A novel twinning mechanism involving a local fcc → hcp transformation at the medium deformation stage was discovered, which had not been hitherto reported in HEAs. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy revealed the conversion of a pre-twinned ε-martensite-like phase, featuring a local hcp structure, into a stable three-layer twin lamella through the nucleation of new SFs in between pre-existing ones. Additionally, as deformation progressed, the Niewzcas and Saada's pole mechanism of twinning was simultaneously activated, resulting in the formation of nano-twins within the HEA structure at higher deformation stages. The activation of both twinning mechanisms was analyzed by considering the concept of effective stacking fault energy, and stacking fault and twin fault probabilities, calculated through X-ray diffraction analysis at each deformation stage. Finally, the activation energy associated with dislocation-SFs and twin boundary interactions, as well as their respective influences on the strain-hardening behavior of the HEA at each deformation stage, were thoroughly investigated using thermally activated parameters obtained from cyclic stress relaxation experiments.","PeriodicalId":238,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142840750","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}

Herein we investigate O diffusion in dilute Ni-based alloys Ni<sub>30</sub>VaXO by density functional theory (DFT) based transition state theory using a vacancy (Va) modified mechanism, where X represents 22 alloying elements. The diffusion jump rates are predicted by DFT-based phonon calculations and the quasiharmoinc approach (QHA). It is found that the reactive elements (e.g., Y, Hf, Al, and Cr) that form oxides easily increase O diffusivity while the noble Pt-group elements (e.g., Pt, Pd, Ir, and Rh) that are difficult to oxidize decrease O diffusivity in Ni-based alloys. These results indicate that the bonding strength between X and O, determinable by Ellingham diagram, plays a critical role in affecting O diffusion in Ni. Correlation analysis by means of linear fitting, sequential feature selection, and Shapley value indicates that O diffusivity in Ni<sub>30</sub>VaXO connects closely to the electronic structures of alloying elements X, such as work function, electronegativity, and valence electrons.

The objective is to enable quantitative predictions of properties with high-accuracy and explore new steels. The pipeline includes a materials language encoder, named SteelBERT, and a multimodal deep learning framework that maps the composition and text sequence of complex fabrication processes to mechanical properties. We demonstrate high accuracy on mechanical properties, including yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), and elongation (EL) by predicting determination coefficients (R<sup>2</sup>) reaching 78.17% (±3.40%), 82.56% (±1.96%), and 81.44% (±2.98%) respectively. Further, through an additional fine-tuning strategy for the design of specific steels with small datasets, we show how the performance can be refined.

This work used an automated machine learning (ML) model to explore high-entropy superalloys (HESAs) with coherent γ' nanoprecipitates in the FCC-γ matrix. The database samples were firstly preprocessed via the domain-knowledge before ML. Both autogluon and genetic algorithm methods were applied to establish the relationship between the alloy composition and yield strength and to deal with the optimization problem in ML. Thus, the ML model can not only predict the strength with a high accuracy (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup> > 95 %), but also design compositions efficiently with desired property in multi-component systems. Novel HESAs with targeted strengths and densities were predicted by ML and then validated by a series of experiments. It is found that the experimental results are well consistent with the predicted properties, as evidenced by the fact that the designed Ni-5.82Fe-15.34Co-2.53Al-2.99Ti-2.90Nb-15.97Cr-2.50Mo (wt.%) HESA has a yield strength of 1346 MPa at room temperature and 1061 MPa at 1023 K and a density of 7.98 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. Moreover, it exhibits superior creep resistance with a rupture lifetime of 149 h under 480 MPa at 1023 K, outperforming most conventional wrought superalloys. Additionally, the coarsening rate of γ' nanoprecipitates in these alloys is extremely slow at 1023 K, showing a prominent microstructural stability. The strengthening and deformation mechanisms were further discussed.

In this study, we try to solve this problem by examining the room temperature creep of a Fe-24Cr-19Ni-based Type310S austenitic stainless steel uniformly charged with 9000 at. ppm solute H in a pressurized gaseous H<sub>2</sub> environment. Stress-dip test to decompose the flow stress into effective (thermal) and internal (athermal) stresses, as well as a brief analysis of dislocation structure development in deformed uncharged and H-charged samples by electron channeling contrast imaging and hardness measurement, were supplementally employed. It is emphasized that solute H atoms consistently act as short-range obstacles hindering the movement of dislocations and thereby causes significant solid solution-hardening. Nevertheless, two opposite H-effects to accelerate and retard the creep rate were macroscopically identified depending on whether the stress level applied to H-charged specimens is above or below the flow stress under non-charged condition. These newly found, seemingly contradicting phenomena were interpreted based on the stress-dependent change of the rate-controlling mechanisms predominating thermally activated dislocation motion. Primary rate-controlling obstacles are H atoms themselves when creep acceleration manifests at high stress, while H atoms, other alloying elements, and forest dislocations cooperatively work to retard creep under low stress. The potential model of dislocation motion under the presence of these multiple obstacle types is finally proposed.","PeriodicalId":238,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142832058","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}

Here, high-resolution acoustic emission (AE) measurements during <em>in situ</em> microcompression of Ni single-crystal micropillars are used to reveal new insights into the rapid deformation dynamics of dislocation avalanches. Spectral analysis of the AE signals uncovers multiple short waves during individual strain bursts, exposing a rich landscape of intermittent plasticity that was previously hidden. Our analysis identifies distinct acoustic signatures that correlate with various stages of deformation: early-stage large avalanches generate strong AE bursts, while later stages characterized by denser dislocation networks emit AE signals of lower amplitude. Notably, given the used sensor, a consistent AE frequency band ranging from 30 to 50 kHz is observed across all recorded avalanches, directly linking this spectral feature to the kinematics of dislocations moving through the crystal lattice. These findings provide a non-destructive characterization approach of dislocation dynamics during the deformation of bulk metals and establish quantitative connections between defect dynamics and macroscopic deformation behavior. More broadly, this work highlights the potential for AE-based techniques to provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms of plasticity in crystalline materials.","PeriodicalId":238,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823204","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}
