Abstract
Refining effect of B4C nanoparticles in ZL108 alloy on Fe-rich phase was studied in this work. It was observed that B4C nanoparticles apparently refines the size of the Fe-rich phases and partially transforms Fe-rich phases morphology from hollow polyhedron to petal-like shape. The DSC results show that B4C nanoparticles does not affect the initial nucleation temperature of the Fe-rich phase. However, the addition of B4C nanoparticles to ZL108 alloy inhibits the growth of Fe-rich phase. The TEM results confirm that the addition of B4C nanoparticles alters the lattice parameter of Fe-rich phase due to incorporation of C atoms, thereby suppressing the growth of the Fe-rich phase and ultimately leading to its refinement. From the perspective of fracture behavior, the addition of B4C nanoparticles remarkably reduces the stress concentration of Fe-rich phase, and the elongation of the alloy increases by 25.3%. These findings provide a new perspective for further research and development to refine Fe-rich phase.
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
