MSC Marc is employed to optimize the sintering parameters of the HOP process. Benefited from the enhanced grain boundary sliding and plastic deformation resulting from the oscillation pressure, FGH4095 possesses a higher precipitation proportion of secondary γ′ phase with lower content of thermally induced porosity (TIP) and previous particle boundaries (PPBs) precipitated phases. Therefore, the room-temperature yield strength and ultimate tensile strength reach up to 1153 and 1433 MPa with an elongation of 10.46%. A ductile damage model has been established to further investigate the mechanical properties of FGH4095 prepared by the HOP process.

The \"heterostructure\" design is a promising strategy for developing high-performance materials. In this work, four orientation-based heterostructured materials were fabricated by modulating bulk Mg-2.9Y (wt%) alloy to a single-pass strain of 10% for five complete triaxial cyclic compression (TCC) cycles along planes A, B, and C, followed by an additional compression on plane A. This process was combined with the subsequent annealing at 200°C for 1 h, leading to the hard-oriented 10%-5 cycles and 10%-5 cycles-200°C/1 h materials together with the soft-oriented 10%-5 cycles+A and 10%-5 cycles+A-200°C/1 h materials. They were characterized by dense refined twins and fragmented grains embedded in coarse-grained matrix. Compared to the TCC-processed materials, the annealed materials showed more pronounced strengthening. The 10%-5 cycles+A-200°C/1 h material exhibited the optimal combination of strength and ductility, with the periodic segregation of Y atoms at dense twin boundaries strengthening the hard domains and increasing deformation incompatibility between the soft and hard domains. The geometrically necessary dislocations significantly accumulated at the twin boundaries, resulting in pronounced hetero-deformation induced (HDI) strengthening.

This paper adequately reviewed the heterogeneous deformation fundamentals, the microstructure characteristics and mechanical properties of various HSMs prepared by different processing methods. Meanwhile, we assess the mechanical behavior and influencing factors of the synergistic strengthening effect from the perspective of microscopic strain/stress, damage mechanism and key heterostructured parameters. In addition, the numerical simulations of HSMs are systematically revealed, which offers theoretical guidance for their quantitative design with the best mechanical properties.

In this study, we developed a multifunctional nanocomposite (GQDs@MPN) with reactive oxygen species scavenging properties. This nanocomposite consists of graphene quantum dots encapsulated within a metal-polyphenol network (GQDs@MPN) formed by physiological Co (II)-coordinated epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). GQDs@MPN effectively modulates the AD microenvironment by inhibiting Aβ<sub>42</sub> amyloidosis, attenuating oxidative stress, and regulating microglial activity. In vivo experiments demonstrated that GQDs@MPN, capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), significantly reduced Aβ<sub>42</sub> deposition in APP/PS1 mice. Additionally, GQDs@MPN could exert its anti-inflammatory function by scavenging intracellular ROS and regulating the transformation of microglia from M1 phenotype to M2 phenotype, thus alleviating neuroinflammation. The underlying molecular mechanism is the up-regulation of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) to clear ROS and subsequently inhibit the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. GQDs@MPN also effectively alleviated cognitive impairment and exhibited favorable biocompatibility in APP/PS1 mice.

However, it is well known that the enhancement in coercivity achievable through the GBD process appears to reach a limit. To overcome this limitation, it is essential to thoroughly understand the formation of the magnetically hardening matrix shells and the evolution of the grain boundary (GB) phases along the diffusion path. Here we present the microstructural and magnetic evolution of the Pr-Al-rich matrix shells and the GB phases along the diffusion path in the Pr<sub>80</sub>Al<sub>20</sub> GBD processed Nd‒La‒Ce‒Fe‒B magnets. Firstly, the Pr/total rare earth (TRE) ratio remains relatively constant in the Pr-Al-rich matrix shells from the magnet surface to an interior diffusion depth of ∼500 µm. The consistent Pr/TRE ratio identified within the matrix shells means that there is not a sustained increase in the nucleation field near the RE<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B matrix grain/GB interface. Secondly, from the magnet surface to an interior diffusion depth of ∼500 µm, the antiferromagnetic high-Al δ-type RE‒Fe‒Al phase at the GBs transforms to a ferromagnetic low-Al μ-type or amorphous RE‒Fe‒Al phase. The predominance of the ferromagnetic low-Al μ-type or amorphous RE‒Fe‒Al phase beyond this diffusion depth implies that, apart from this sub-surface region, there is a lack of magnetic isolation of the adjacent ferromagnetic RE<sub>2</sub>Fe<sub>14</sub>B matrix grains through most of the bulk magnet. These factors jointly contribute to constraining or limiting the coercivity enhancement. We discuss how the microstructural origins of the limits to the coercivity enhancement in the GBD processed magnets found here can enable future design approaches for producing thicker Nd‒La‒Ce‒Fe‒B magnets with higher coercivity.","PeriodicalId":16154,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Science & Technology","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144371082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
