Giant hardening and formation of nanograined supersaturated solid solution in Al–Zn system
Grain refinement via severe plastic deformation (SPD) can induce the decomposition of Al–Zn supersaturated solid solution, resulting in strain softening rather than hardening. So far, it is very challenging to improve the strength of binary Al–Zn alloy by refining grains through SPD. Herein, a single-phase supersaturated solid solution nanostructure with relaxed grain boundaries has been successfully generated in Al–21.7 at% Zn alloy by cryogenic high-pressure torsion. Instead of softening, giant hardening is achieved. The nanocrystalline Al–Zn alloy with grain size of 15 nm has an ultrahigh yield strength of about 642 MPa. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT IMPACT STATEMENT Giant hardening has been achieved in Al–Zn alloy with extremely fine nanograins and single-phased supersaturated solid solution under extremely high shear strain via cryogenic high-pressure torsion.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Letters is a high impact, open access journal that focuses on the engineering and technology of materials, materials physics and chemistry, and novel and emergent materials. It supports the materials research community by publishing original and compelling research work. The journal provides fast communications on cutting-edge materials research findings, with a primary focus on advanced metallic materials and physical metallurgy. It also considers other materials such as intermetallics, ceramics, and nanocomposites. Materials Research Letters publishes papers with significant breakthroughs in materials science, including research on unprecedented mechanical and functional properties, mechanisms for processing and formation of novel microstructures (including nanostructures, heterostructures, and hierarchical structures), and the mechanisms, physics, and chemistry responsible for the observed mechanical and functional behaviors of advanced materials. The journal accepts original research articles, original letters, perspective pieces presenting provocative and visionary opinions and views, and brief overviews of critical issues.
