Download or read book Microstructure and Properties of Materials written by James Chen-Min Li and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1996 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of an advanced textbook on microstructure and properties of materials. (The first volume is on aluminum alloys, nickel-based superalloys, metal matrix composites, polymer matrix composites, ceramics matrix composites, inorganic glasses, superconducting materials and magnetic materials). It covers titanium alloys, titanium aluminides, iron aluminides, iron and steels, iron-based bulk amorphous alloys and nanocrystalline materials.There are many elementary materials science textbooks, but one can find very few advanced texts suitable for graduate school courses. The contributors to this volume are experts in the subject, and hence, together with the first volume, it is a good text for graduate microstructure courses. It is a rich source of design ideas and applications, and will provide a good understanding of how microstructure affects the properties of materials.Chapter 1, on titanium alloys, covers production, thermomechanical processing, microstructure, mechanical properties and applications. Chapter 2, on titanium aluminides, discusses phase stability, bulk and defect properties, deformation mechanisms of single phase materials and polysynthetically twinned crystals, and interfacial structures and energies between phases of different compositions. Chapter 3, on iron aluminides, reviews the physical and mechanical metallurgy of Fe3Al and FeAl, the two important structural intermetallics. Chapter 4, on iron and steels, presents methodology, microstructure at various levels, strength, ductility and strengthening, toughness and toughening, environmental cracking and design against fracture for many different kinds of steels. Chapter 5, on bulk amorphous alloys, covers the critical cooling rate and the effect of composition on glass formation and the accompanying mechanical and magnetic properties of the glasses. Chapter 6, on nanocrystalline materials, describes the preparation from vapor, liquid and solid states, microstructure including grain boundaries and their junctions, stability with respect to grain growth, particulate consolidation while maintaining the nanoscale microstructure, physical, chemical, mechanical, electric, magnetic and optical properties and applications in cutting tools, superplasticity, coatings, transformers, magnetic recordings, catalysis and hydrogen storage.

Book Alloy Design and Characterization of       Strengthened Nickel based Superalloys for Additive Manufacturing

Download or read book Alloy Design and Characterization of Strengthened Nickel based Superalloys for Additive Manufacturing written by Jinghao Xu and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nickel-based superalloys, an alloy system bases on nickel as the matrix element with the addition of up to 10 more alloying elements including chromium, aluminum, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, and so on. Through the development and improvement of nickel-based superalloys in the past century, they are well proved to show excellent performance at the elevated service temperature. Owing to the combination of extraordinary high-temperature mechanical properties, such as monotonic and cyclic deformation resistance, fatigue crack propagation resistance; and high-temperature chemical properties, such as corrosion and oxidation resistance, phase stability, nickel-based superalloys are widely used in the critical hot-section components in aerospace and energy generation industries. The success of nickel-based superalloy systems attributes to both the well-tailored microstructures with the assistance of carefully doped alloying elements, and the intently developed manufacturing processes. The microstructure of the modern nickel-based superalloys consists of a two-phase configuration: the intermetallic precipitates (Ni,Co)3(Al,Ti,Ta) known as γ′ phase dispersed into the austenite γ matrix, which is firstly introduced in the 1940s. The recently developed additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, acting as the disruptive manufacturing process, offers a new avenue for producing the nickel-based superalloy components with complicated geometries. However, γ′ strengthened nickel-based superalloys always suffer from the micro-cracking during the AM process, which is barely eliminated by the process optimization. On this basis, the new compositions of γ′ strengthened nickel-based superalloy adapted to the AM process are of great interest and significance. This study sought to design novel γ′ strengthened nickel-based superalloys readily for AM process with limited cracking susceptibility, based on the understanding of the cracking mechanisms. A two-parameter model is developed to predict the additive manufacturability for any given composition of a nickel-based superalloy. One materials index is derived from the comparison of the deformation-resistant capacity between dendritic and interdendritic regions, while another index is derived from the difference of heat resistant capacity of these two spaces. By plotting the additive manufacturability diagram, the superalloys family can be categorized into the easy-to-weld, fairly-weldable, and non-weldable regime with the good agreement of the existed knowledge. To design a novel superalloy, a Cr-Co-Mo-W-Al-Ti-Ta-Nb-Fe-Ni alloy family is proposed containing 921,600 composition recipes in total. Through the examination of additive manufacturability, undesired phase formation propensity, and the precipitation fraction, one composition of superalloy, MAD542, out of the 921,600 candidates is selected. Validation of additive manufacturability of MAD542 is carried out by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). By optimizing the LPBF process parameters, the crack-free MAD542 part is achieved. In addition, the MAD542 superalloy shows great resistance to the post-processing treatment-induced cracking. During the post-processing treatment, extensive annealing twins are promoted to achieve the recrystallization microstructure, ensuring the rapid reduction of stored energy. After ageing treatment, up to 60-65% volume fraction of γ′ precipitates are developed, indicating the huge potential of γ′ formation. Examined by the high-temperature slow strain rate tensile and constant loading creep testing, the MAD542 superalloy shows superior strength than the LPBF processed and hot isostatic pressed plus heat-treated IN738LC superalloy. While the low ductility of MAD542 is existed, which is expected to be improved by modifying the post-processing treatment scenarios and by the adjusting building direction in the following stages of the Ph.D. research. MAD542 superalloy so far shows both good additive manufacturability and mechanical potentials. Additionally, the results in this study will contribute to a novel paradigm for alloy design and encourage more γ′-strengthened nickel-based superalloys tailored for AM processes in the future.

