Two solid-solution BCC alloy series: Fe-8Cr-8Al-<em>x</em>Ti and Fe-<em>x</em>Cr-{16-<em>x</em>}Al-8Ti, where <em>x</em> was varied from 0 to 16 at.%, were investigated in acidified 0.1 M Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4(aq)</sub> solutions. Short- and long-term passivation behaviors and oxide passive film chemistry were characterized. Alloys with at least 4 at.% Ti with 8 at.% both Cr and Al; or 8 at.% Ti with a Cr/Al ratio higher than 0.5 exhibited excellent corrosion resistance in pH 1 solution having a lower currrent density than 304L stainless steel. Ti additions to Fe-Cr-Al alloys were predicted to not only function as a passivating species but also to act as a species that alters the chemical short-range order by clustering of Cr-Cr pairs in their 1<sup>st</sup> nearest neighbors’ arrangement. This could be forecast using a “Coherent Ordering Descriptor” based on Monte Carlo simulations supported by first-principles Density Functional Theory calculations. The possibility of a new Ti containing highly corrosion-resistant low-cost stainless steel with only 4 at.% Ti and 8 at.% Cr while using 88 at.% inexpensive Fe and Al is suggested. Two underlying mechanisms describing the enhanced passivation behaviors are discussed based on the chemical short-range ordering of Cr atoms, and passive film stability provided by mixed oxide species, suggesting concepts useful for designing new lightweight corrosion-resistant alloys.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47623,"journal":{"name":"Materialia","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 102370"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143438234","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}

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 further crystallization of cubic CeO<sub>2</sub> nanoparticles (CeO<sub>2</sub>@300) is observed due to heat treatment following plasma interactions. However, prolonged plasma treatment led to the formation of crystallinity with the generation of oxygen-related vacancies in the host lattice. Post-heat treatment of the materials resulted in increased crystallinity and reduction in vacancies within the host matrix, as confirmed by the vacancy concentration calculations derived from XRD data and the variations of Raman absorption band intensity at 1047.24 cm<sup>−1</sup>.

Therefore, the present work is focused on the effect of laser input density and pass repetitions for improving the corrosion resistance in molten carbonate salts of AISI 301LN stainless steel.

This is attributed to the formation of a thicker and denser protective oxide scale. However, high laser power increased the susceptibility to corrosion at the heat-affected zone (HAZ).

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. On the other hand, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) is identified as the primary restoration mechanism above 900 °C. 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.
