The BG-L steel exhibits enhanced mechanical properties compared to conventional quenched and tempered (QT) steel. While the UFG-L steel demonstrates an outstanding combination of strength, ductility, and toughness. Furthermore, the UFG-L steels exhibit no ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) from room temperature (RT) to liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) and the Charpy impact energy remains as high as 314 J at LNT. The enhanced toughness at LNT can be attributed to the crack-arrester mechanism caused by grain-boundary delamination.","PeriodicalId":18291,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Letters","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142269899","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}

Results show that multiple slip is the dominant slip system rather than single slip system.

The microstructural evolution of the ceramic-metal composite during fabrication was studied in detail. Owing to the interactions between Co-rich nanoparticles coherent with the WC matrix and the dislocations and stacking faults inside WC grains, the composite exhibited high hardness and strength combined with exceptional fracture toughness.

Herein, we developed a new strategy of introducing β-Ti ductile zones in heterostructured (Cu@CNTs/TC4)+TC18 composites, which were synthesized using two-stepped ball milling, spark plasma sintering and hot rolling processes. Such composites are composed of TC18-coarse grain zones (CGZ) and (TiC+α'')-reinforced TC4-fine grain zones (FGZ). They achieve an exceptional high strength and high ductility, which are superior to those of TC4 alloys and homogeneous Cu@CNTs/TC4 composites. Heterogeneous interfacial microstructures of TC4-FGZ/TC18-CGZ play an important role in strengthening and toughening effects. The grain-coordinated deformation between TC18-CG and TC4-FG is also the key reason for achieving an exceptional ductility.","PeriodicalId":18291,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Letters","volume":"13 2","pages":"165-174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147883140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