Book Processing  Microstructure  Mechanical Behavior and Deformation Mechanisms of Bulk Nanostructured Copper and Copper Alloys

Download or read book Processing Microstructure Mechanical Behavior and Deformation Mechanisms of Bulk Nanostructured Copper and Copper Alloys written by Haiming Wen and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bulk nanostructured (NS) metals, with structural units falling in the nanometer range, have emerged as a new class of materials. However, fabrication of artifact-free bulk NS metals with relatively large sample size still poses a challenge, the mechanical behavior needs to be further improved to achieve better combination of strength and ductility, and the fundamental understanding requires to be enhanced of the relationship between processing, microstructure and mechanical behavior. This dissertation selected Cu and Cu alloys as model materials to study processing, microstructure, mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of bulk NS metals. Bulk NS Cu and Cu alloys were fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), spark plasma sintering (SPS) of cryomilled powders, or by high-pressure torsion (HPT) of coarse-grained or cryomilled powders, in efforts to simultaneously achieve high strength and satisfactory ductility, and to deepen our fundamental understanding of the microstructure and deformation mechanisms that govern the mechanical behavior of bulk NS metals. The temperature at which ECAP is conducted was found to have significant effect on microstructure evolution and mechanical behavior of ultrafine-grained Cu processed by ECAP. A superior combination of strength and ductility was achieved when ECAP was performed at 523 K where discontinuous dynamic recrystallization induces a high fraction of equiaxed grains with a very low dislocation density. During SPS of cryomilled nanocrystalline (nc) Cu powders, the presence of very small amounts of O and N in the powders, which were introduced during cryomilling and handling, and the change of these impurities during SPS were demonstrated to significantly influence the densification response. A bulk NS Cu-Zn-Al alloy with ultrahigh strength was fabricated via SPS of cryomilled powders. The microstructure of the alloy was thoroughly characterized, and various strengthening contributions were quantified, including grain boundary, twin boundary, second-phase particle, dislocation and solid-solution strengthening, and the calculated overall strength achieved a reasonable agreement with the experimental strength. The twins in the cryomilled Cu-Zn-Al powders and sintered bulk samples were carefully investigated, in an effort to provide insight into the mechanisms governing the evolution of twins during SPS, including grain boundary migration, twin boundary migration, recrystallization and detwinning. HPT was applied to coarse-grained (CG) and nc Cu powders, with identical processing parameters. HPT of CG Cu powders resulted in exceptional grain refinement and increase in dislocation density, whereas significant grain growth, via grain rotation-induced grain coalescence, and decrease in dislocation density occurred during HPT of cryomilled nc Cu powders. Equilibrium structures were achieved under both conditions, with very similar stable grain sizes and dislocation densities, suggesting dynamic balances between deformation-induced grain refinement and grain growth, and between dislocation accumulation and dislocation annihilation.

Book excerpt: Nanocrystalline materials have experienced a great deal of attention in recent years, largely due to their impressive array of physical properties. In particular, nanocrystalline mechanical behavior has been of interest, as incredible strengths are predicted when grain size is reduced to the nanometer range. The vast majority of research to this point has focused on quantifying and understanding the grain size-dependence of strength, leading to the discovery of novel, grain boundary-dominated physics that begin to control deformation at extremely fine grain sizes. With the emergence of this detailed understanding of nanocrystalline deformation mechanisms, the opportunity now exists for studies that explore how other structural features affect mechanical properties in order to identify alternative strengthening mechanisms. In this thesis, we seek to extend our current knowledge of nanocrystalline structure-property relationships beyond just grain size, using combinations of structural characterization, mechanical testing, and atomistic simulations. Controlled experiments on Ni-W are first used to show that solid solution addition and the relaxation of nonequilibrium grain boundary state can dramatically affect the strength of nanocrystalline metals. Next, the sliding wear response of nanocrystalline Ni-W is investigated, to show how alloying and grain boundary structural state affect a more complex mechanical property. This type of mechanical loading also provides a strong driving force for structural evolution, which, in this case, is found to be beneficial. Mechanically-driven grain growth and grain boundary relaxation occur near the surface of the Ni-W samples during sliding, leading to a hardening effect that improves wear resistance and results in a deviation from Archard scaling. Finally, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to confirm that mechanical cycling alone can indeed relax grain boundary structure and strengthen nanocrystalline materials. In all of the cases discuss above, our observations can be directly connected to the unique deformation physics of nanocrystalline materials.
