Characteristic parameters governing the transformation kinetics are determined; the latter is studied with particular emphasis on the Avrami exponent temporal behavior. It is shown that the surface-nucleated transformation qualitatively differs from the bulk-nucleated one at large values of the characteristic parameters due to the one-dimensional radial growth of the new phase occurring after the complete transformation of the surface itself at the early stage of the process. This effect also manifests itself in the considered ensemble of size-distributed particles and in the grain-boundary nucleated transformations. The logarithmic normal distribution inherent for the particles obtained by grinding is employed for numerical calculations and shown to stretch temporally the volume-fraction and Avrami-exponent dependences for the ensemble of identical particles. A new model for grain-boundary nucleated transformations alternative to the Cahn model of random planes is offered; it is based on the ensemble of size-distributed spherical particles with the possibility for a growing nucleus to cross grain boundaries. The kinetics of this process is shown to be governed by the same characteristic parameter, as for a single particle, and qualitatively differs from the Cahn-model one. In particular, the logarithmic volume-fraction plot at large values of the governing parameter ends by a characteristic bend observed on experimental curves for the crystallization of bulk metallic glasses. This peculiarity together with the form of the plot as a whole directly indicates to the grain (polycluster) structure of metallic glasses and nucleation at intercluster boundaries.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73308905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter allows for developing alternative concepts for microstructure design. In order to explore the phase transformations in these kinetic regimes, we combine nanocalorimetry with time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Nanocalorimetry allows us to perform thermal analysis of ignition as well as the reaction runaway and to develop necessary and mandatory quantitative criterions for ignition. In order to trace the temporal phase evolution, we use time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction. We heat the Al/Ni multilayers with 5000 K/s and find that Ni starts to diffuse into the Al layer at 271 °C. Ignition occurs, dependent on the bilayer thickness, at about 400 °C in the solid state and atomic diffusion is revealed as the dominating mechanism. During the runaway, samples heat up in four stages with maximal 106 K/s to 1100 °C. Ni2Al3 is the first phase to form which starts to nucleate once Al melts. The majority of the intermetallic phase grows after the runaway reaction in the fourth stage and reaches its maximum during cooling. This trend of the temporal phase evolution eventually enables us to propose a mechanism exhibiting conceptual similarities with the exothermic dissolution mechanism recently suggested for self-sustaining reaction fronts in Al/Ni multilayers.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73081286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The substantial grain refinement in the Ti-inoculated 2024 alloy was attributed to the in-situ formation of Al3Ti nanoparticles with a L12 ordered structure, which formed a coherent interface with Al matrix and therefore significantly promoted the heterogeneous nucleation of the α-Al during solidification of melt pools in the SLM process. After a conventional T6 heat treatment, this SLMed alloy exhibited a superior balance of strength and ductility (tensile strength was up to 432 ± 20 MPa and elongation of 10 ± 0.8%), which was comparable to its wrought counterpart.

Cryogenic irradiation resulted in small defect clusters and faulted dislocation loops as large as 12 nm in FCC CSAs. With thermal diffusion suppressed at cryogenic temperatures, defect densities were lower in all CSAs than in their less compositionally complex reference materials indicating that point defect accumulation is reduced during the displacement cascade stage. High temperature irradiation of the two FCC CSA resulted in the formation of interstitial dislocation loops which by 2 dpa grew to an average size of 27 nm in Cr18Fe27Mn27Ni28 and 10 nm in Cr15Fe35Mn15Ni35.

However, presence of non linear relationship between output power of turbine and its primary and secondary parameters imposes restrictions to predict exact power generated. In this work wind power curve modelling is accomplished using different robust linear techniques that reduces the effects of outliers and provides precise results in terms of power generation. Mean Absolute Error(MAE), Root Mean Square Error(RMSE), and R^2 score were used as a measure of approximation method accuracy. Since above metrics doesn't provide any information about fitted model insights like overfiiting and underfitting, so bias and variance are considered as the two important aspects that clearly assesses model complexity. By decomposing the MSE into bias and variance a clear insight about model structure is obtained with a potential way with regard to which error component is likely to contribute more degradation of model performance.","PeriodicalId":18255,"journal":{"name":"MatSciRN: Process & Device Modeling (Topic)","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85694314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
