被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0(Chemistry, Physical)The grain orientation-dependent lattice strain evolution of a (TiZrHfNb) refractory high-entropy alloy (HEA) during tensile loading has been investigated using
neutron diffraction. The equivalent strain-hardening rate of each of the primary
-oriented grain families was found to be relatively low, manifesting the macroscopically weak work-hardening ability of such a body-centered cubic (BCC)-structured HEA. This finding is indicative of a dislocation planar slip mode that is confined in a few single-slip planes and leads to in-plane softening by high pile-up stresses.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:49.29(Physics, Applied)Bulk AgS is a plastic inorganic semiconductor at room temperature. It exhibits a compressive strain greater than 50%, which is highly different from brittle conventional counterparts, such as silicon. Here, we present the experimental investigation of the deformation behavior in a plastic inorganic semiconductor Ag
S using
neutron diffraction during compressive deformation at room and elevated temperatures. At room temperature, the lattice strain partitioning among
-orientated grain families could be responsible for the significant work-hardening behavior in the bulk Ag
S with a monoclinic structure. The rapid accumulation of lattice defects and remarkable development of the deformation texture suggest that dislocation slip promotes plasticity. At 453 K, a monoclinic phase transforms into a body-centered cubic phase. A stress plateau appears at
-4.8 MPa, followed by a rehardening state. The deformation mode of bulk Ag
S at the initial stage is likely attributable to the migration of silver ions, and as strain increases, it is closer to that of room temperature, leading to rehardening.

被引用回数:28 パーセンタイル:98.38(Engineering, Mechanical)Face-centered cubic single-phase high-entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multi-principal transition metals have attracted significant attention, exhibiting an unprecedented combination of strength and ductility owing to their low stacking fault energy (SFE) and large misfit parameter that creates severe local lattice distortion. Increasing both strength and ductility further is challenging. In the present study, we demonstrate via meticulous experiments that the CoCrFeNi HEA with the addition of the substitutional metalloid Si can retain a single-phase FCC structure while its yield strength (up to 65%), ultimate strength (up to 34%), and ductility (up to 15%) are simultaneously increased, owing to a synthetical effect of the enhanced solid solution strengthening and a reduced SFE. The dislocation behaviors and plastic deformation mechanisms were tuned by the addition of Si, which improves the strain hardening and tensile ductility. The present study provides new strategies for enhancing HEA performance by targeted metalloid additions.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:94.44(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Owing to their attractive structure and mechanical properties, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) have attracted considerable research interest. The strength of HEAs/MEAs with a single face-centered cubic (FCC) phase, on the other hand, requires improvement. Therefore, in this study, we demonstrate a strategy for increasing the room-temperature strength of FCC-phase HEAs/MEAs by tuning cryo-pre-straining-induced crystal defects via the temperature-dependent stacking fault energy-regulated plasticity mechanism. Through neutron diffraction line profile analysis and electron microscope observation, the effect of the tuned defects on the tensile strength was clarified. This study discussed the possibility of developing single-phase high-performance HEAs by tuning pre-straining-induced crystal defects.

被引用回数:24 パーセンタイル:97.35(Engineering, Mechanical)In this study, we investigated the yielding and hardening behaviors of the Cantor alloy and FCC-phase Co-rich HEAs with different SFEs by in situ neutron diffraction combined with the first-principles method and electron-microscopy characterizations. The Co-rich HEAs exhibited a higher intrinsic yield strength than the Cantor alloy, mainly because of the larger shear modulus or modulus misfit, and grain refinement being more effective in improving the yield strength of low-SFE HEAs. Furthermore, higher flow stresses and better ductility of the Co-rich HEAs are attributed to the greater dislocation density and a larger number of stacking faults, which enhanced the strain-hardening rate during tensile deformation. The low SFE promoted mechanical twinning, and martensitic transformation contributed to higher strain-hardening rates.

被引用回数:22 パーセンタイル:96.95(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)Near-equiatomic single-phase twining-induced plasticity (TWIP) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit a good combination of strength and ductility, but their modest yield strength requires further improvement. Here, we propose a strategy for markedly enhancing their strength while retaining satisfactory ductility, taking advantage of the temperature dependence of the stacking fault energy. The room-temperature strength of a representative TWIP HEA was improved by the cryogenic pre-deformation-induced dislocations, martensite, nanotwins, and stacking faults. The tensile properties were further tuned by subsequent annealing to obtain partially recovered or recrystallized microstructures. The influence of regulated microstructures on the yield strength was clarified by neutron diffraction line profile analysis. This study presents possibilities for fabricating advanced HEAs by tuning the substructures.

