Systematic microstructural analysis was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), atom probe tomography (APT), and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). Cryo-milled powder analysis, grain structure evolution after spark plasma sintering, dispersoid characteristics, and matrix/dispersoid interface structure analysis of the in-situ and ex-situ dispersoids within the high-entropy alloy (HEA) matrix were performed. In-situ and ex-situ dispersoid formations were observed in the Y2O3-added ODS-HEA, whereas the in-situ dispersoid formation was dominantly observed in the Y-alloyed ODS-HEA through the construction of a coherent interface relationship with complex chemical compositions. In-situ oxide dispersoids enhance the construction of ultrafine-grained structures up to approximately 300 nm in diameter. This study shows that the pre-alloying method, in which yttrium is alloyed, is efficient in achieving fine coherent dispersoids with an ultrafine-grained structure, resulting in a significant enhancement of the tensile strength of the CoCrFeMnNi HEA.","PeriodicalId":18731,"journal":{"name":"Materials Processing & Manufacturing eJournal","volume":"330 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73130380","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}

Compared with metals and alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) respond differently during machining due to the presence of different phases possessing different physical and mechanical properties. In the present study, machining behavior of Al6063-SiC composites has been investigated to assess the role of dispersing phase on machining characteristics. Composites with varying SiC content (4% and 8% by Wt.) were produced by stir casting. From the micro structural studies, decreased grain size was observed with increased SiC dispersion. Higher hardness was measured for the composite with 4% SiC. From the machining studies during turning experiments, the variations within the cutting forces was found to be higher for the composites compared with the base material. Cutting forces were also measured as increased with the increase of SiC dispersion. From the results, it can be understood that the presence of SiC significantly influence the machining behavior of Al6063-SiC composites which is a valid factor must be considered while performing turning operations.","PeriodicalId":18731,"journal":{"name":"Materials Processing & Manufacturing eJournal","volume":"44 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90483573","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}

In this study, we combine evidence from the experimental\u0000literature with a theoretical analysis of energetics to rationalize that not\u0000all steps in the reduction of CO2 are electrochemical. This insight\u0000enables us to create a selectivity map for two-electron products (carbon\u0000monoxide (CO) and formate) on elemental metal surfaces using only the CO and OH\u0000binding energies as descriptors.

The colony size obtained in the through-β-transus processing was 60 μm, much smaller than the minimum colony size of 130 μm that can be achieved in the conventional β processing. The colony refinement was attributed to the decreased size of the grain boundary α phase with increased variety of crystallographic orientations, which acted as nucleation sites for subsequent colony structures. By intercritical annealing of the lamellar microstructures in α+β two-phase region followed by water quenching, bi-lamellar microstructures composed of primary α lamellae and transformed β regions composed of fine secondary α plates were obtained, maintaining the same colony size as the lamellar precursors. The total elongation of bi-lamellar microstructure significantly improved from 3.4% to 18.6% with decreasing the colony size, while the high yield and tensile strength was independent of the colony size. SEM-EBSD characterization of the bi-lamellar microstructures at interrupted tensile strains clarified that deformation behaviors of the bi-lamellar microstructures after yielding were mainly controlled by micro-shear bands across transformed β regions, which eventually evolved into micro-cracks at higher tensile strains. It was considered that the strain compatibility accommodated by the differently aligned micro-shear bands formed within different colonies was the main reason for delaying tensile fracture in the bi-lamellar microstructure with the smaller colony size.","PeriodicalId":18731,"journal":{"name":"Materials Processing & Manufacturing eJournal","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82524796","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}
