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.

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. Bao, M.S. Li, Improving the oxidation resistance of Ti3SiC2 by forming a Ti3Si0.90Al0.1C2 solid solution, Acta Mater. 52 (2004) 3631-3637; E.D. Wu, J.Y. Wang, H.B. Zhang, Y.C. Zhou, K. Sun, Y.J. Xue, Neutron diffraction studies of Ti3Si0.9Al0.1C2 compound, Mater. Lett. 59 (2005) 2715-2719; J.Y. Wang, Y.C. Zhou, First-principles study of equilibrium properties and electronic structure of Ti3Si0.75Al0.25C2 solid solution, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 15 (2003) 5959-5968; Y.C. Zhou, J.X. Chen, J.Y. 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.

Composites Science and Technology
Short glass fiber-reinforced nylon 6,6 with and without rubbery inclusions were injection molded into standard specimens. The mechanical properties and the residual fiber length distribution were measured. The macro-to-micro model proposed by Bowyer and Bader [J. Mater. Sci., 7 (1972) 1315] was used to determine the interfacial shear strength (IFSS). The IFSS in the toughened nylon 6,6-based composites was found to be superior to that in the untoughened nylon 6,6-based composites. This indicates that the presence of rubbery phase in the composite system contributed to the interfacial bonding between nylon 6,6 and glass fibers (GF). Back-scattered electron imaging taken on a plane perpendicular to the mold filling direction for fiber-reinforced toughened nylon 6,6 showed that the rubbery phase adhered to the GF surface. This morphological feature was regarded as a main factor responsible for the improvement of IFSS in the reinforced toughened nylon 6,6 composites. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

A duplex lower temperature chromizing treatment at 600 degrees C for 120 min followed by 860 degrees C for 90 min was performed on a low carbon steel plate with a nanostructured surface layer, induced by surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) [Z.B. Wang, J. Lu, K. Lu, Acta Mater. 53 (2005) 2081]. Microhardness, wear and corrosion resistances of the chromized SMAT sample were measured, in comparison with those of the chromized coarse-grained counterpart and the as-annealed coarse-grained sample. Experimental results showed that these properties were improved markedly. The much enhanced properties of the chromized SMAT sample relative to the chromized coarse-grained counterpart might originate from its superior microstructures, i.e., a much thicker chromized surface layer with smaller grains and more homogenous phase-distribution, due to the employed processes of the SMAT and the duplex lower temperature chromizing treatment.

The elastic and plastic anisotropies of three oriented Cu single crystals were determined by a nanoindentation technique with a Berkovich and a cube-corner indenter, respectively. The indentation modulus ( E) of the crystals in the elastic and the plastic regimes were separately extracted using Hertzian elastic analysis and the Oliver-Pharr (O&P) method [J. Mater. Res. 7 1564 ( 1992)]. E values for Cu( 111) and ( 110) are nearly identical, about 20% larger than that of ( 001), as determined using a Berkovich tip in both regimes. E values determined in the plastic regime using a Berkovich tip agree well with theoretical predictions in terms of the Vlassak and Nix [ Phil. Mag. A 67 1065 ( 1993); J. Mech. Phys. Solids 42 1223 ( 1994)] analytical method, but smaller than those determined in the elastic regime. Elastic anisotropies in the plastic regime, however, are not measurable as a cube-corner indenter was used. The hardness ( H) of Cu crystals exhibits an obvious indentation size effect and larger H values are obtained with a sharper indenter.

The reverse analysis provides a convenient method to determine four elastic-plastic parameters through an indentation curve such as Young's modulus E, hardness H, yield strength σy and strain hardening exponent n. In this paper, mathematical analysis on a reverse algorithm from Dao model (Dao et al., Acta Mater., 2001, 49, 3899) was carried out, which thought that only when 20≤E*/σ0:033≤26and 0.3<n≤0.5, the reverse algorithm would yield two solutions of n by dimensionless function Π2. It is shown that, however, there are also two solutions of n when 20≤E*/σ0:033≤26 and 0≤n<0.1. A unique n can be obtained by dimensionless function Π3 instead of Π2 in these two ranges. E and H can be uniquely determined by a full indentation curve, and σy can be determined if n is unique. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis on obtaining n from dimensionless function Π3 or Π22 has been made.

By cyclically deforming a [(5) over bar 913]perpendicular to[(5) over bar 79] copper bicrystal with a perpendicular grain boundary (GB), the fatigue crack initiation and fracture behavior were investigated. It was found that only the primary slip systems were activated on both G1[(5) over bar 913] and G2[(5) over bar 79] grains including the vicinity of the GB at axial plastic strain range of 1.8 x 10(-4)-2.56 x 10(-3). By observing the surface and fractography, it was confirmed that the fatigue cracks always nucleated and propagated along the GB, and displayed an obvious tendency on different surfaces. On the front surface of the bicrystal, the intergranular cracking was more preferential than that on the lateral surface, even though the geometrical conditions among PSB, GB and stress axis on the lateral surface claimed to enhance cracking are more close to those proposed by Christ (Mater. Sci. Eng. A117 (1989) L25). Based on the experimental results above, the effect of the interaction of PSB with GB and stress axis on intergranular fatigue cracking in the bicrystal is discussed. It is suggested that Christ's geometrical conditions for intergranular cracking might be further developed and the plastic strain incompatibility near the GB should play a more important effect on intergranular fatigue cracking.
