It is now known that the effects are related to submicron particles, so it is not surprising that there was significant debate about the observed effects for a considerable time even as some of its benefits were already taken advantage of, in some steels. Currently, there is considerable knowledge and understanding of the effects of these particles and it is now possible, in many cases, to use computational thermodynamics to understand and properly tailor these effects. In the present work we briefly review how this knowledge developed and how the combination of thermodynamic and kinetic computational modeling makes it possible to take the most advantage of AlN in combination with the steel processing cycles.

Researchers have mostly discussed the roles of primary elements responsible for the formation of a given carbide/boride phase, often ignoring the role of other solutes on its stability. In the present work, thermodynamic stability of carbide and boride phases in seven commercial superalloys, namely, Alloy 625, Alloy 690, Alloy 718, MAR M246, Rene 100, Udimet 710 and Nimonic 80A, has been studied using the CALPHAD based Thermo-Calc software. The aim of the study was to understand the role of different alloying elements on temperature stability and chemical compositions of equilibrium phases in superalloys. As the accuracy of CALPHAD based predictions depends upon the database used, a detailed examination of its inadequacies has also been carried out to ascertain the limitations of the predicted data. From the calculated equilibrium chemical compositions, major and minor constituents promoting the formation of carbides and borides have been identified. The individual effect of a given solute as well as the synergistic effect of two solutes on the relative thermodynamic stability of carbide/boride phases has been identified using property diagrams and isothermal sections of the temperature-composition diagrams. Most of the simulated results have been found to be consistent with the experimental data available in the literature. From a comparison of the experimental literature and the simulated data of the stable carbide and boride phases in the studied alloys, the interplay of different solutes has been deduced to define conditions under which these phases form, within the limitations of the database used. This study has helped in better understanding of general tendencies of solutes to form different carbide and boride phases in nickel-based superalloys.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":657,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion","volume":"45 5","pages":"824 - 848"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11669-024-01136-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141933843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We comparatively investigated the oxygen transport properties of white (YSZ, yttria stabilized zirconia) and black (ZSZ, Zr<sup>3+</sup> stabilized zirconia) zirconia by molecular dynamics simulation. The simulation results show that the ZSZ has the same oxygen diffusion mechanism as YSZ. Furthermore, the ZSZ has a much better oxygen diffusion capacity than YSZ, which is confirmed by the lower minimum oxygen diffusion activation energy of ZSZ (0.37 eV) than that of YSZ (0.46 eV). The different oxygen diffusion capacity between YSZ and ZSZ is attributed to their crystal structure difference. The Zr<sup>3+</sup> ionic radius is much closer to that of Zr<sup>4+</sup> than that of Y<sup>3+</sup>, and it induces smaller lattice distortion in stabilized zirconia to impose a minimal steric blocking effect on the oxygen diffusion process. Therefore, the Zr<sup>3+</sup> is preferred over Y<sup>3+</sup>to enhance the oxygen diffusion capacity of stabilized zirconia and the black YSZ co-doped by Y<sup>3+</sup> and Zr<sup>3+</sup> is proven to be a promising solid electrolyte material with a better oxygen diffusion capacity than YSZ.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":657,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion","volume":"45 4","pages":"779 - 789"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
