This book was released on 2017 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Multi-principal element (MPE) alloys, unlike traditional alloys, consist of five or more principal elements with near equi-atomic compositions creating a large new compositional space for exploring new alloy possibilities. However, designing MPE alloys with the desired phases, microstructures and properties is challenging task, and there is a demand for basic research for a better understanding of structure-processing-property relations in these alloys. In this Ph.D. research, different computational models and experiments were integrated to study phase formations, and mechanical properties of different MPE alloys. Density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations were used to determine crystal structures, phase stability, and plastic deformation mechanisms. A modified thermodynamic approach was developed to calculate the phase diagrams of MPE alloys, and the accuracy of this approach was tested against commercial software. Experimental casting and characterization, and literature data were used to validate modeling predictions. The phase diagram calculations of AlFeCoNiCu HEA showed coexistence of two phases at room temperature and stabilization of one phase above 1070 K at the equiatomic composition. The characterization experiments confirmed the crystal structures and composition of phases. To investigate the plastic deformation mechanisms and ductilities of CoCrFeNi-based HEAs, unstable and intrinsic stacking fault and unstable twinning energies were determined by DFT calculations. Finally, the effects of interstitial carbon on the phase formations in Al[sub x]FeCoCrNiCu HEAs were investigated, showing formation of different possible carbides and inter-granular graphite"--Abstract, page iv.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To create and design novel structural materials with enhanced creep-resistance, fundamental studies have been conducted on high-entropy alloys (HEAs), using (1) thermodynamic calculations, (2) mechanical tests, (3) neutron diffraction, (4) characterization techniques, and (5) crystal-plasticity finite-element modeling (CPFEM), to explore future candidates for next-generation power plants. All the constituent binary and ternary systems of the Al-Cr-Cu-Fe-Mn-Ni and Al-Co-Cr- Fe-Ni systems were thermodynamically modeled within the whole composition range. Comparisons between the calculated phase diagrams and literature data are in good agreement. The Al[x subscript]CrCuFeMnNi HEAs have disordered [face-centered-cubic (FCC) + body-centered-cubic (BCC)] crystal structures. Excessive alloying of the Al element results in the change of both microstructural and mechanical properties in Al[x subscript]CoCrFeNi HEAs. After homogenization, the Al0.3CoCrFeNi material is a pure FCC solid solution. After aging at 700 °C for 500 hours, the optimal microstructure combinations, the FCC matrix, needle-like B2 [ordered BCC] phase within grains, and granular [sigma] phase along the grain boundary, is achieved for Al0.3CoCrFeNi. The chemical elemental partitioning of FCC, BCC, B2, and [sigma] phases at different temperatures, before and after mechanical tests, in Al-Cr-Cu-Fe-Mn-Ni and Al-Co-Cr-Fe-Ni systems are quantitatively characterized by both synchrotron X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction with levitation, scanning-electron microscopy (SEM), advanced atom-probe tomography (APT), and transmission-electron microscopy (TEM). In-situ neutron-diffraction experiments were conducted to study the strengthening effect of the B2 phase directly. The results show that the creep behavior of Al0.3CoCrFeNi is superior to conventional alloys, and the heat treatment introduces the secondary B2 phase into the FCC matrix, which increases the yielding strength, decreases the ductility, and diminishes the serrated flow during compression tests at high temperatures. In summary, the outcomes of the development of the HEAs with creep resistance include: (1) Suitable candidates, for the application to boilers and steam and gas turbines at temperatures above 760 °C and a stress of 35 MPa. (2) Fundamental understanding on the precipitate stability and deformation mechanisms of both single-phase and precipitate-strengthened alloys at room and elevated temperatures, and (3) The demonstration of an integrated approach, coupling modeling and focused experiments, to identify HEAs that outperform conventional alloys for high-temperature applications.

