradual polymorphic transformation results in the change of magnetic properties of the present high-entropy amorphous alloys.

Project description:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) with soft magnetic properties are one of the new candidate soft magnetic materials which are usually used under an alternating current (AC) magnetic field. In this work, the AC soft magnetic properties are investigated for FeCoNixCuAl (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.75) HEAs. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) show that the alloy consists of two phases, namely a face-centred cubic (FCC) phase and a body-centred cubic (BCC) phase. With increasing Ni content, the FCC phase content increased. Further research shows that the AC soft magnetic properties of these alloys are closely related to their phase constitution. Increasing the FCC phase content contributes to a decrease in the values of AC remanence (AC Br), AC coercivity (AC Hc) and AC total loss (Ps), while it is harmful to the AC maximum magnetic flux density (AC Bm). Ps can be divided into two parts: AC hysteresis loss (Ph) and eddy current loss (Pe). With increasing frequency f, the ratio of Ph/Ps decreases for all samples. When f ≤ 150 Hz, Ph/Ps > 70%, which means that Ph mainly contributes to Ps. When f ≥ 800 Hz, Ph/Ps < 40% (except for the x = 1.0 sample), which means that Pe mainly contributes to Ps. At the same frequency, the ratio of Ph/Ps decreases gradually with increasing FCC phase content. The values of Pe and Ph are mainly related to the electrical resistivity (ρ) and the AC Hc, respectively. This provides a direction to reduce Ps.

Project description:Microstructural phase evolution during melting and casting depends on the rate of cooling, the collective mobility of constituent elements, and binary constituent pairs. Parameters used in mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering, the initial structure of binary alloy pairs, are some of the factors that influence phase evolution in powder-metallurgy-produced HEAs. Factors such as powder flowability, laser power, powder thickness and shape, scan spacing, and volumetric energy density (VED) all play important roles in determining the resulting microstructure in additive manufacturing technology. Large lattice distortion could hinder dislocation motion in HEAs, and this could influence the microstructure, especially at high temperatures, leading to improved mechanical properties in some HEAs. Mechanical properties of some HEAs can be influenced through solid solution hardening, precipitation hardening, grain boundary strengthening, and dislocation hardening. Despite the HEA system showing reliable potential engineering properties if commercialized, there is a need to examine the effects that processing routes have on the microstructure in relation to mechanical properties. This review discusses these effects as well as other factors involved.

Project description:The present work exhibits the effects of Sn addition on the magnetic properties and microstructure of FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) high-entropy alloys (HEAs). The results show all the samples consist of a mixed structure of face-centered-cubic (FCC) phase and body-centered-cubic (BCC) phase. The addition of Sn promotes the formation of BCC phase, and it also affects the shape of Cu-rich nano-precipitates in BCC matrix. It also shows that the Curie temperatures (Tc) of the FCC phase and the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) HEAs increase greatly while the remanence (Br) decreases after the addition of Sn into FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8 HEA. The thermomagnetic curves indicate that the phases of the FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) HEAs will transform from FCC with low Tc to BCC phase with high Tc at temperature of 600-700 K. This work provides a new idea for FeCoNi(CuAl)0.8Snx (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) HEAs for their potential application as soft magnets to be used at high temperatures.