被引用回数:61 パーセンタイル:99.71(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Recently-developed high-entropy alloys (HEAs) containing multiple principal metallic elements have ex-tended the compositional space of solid solutions and the range of their mechanical properties. Here we show that the realm of possibilities can be further expanded through substituting the constituent metals with metalloids, which are desirable for tailoring strength/ductility because they have chemical interactions and atomic sizes distinctly different from the host metallic elements. Specifically, the metalloid substitution increases local lattice distortion and short-range chemical inhomogeneities to elevate strength, and in the meantime reduces the stacking fault energy to discourage dynamic recovery and encourage defect accumulation via partial-dislocation-mediated activities. These impart potent dislocation storage to improve the strain hardening capability, which is essential for sustaining large tensile elongation. As such, metalloid substitution into HEAs evades the normally expected strength-ductility trade-off, enabling an unusual synergy of high tensile strength and extraordinary ductility for these single-phase solid solutions.

neutron diffraction (ND) and acoustic emission (AE) measurements. The results indicate that the twinning in the magnesium matrix and the kinking in the LPSO phase strongly depend on the composition of the material and the testing temperature. Further, active deformation mechanisms and particularly the load transfer from the magnesium matrix to the LPSO phase define the mechanical properties of the investigated alloys.

被引用回数:31 パーセンタイル:84.69(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We report an inelastic neutron scattering study on the spin resonance in the bilayer iron-based superconductor CaKFeAs
. In contrast to its quasi-two-dimensional electron structure, three strongly
-dependent modes of spin resonance are found below
= 35 K. The mode energies are below and linearly scale with the total superconducting gaps summed on the nesting hole and electron pockets, essentially in agreement with the results in cuprate and heavy fermion superconductors. This observation supports the sign-reversed Cooper-pairing mechanism under multiple pairing channels and resolves the long-standing puzzles concerning the broadening and dispersive spin resonance peak in iron pnictides. More importantly, the triple resonant modes can be classified into odd and even symmetries with respect to the distance of Fe-Fe planes within the Fe-As bilayer unit. Thus, our results closely resemble those in the bilayer cuprates with nondegenerate spin excitations, suggesting that these two high-
superconducting families share a common nature.

Deformation twinning plays an important role in deformation processes of hexagonal-close-packed (hcp) metals. The relatively new technique, time-of-flight (TOF) neutron Bragg-edge transmission (BET) imaging, is a non-destructive investigation method to quantitatively visualise the two-dimensional (2D) distribution of the microstructure. For deepening the understanding of the deformation twin mechanisms, we conducted the BET imaging experiment to quantify the deformation of magnesium (Mg) and its alloy, respectively. Compressions of the rectangular-shaped samples were carried out using a loading machine with different strain. The pulsed neutron transmission imaging experiments were performed at BL22 RADEN of Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (MLF/J-PARC). The detailed results will be presented at the conference.

Fatigue damage is known as one of the major concerns in maintaining the integrity of large-scale engineering components. The nonlinear strain/stress distribution around a fatigue crack tip has a great impact to understand the fatigue and crack growth behavior of engineering component. We consider that it is possible to reveal local variations in strain and microstructure around a fatigue crack tip throughout the thickness of the material by using the non-destructive Bragg-edge imaging and diffraction probes. To investigate the influence of austenitic and ferritic phases on the changes in the strain and microstructure of steels during cyclic fatigue, we selected a typical single austenite stainless steel SUS304 and a duplex stainless steel SUS329J4L. The fatigue tests on the compact-tension samples were conducted with a servo-hydraulic fatigue testing machine. The pulsed Bragg-edge imaging experiment on the fatigued samples was performed at BL22 RADEN in MLF/J-PARC. The time-of-flight neutron diffraction strain mapping was performed at BL19 TAKUMI in MLF/J- PARC. Two-dimensional maps of inhomogeneous residual strain and microstructure for the samples, which had been under different fatigue loading conditions, were determined by Bragg-edge spectral analysis. The obtained Bragg-edge imaging results were quantitatively compared with those determined by diffraction. Surface strains measured by digital image correlation during the fatigue tests will also be presented.

Crystallite size is a crucial parameter in characterising the structural properties of materials, and accurate measurement techniques are essential for various applications in engineering materials science. The neutron Bragg edge imaging method offers a non-destructive and penetrating approach to measure crystallite size of each crystalline phase within a bulk material. Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) is a popular technique for determining grain sizes and orientations in crystalline materials. This experiment aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of neutron Bragg edge imaging as a complementary technique to EBSD for grain size characterisation in crystalline materials. We conducted experiments using standard samples with known grain sizes from the EBSD measurements. Two materials were used in the study: pure iron with a ferrite phase and an Fe-24Ni-0.3C alloy with an austenite phase. The time-of-flight neutron transmission imaging experiment was performed at BL22 RADEN in J-PARC MLF. By analysing the obtained Bragg-edge spectra, we were able to obtain information regarding the crystallite size and texture of the samples. To validate the results, a comparison was made using data from both EBSD observations and neutron diffraction measurements from BL19 TAKUMI in J-PARC MLF.