Download or read book Experimental Validation of the CALPHAD Approach Applied to Multi principle Element Alloys written by Nathan J. Bryant and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a recent area of research in materials science. Their namesake is because their high entropy of mixing due to multiple metallic elements in a near equimolar ratio. The high entropy of mixing is supposed to suppress unwanted, brittle, ordered intermetallic phases, and form a single, randomly mixed solid solution phase. This phenomena makes HEAs a good candidate for structural applications. However, this entropy of mixing may not be enough to suppress all intermetallic phases. For this reason, the CALculation of PHAse Diagrams (CALPHAD) approach is being explored to predict phase equilibrium in HEAs. This study seeks to experimentally validate the current CALPHAD approach when applied to HEAs. Five alloy compositions were characterized with SEM, EDS, and XRD in the as-cast condition and after equilibrium heat treatments of 500hr at 1000°C and 1000hr at 750°C. Phases detected in the experimental alloys were compared with the CALPHAD predicted equilibrium phases. When considerations are taken, the current CALPHAD approach is adequate in predicting phase equilibrium for HEAs.

Download or read book The Physics of Phonons written by Gyaneshwar P. Srivastava and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been few books devoted to the study of phonons, a major area of condensed matter physics. The Physics of Phonons is a comprehensive theoretical discussion of the most important topics, including some topics not previously presented in book form. Although primarily theoretical in approach, the author refers to experimental results wherever possible, ensuring an ideal book for both experimental and theoretical researchers. The author begins with an introduction to crystal symmetry and continues with a discussion of lattice dynamics in the harmonic approximation, including the traditional phenomenological approach and the more recent ab initio approach, detailed for the first time in this book. A discussion of anharmonicity is followed by the theory of lattice thermal conductivity, presented at a level far beyond that available in any other book. The chapter on phonon interactions is likewise more comprehensive than any similar discussion elsewhere. The sections on phonons in superlattices, impure and mixed crystals, quasicrystals, phonon spectroscopy, Kapitza resistance, and quantum evaporation also contain material appearing in book form for the first time. The book is complemented by numerous diagrams that aid understanding and is comprehensively referenced for further study. With its unprecedented wide coverage of the field, The Physics of Phonons will be indispensable to all postgraduates, advanced undergraduates, and researchers working on condensed matter physics.

Book excerpt: This book draws on the latest research to discuss the history and development of high-entropy alloys and ceramics in bulk, film, and fiber form. High-entropy materials have recently been developed using the entropy of mixing and entropy of configuration of materials, and have proven to exhibit unique properties superior to those of conventional materials. The field of high-entropy alloys was born in 2004, and has since been developed for both scientific and engineering applications. Although there is extensive literature, this field is rapidly transforming. This book highlights the cutting edge of high-entropy materials, including their fundamentals and applications. Above all, it reflects two major milestones in their development: the equi-atomic ratio single-phase high-entropy alloys; and the non-equi-atomic ratio dual-phase high-entropy alloys.

This book was released on 2011-08-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armor plays a significant role in the protection of warriors. During the course of history, the introduction of new materials and improvements in the materials already used to construct armor has led to better protection and a reduction in the weight of the armor. But even with such advances in materials, the weight of the armor required to manage threats of ever-increasing destructive capability presents a huge challenge. Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications explores the current theoretical and experimental understanding of the key issues surrounding protection materials, identifies the major challenges and technical gaps for developing the future generation of lightweight protection materials, and recommends a path forward for their development. It examines multiscale shockwave energy transfer mechanisms and experimental approaches for their characterization over short timescales, as well as multiscale modeling techniques to predict mechanisms for dissipating energy. The report also considers exemplary threats and design philosophy for the three key applications of armor systems: (1) personnel protection, including body armor and helmets, (2) vehicle armor, and (3) transparent armor. Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications recommends that the Department of Defense (DoD) establish a defense initiative for protection materials by design (PMD), with associated funding lines for basic and applied research. The PMD initiative should include a combination of computational, experimental, and materials testing, characterization, and processing research conducted by government, industry, and academia.
