A cyclic damage-coupled cohesive zone model is proposed to describe the fatigue crack initiation and propagation at the interface between the coating and the substrate. Our results indicate that a high interfacial strength leads to a significant stress concentration owing to the increasing interfacial stiffness. Moreover, high interfacial strength delays interfacial crack propagation but promotes the accumulation of deformation energy in the substrate, which accelerates fatigue crack initiation in the substrate. This work shows two aspects of high interfacial strength and can provide new insights into coating design.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"65 1","pages":"2353 - 2362"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79748360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The triangular, square and rectangular copper/copper silicide nanostructures are deposited on silicon substrates with (111), (100) and (110) orientations respectively, by thermal evaporation of metallic copper at different substrate temperatures. Investigations confirm that the nanostructures consist of a pure copper layer on top of a copper silicide layer. The morphology and growth behaviour studies confirmed for the first time that the formation of well-defined structures and shapes are governed by the Si substrate orientation and the surface reconstruction of the Si planes. The copper silicide nanostructures are used in field emission applications and also serve as a template for the growth of carbon nano-fibre.","PeriodicalId":18232,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science and Technology","volume":"19 1","pages":"2341 - 2352"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74939665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For Mg–1.0Al–0.4Ca (wt-%, AX10) dilute alloy, decreasing extrusion temperature from 290°C to 260°C can inhibit the dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) process, and the yield strength (YS) is also increased from ∼266 ± 6 MPa to ∼309 ± 3 MPa. When increasing the Ca content, Mg–1.0Al–0.8Ca (wt-%, AX11), a higher density of the Al2Ca phase is dispersed at the grain boundaries, which can further restrict the growth of DRXed grains, only ∼1.0 µm. Consequently, the higher YS of ∼330 ± 5 MPa can be obtained.

The results were consistent with data on metallographic investigation of phase particle shape, counts, and distribution. It was found that the formation, quantitative distribution, and circularity of particles at the surface and in the centre of the bar depended on the processing temperature and temperature gradient between surface and centre and were defined with a scheme of stresses in the deformation zone. The values of strength properties for all bars obtained by RSR depended on the processing regimes, while plasticity (elongation to failure δ = 14%–20%) increased with the growth of processing temperature.

The influence of the RSR method is reflected in the nature of the distribution of dispersive particles in the matrix of alloy.
