Transformation, Deformation and Microstructure Characteristics of Ru50Ta50 High Temperature Shape Memory Alloy

Zhirong HE , Fang WANG , Jing'en ZHOU

材料科学技术（英文）

The basic martensitic transformation (MT) properties of Ru50Ta50 alloy, i.e. MT temperature (MTT), temperature hysteresis (ΔT), and MT heat (ΔH) were investigated in this paper. The effects of heat treatment and thermal cycling on MT behavior of Ru50Ta50 alloy, the deformation and microstructure characteristics of Ru50Ta50 alloy were also studied for its engineering application as high temperature actuator/sensor materials by means of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, optical microscope, and hardness test. The results showed that a two-stage reversible MT takes place in Ru50Ta50 alloy. The two-stage MT starting temperatures (MS1 , MS2 ) and the temperature hysteresis (ΔT1, ΔT2) are 1047, 784 and 11, 14℃, respectively. No significant effect of aging treatment and thermal cycling on MTT and ΔT of Ru50Ta50 alloy were observed, but ΔH decreases slowly with increasing thermal cycles. The hardness and brittleness of Ru50Ta50 alloy are high. The deformation mode of RuTa alloys is twinning.

Two-step magnetization in a spin-chain system on the triangular lattice: Wang-Landau simulation

Physical Review B

The Wang-Landau algorithm is used to study the thermodynamic and magnetic properties of triangular spin-chain system based on two-dimensional Ising model in order to understand the magnetic-order dynamics in Ca(3)Co(2)O(6) compound. The calculated results demonstrate that the equilibrium state of the rigid spins produces the two-step magnetization curve at low temperature even when the random-exchange term is considered. This work indicates that the four-step magnetization behavior observed experimentally must be due to the nonequilibrium magnetization.

Ion sputter erosion in metallic glass-A response to "Comment on: Homogeneity of Zr(64.13)Cu(15.75)Ni(10.12)Al(10) bulk metallic glass" by L-Y. Chen, Y-W. Zeng, Q-P. Cao, B-J. Park, Y-M. Chen, K. Hono, U. Vainio, Z-L. Zhang, U. Kaiser, X-D. Wang, and J-Z Jiang J. Mater. Res. 24, 3116 (2009)

Journal of Materials Research

The morphology of the dark and bright regions observed by transmission electron microscopy for the Zr(64.13)Cu(15.75)Ni(10.12)Al(10) bulk metallic glass strongly depends on the ion beam parameters used for ion milling. This indicates that the ion beam could introduce surface fluctuation to metallic glasses during ion milling.

New criteria of glass forming ability, thermal stability and characteristic temperatures for various bulk metallic glass systems

Materials Science and Engineering a-Structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing

Six mathematical criteria used for quantitatively measuring their glass forming ability, thermal stability and characteristic temperatures (temperature of glass transition T-g, crystallization onset T-x and liquidus T-l) of various bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have been proposed in this article. It is found that the criteria are suitable for evaluating these quantities for BMGs. The estimated results are better than those calculated by Fang et al.'s models and Lu et al.'s gamma criterion, but our analyses indicate that these criteria, defined by the data (Pauling electronegativity xi, atomic radius ri, electron concentration ni and melting temperature T-mi) easily found in literatures, still need to be further refined in future research for shortcomings of the parameters.

Effect of interstitial hydrogen on cohesive strength of Al grain boundary with Mg segregation

材料科学技术（英文）

The effect of interstitial hydrogen on the cohesion of the Al Sigma=11(113) grain boundary (GB) is investigated based on the thermodynamic model of Rice-Wang using the first-principles density function calculation. The results indicate that interstitial H behaves as an embrittler from "strengthening energy" analysis. The reduced GB cohesion due to the presence of H at the GB is attributed to the low affinity between H and Al, and the weakened bonding of Al atomic pairs perpendicular to GB plane.

First-principles study on the effect of Mn and N on the cohesion of a gamma-iron grain boundary

Physical Review B

By use of the linear-combination-of-atomic-orbital (LCAO) method for a cluster model, we studied the electronic structure of gamma-from Sigma 11 [1 (1) over bar0](11 (3) over bar) grain boundary doping with N and Mn atoms. The effect of the segregation on the cohesion of the grain boundary is investigated based on the Rice-Wang thermodynamic model. It is found that N could not only largely enhance the cohesion of the grain boundary but also eliminate the detrimental effect of Mn. The cosegregation effect of Mn and N on the cohesion of the grain boundary depends on where they segregate. Nitrogen could be reliably used in alloyed steels as an efficient strengthening element.

First-principle study of electronic properties of Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 solid solutions

Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids

The layered ternary ceramics Ti3SiC2 and Ti3AlC2 are isostructural and can form Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 solid solutions combining the advanced properties of both compounds [H.B. Zhang, Y.C. Zhou, Y.W.

Wang, Strengthening of Ti3AlC2 by incorporation of Si to form Ti3Al1-xSixC2 solid solutions, Acta. Mater. 54 (2006) 1317-1322]. In the present work, the solid solutions of Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 (x = 0, 0.25, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 0.75, 1) are investigated by first-principle calculations based on pseudo-potential plan-wave method within the density functional theory framework. The results show that as Al content increases in the solid solution, all the bonds have weakened to certain extents, which lead to an unstable structure both energetically and geometrically. The calculated results are compared and discussed with the reported data for the Ti3Si1-xAlxC2 solid solutions. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
