Many previous studies have focused on the mechanism of whisker formation and the change in whisker density over time. However, only a few studies have focused on the formation and growth behavior of IMCs and the correlation between IMCs and whiskers. Furthermore, no studies have quantitatively investigated the time-dependent changes in the formation and growth behavior of IMCs and whiskers using mathematical formulas. In this study, Sn/Cu plating was applied to a 7–3 brass substrate, and the formation and growth of IMCs at the Sn/Cu interface and the behavior of whisker formation were studied. An approximate equation was derived based on the reaction kinetics to quantitatively express the time-dependent changes in both parameters. Three differences were observed between the formation behaviors of IMCs and whiskers. First, no incubation time t_th was observed for IMC formation, but it was for whiskers. Second, the whisker density increased until t = 10 d and then saturated. However, the IMC density increased until t = 70 d and then became saturated. Third, the IMC density in the cross section is 7–10 times higher than the whisker density, and the rate constant of the IMCs is smaller than that of the whiskers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47623,"journal":{"name":"Materialia","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 102290"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656466","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}

Herein, Cr₂₃C₆ particles reinforced CoCrFeNi composites with graphene nanoplates as a precursor were fabricated using <em>in-situ</em> reaction spark plasma sintering and cold rolling annealing processes. Results showed that the microstructure of the CoCrFeNi HEA and their composites were face-centered cubic structures before and after annealing, and Cr₂₃C₆ particles were precipitated inside the matrix during SPS. The precipitated Cr₂₃C₆ particles exerted strong pinning forces to migrate dislocations and grain boundaries, effectively refining the grains during the annealing process. After cold rolling, Cr₂₃C₆/CoCrFeNi composites showed a typically banded deformation structure. After annealing, fine equiaxed grains were distributed around the deformed grains, and the proportion of equiaxed grains was increased with the annealing time. The yield strength (YS) of Cr₂₃C₆/CoCrFeNi composites was significantly higher than that of CoCrFeNi alloy after cold rolling and annealing. When annealed for 20 min, the YS and elongation of Cr₂₃C₆/CoCrFeNi composites with 0.3 wt% graphene addition were 1100 MPa and 6 %, respectively. The YS was 68.2 % higher than that of the CoCrFeNi alloy.

Post-processing heat treatments improve ductility, but resultant microstructural changes affect the work-hardening behaviour, deformability, and uniform elongation values. This study aims to investigate the work-hardening capability, uniform elongation and deformability of AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg samples after different post-processing heat treatments by using tensile tests, optical and scanning electron microscopies. At aging temperatures below 200 °C, the fully cellular structure of eutectic Si governs both the work-hardening behaviour and the strengthening mechanisms, despite the precipitation phenomenon. When direct-aging temperatures exceed 200 °C, the coarsening of the Si-eutectic network modifies work-hardening behavior (Stages 1–3), accentuating the effects induced by the precipitates.

Fatigue property measurement for these novel materials is critical for their use in safety-critical components, which can be accelerated with the use of ultrasonic fatigue testing. In this work, ultrasonic (20 kHz) and conventional (20 Hz) fatigue studies were conducted on as-sprayed bulk Al-6061 and conventional wrought Al-6061-T6. Complementary fatigue studies of surface preparation (surface finish and residual stress) and fatigue specimen geometry (round versus flat), as well as hole-drilling residual stress measurements, were undertaken to minimize the influence of these confounding variables. Cold spray Al-6061 exhibits fatigue frequency sensitivity, whereas the wrought material does not. Tensile testing at varied strain rates indicates that a portion of the fatigue frequency effect can be attributed to strain rate sensitivity. Fractographic studies show that crack initiation occurs from unbonded powder particles at the surface at high stress amplitude, and transitions sub-surface at lower stress amplitude.
