These substrates must be as flat as possible for further processing. They can be fabricated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on a sacrificial substrate, which is then removed leaving a thick free-standing SiC film. When deposited by CVD, a residual intrinsic stress gradient develops through thickness of the film and results in the curvature of the free-standing film. In this study, we show that two mechanisms are responsible for the occurrence of such an intrinsic stress gradient. The first is due to a change of grain size through the film's thickness that in turn leads to a change of intrinsic stress during growth. The second mechanism is attributed to the continuous relaxation of the film during growth. Although a constant grain size through thickness can be achieved with appropriate process conditions to minimize the intrinsic stress gradient, the second mechanism occurs for any microstructure. Therefore, the intrinsic stress gradient and the resulting curvature of the free-standing films is difficult to avoid though it can be minimized through pertinent choices of growth conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47623,"journal":{"name":"Materialia","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102350"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143350761","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 findings suggest that at temperatures below 900 °C, planar slip is the dominant deformation mechanism, and slip transfer is more favorable at twin boundaries than at grain boundaries.

The study identifies various nucleation sites for DRX grains, with triple junctions and grain boundaries serving as the nucleation sites at 900 °C. As the temperature increases to 1000 °C and above, new nucleation sites, such as inside annealing twin boundaries and free twin ends, are observed. The microstructure results suggest that the morphology of the twin boundary changes and loses its character during deformation. The role of annealing twin boundaries on DRX and bulging mechanisms associated with the various nucleation sites are discussed in great detail.

The microstructural analysis shows the presence of dual-phase microstructure of delta ferrite and austenite in cast as well as hot forged specimens. While some of the austenite has been transformed to martensite (lenticular shape) in rolled specimen due to a higher cooling rate (water quenching) immediately after hot rolling. After 5 minutes of annealing, needle shape of reverted austenite and intercritical ferrite forms from martensite. As the annealing time increases to 30 minutes, the reverted austenite coalesces and undergoes further transformation into ferrite. This results in the formation of reverted austenite with needle and globular morphologies at 60 minutes of annealing. This annealing condition reveals the optimum mechanical stability due to its morphology and chemical composition, resulting in enhanced TRIP effect as compared to other annealing conditions. Further increase in annealing time to 120 and 180 minutes, volume fraction of reverted austenite decreases significantly due to more dissolution of reverted austenite to intercritical ferrite, leading to reduced TRIP effect.

Before commercial use in the automotive or aerospace industries can be realized, the durability and functionality of high temperature SMAs (HTSMAs), with operating temperatures exceeding 100 °C, need to be characterized by examining the actuation fatigue properties. Macroscopic evaluation has been well-documented, but to further improve the thermomechanical response and actuation fatigue then the governing microscopic damage mechanisms need to be identified. With this motivation, the effects of upper cycle temperature (UCT) levels on actuation fatigue properties of a Ni-rich Ni<sub>50.3</sub>Ti<sub>29.7</sub>Hf<sub>20</sub> HTSMA were investigated in combination with high energy synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (SR-XRD) experiments. Fatigue tests were performed to compare three UCT levels above austenite finish (A<sub>f</sub>) temperature under a constant load of 300 MPa and SR-XRD was used to determine the residual micro-strains associated with accumulated strain. Overheating much greater than the A<sub>f</sub> (in this case, >100 °C) transformation temperature leads to oxidation and slip deformation associated with grain growth. Whereas operating at temperatures slightly above A<sub>f</sub> (<100 °C) was shown to extend fatigue life by preferring twinning deformation. Existing defects and high strain rate conditions will cause actuation strain degradation as a consequence of multiple transformation fronts accumulating stress concentrators at these initiation sites. Lower UCT allows damage deformation to propagate slowly across the sample so that deformation is primarily associated with twinning mechanisms before slip for the duration of the fatigue test.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47623,"journal":{"name":"Materialia","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102356"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143378856","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}
