Grain growth stagnation at 525 °C (0.87 T<sub>m</sub>, melting point) was observed in a Mg-4Y-3RE alloy fabricated by additive friction stir deposition (AFSD), a novel solid-state additive manufacturing technology. The AFSD processing produced a UFG microstructure and two major second phases, Mg<sub>41</sub>RE<sub>5</sub> and nanoparticles containing Y and O. After solid solution treatment (SST) at 525 °C for 72 h, no noticeable grain growth occurred. While Mg<sub>41</sub>RE<sub>5</sub> particles dissolved into the matrix within 4 h of SST, the nanoparticles remained stable and unaltered. The observed grain growth stagnation is attributed to Zener pinning by these thermally stable nanoparticles. These new findings offer a novel approach to designing UFG materials with exceptional thermal stability for high-temperature applications.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857838","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}

In this work, we present a surface emphasized multi-task crystal graph convolutional neural network (SEM-CGCNN) to predict multiple surface properties simultaneously from crystal structures. The model is evaluated on a dataset of 3526 surface energies and work functions of binary magnesium intermetallics obtained through first-principles calculations, and obvious improvements are observed both in efficiency and accuracy over the original CGCNN model. By transferring the pre-trained model to the datasets of pure metals and other intermetallics, the fine-tuned SEM-CGCNN outperforms learning from scratch and can be further applied to other surface properties and materials systems.

Experiments were carried out at 25∼300 °C, including uniaxial tension and compression. The strength is observed to decrease non-linearly as the temperature increases. Thermal softening effect is not significant when the temperature is lower than 200 °C, but the strength decreases dramatically at high temperature than 250 °C. Tension-compression asymmetry and anisotropy are observed to be strongly and nonlinearly dependent on strain and temperature. The temperature effect is taken into account in a combined Swift-Voce (SVT) model to predict the temperature-dependent strain hardening behavior with a higher accuracy than the traditional Johnson-Cook and Zerilli-Armstrong equations. An analytical Yoon2014 (A-Yoon2014) yield function is established to capture the evolving anisotropic-asymmetric behavior with respect to strain and temperature. The predicted force-stroke curves of the A-Yoon2014+SVT model are closer to the experimental results of the three-point bending process than the numerical results of the original Yoon2014+SVT model.

BAG powder was synthesized using the sol-gel method to ensure a fine distribution within the Mg/CNTs matrix. Mg/1.5 wt.% CNT composites were reinforced with BAG at weight fractions of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt.% using spark plasma sintering at 450 °C and 50 MPa after homogenization via ball milling. The cellular bioactivity of these nanocomposites was evaluated using human osteoblast-like cells and adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. The proliferation and attachment of MG-63 cells were assessed and visualized using the methylthiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay and SEM, while AD-MSC differentiation was measured using alkaline phosphatase activity assays. Histograms were also generated to visualize the diameter distributions of particles in SEM images using image processing techniques. The Mg/CNTs/0.5 wt.% BAG composite demonstrated optimal mechanical properties, with compressive strength, yield strength, and fracture strain of 259.75 MPa, 180.25 MPa, and 31.65 %, respectively. Machine learning models, including CNN, LSTM, and GRU, were employed to predict stress-strain relationships across varying BAG amounts, aiming to accurately model these curves without requiring extensive physical experiments. As shown by contact angle measurements, enhanced hydrophilicity promoted better cell adhesion and proliferation. Furthermore, corrosion resistance improved with a higher BAG content. This study concludes that Mg/CNTs composites reinforced with BAG concentrations below 1.0 wt.% offer promising biodegradable implant materials for orthopedic applications, featuring adequate load-bearing capacity and improved corrosion resistance.","PeriodicalId":16214,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnesium and Alloys","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848857","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}

In this work, considering polycrystalline Mg, we performed comprehensive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate deformation twinning under uniaxial tension and compression loading. An algorithm has been developed and implemented to identify the active twin variants of three operating twin modes during deformation. Sharp contrast between tension and compression loading in terms of twin patterns and twin growth was observed, attributed to difference in twin variant activation and twin-twin interaction under the two loading conditions.
