Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), combining chemical oxidation and mechanical grinding, offers an effective solution for improving the surface quality of hard and brittle materials. Understanding the material removal characteristics of SCD during CMP is crucial. In this study, the instantaneous contact velocity model of the workpiece and the abrasive particles is established by geometric kinematics, and the instantaneous contact velocity of the abrasive particles at any point on the surface of the workpiece is obtained. Based on the Greenwood and Williamson elastic contact model, the microscopic contact model between the workpiece and the polishing pad is studied, and the effective contact area between the workpiece and the polishing pad and the number of abrasive particles in the effective contact area are obtained. Considering the elastic-plastic deformation in the CMP process of SCD, the micro-contact model between single abrasive particle and workpiece surface is further established, and then the material removal rate (MRR) prediction model of SCD CMP is established. Experimental results reveal the impact of polishing pressure and speed on MRR and surface roughness. The theoretical MRR values align with experimental trends, and the Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA) refines the model, reducing the average relative error between theoretical and experimental MRR to 5.98 % and 5.81 %, respectively. The results demonstrate the model's validity. The SCD with near atomic scale ultra-smooth surface is obtained, and the sub-nanometer surface roughness Sa is 0.311 nm. At the same time, the interaction mechanism between chemical oxidation and mechanical removal is investigated through atomic-scale analysis using the ReaxFF molecular dynamics model.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54332,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology-Jmr&t","volume":"36 ","pages":"Pages 762-776"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strong dependences of the Cu crystallographic microstructure and pinhole formation on the ABF roughness were revealed in these investigations. We found that smaller Cu grains with fewer twin boundaries (TBs) and more low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) were easily created in the Cu deposits over a low-roughness ABF substrate, which is closely related to pinhole formation because of poor corrosion resistance resulting from numerous grain boundaries (fined grains) and inferior grain boundary (GB) characteristics. Here, we proposed a method that enables the generation of larger Cu grains with more TBs through an appropriate annealing treatment combined with adjusting the plating current density, thereby preventing undesired pinhole formation over a low-roughness ABF substrate.

The influence of cooling rate on the microstructure and its effects on the strength and toughness of bainitic steel were investigated using transmission electron microscope (TEM), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Experimental results indicate that as the cooling rate increases from 0.1 to 4 °C/s, the microstructure evolves from granular bainite to lath bainite, characterized by a high-density interface. At higher cooling rates, the samples exhibit enhanced strength and impact energy, attributed to dislocation strengthening and fine-grained strengthening mechanisms. Additionally, the presence of high-angle grain boundaries and filmy retained austenite within the microstructure contributes to improved toughness. Conversely, at a cooling rate of 0.1 °C/s, martensite/austenite(M/A) constituents and low-stability massive retained austenite do not favorably influence toughness improvement; however, increased retained austenite delays necking onset and promotes uniform plastic deformation. Combining in-situ phase transformation and tensile analysis, it is evident that phase transformations significantly affect tensile strain distribution. Specifically, temperature selection and the driving force for phase transformation influence the variation in size and orientation, thereby affecting strain distribution during tensile testing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54332,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Research and Technology-Jmr&t","volume":"36 ","pages":"Pages 34-44"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143620794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
