For example, some specimens were heated at 1080oC for 5 min, then cooled, polished and observed by EBSD, whose procedure was repeated for 6 times. Highly irregular growth of Goss grains produced island and peninsular matrix grains. Once matrix grains became island or peninsular grains, they shrank much faster than before. This means that these grains were not formed by their low grain boundary mobility but formed by solid-state wetting. Also, grains trapped by impingement of abnormally-growing Goss grains shrank much faster.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133875848","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}

Here, we use geometric alignment and density-based clustering algorithms to quantitatively describe the atomic structure and the degree of order in the simulated liquid state for four binary alloy systems. We show that each liquid is comprised of a surprisingly small number of characteristic atomic clusters (6-8 motifs in the systems studied), and that measurable order in metallic alloys extends far into the liquid state. The data suggests the extent of order is inversely correlated to the experimentally-observed glass-forming ability (GFA). The broad applicability of this technique to both good glass-forming systems (Cu-Zr, Ni-Nb) and poor glass-forming systems (Al-Sm, Au-Si) suggests that order in the liquid could be used as a coarse identifier of high-GFA compositions within an alloy system. This method both improves our fundamental understanding of why certain alloys are better glass-formers than others and provides an interesting a priori method for identification of potential glass-forming alloys.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115465667","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}

To improve the low strength and brittle nature of pure Zn, small amounts of alloying element Mn (0.1, 0.4 and 0.8 wt. %) were added into Zn to fabricate binary Zn-Mn alloys. An extremely high elongation (83.96 ± 2.36%) was achieved in the resulting Zn-0.8wt.%Mn alloy. Moreover, Zn-Mn alloys displayed significantly improved cytocompatibility as compared to pure Zn, according to cell proliferation and morphology analyses. More importantly, a significantly improved osteogenic activity was verified after adding Mn regarding ALP activity and osteogenic expression. Furthermore, Zn-0.8wt.%Mn alloy scaffolds were implanted into the rat femoral condyle for bone defect repairing with pure Ti as control. Enhanced osteogenic activities were confirmed in Zn-0.8Mn alloy in contrast to pure Ti based on Micro-CT and histological results, and favorable in vivo biosafety of Zn-0.8Mn alloy was verified by H&E staining and blood tests. The exceptional mechanical performance and excellent osteogenic capability render Zn-Mn alloy a promising candidate material in the treatment of bone defects or fracture repair.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134174879","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}

A bainite structure with about 40 % volume fraction of retained austenite was successfully obtained by austempering. Tensile testing at room temperature revealed a high strength of 1.3 GPa with adequate elongation. A change in texture of retained austenite brought about by tensile deformation to several strains was measured. Deformation-induced martensitic transformation occurred preferentially in grains with the tensile axis nearly parallel to fcc. The orientation dependence of the martensitic transformation was compatible with that of the {1-11}fcc fcc shear deformation which can be regarded as the first primitive process for the martensitic transformation as proposed by Bogers and Burgers. This compatibility is discussed in terms of the elastically normalized Schmid factor for the transformation dislocation to act for the lattice change.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127894038","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 stress-strain behavior is evaluated through microstructure observations and measurements of strain hardening rates. Significant grain refinement with well-defined grain boundaries is responsible for the strength increase. The grain refinement also leads to an increase in strain hardening rate and thus an increase in the ductility.","PeriodicalId":438337,"journal":{"name":"EngRN: Metals & Alloys (Topic)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128148862","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}
