被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)In this study, a series of eutectoid steels with Mn addition up to 2 mass% were isothermally transformed at various temperatures from 873 K to 973 K to clarify the pearlite growth kinetics and the underlying thermodynamics at its growth front. The microscopic observation indicates the acceleration in pearlite growth rate and refinement in lamellar spacing by decreasing the transformation temperature or the amount of Mn addition. After analyzing the solute distribution at pearlite growth front via three-dimensional atom probe, no macroscopic Mn partitioning across pearlite/austenite interface is detected, whereas Mn segregation is only observed at ferrite/austenite interface. Furthermore, in-situ neutron diffraction measurements performed at elevated temperatures reveals that the magnitude of elastic strain generated during pearlite transformation is very small.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)This work focused on the mechanical properties and serration-involved deformation behavior of advanced alloys at 15 K. Evolution of stacking faults and -martensite improved the mechanical performance of CoCrNi alloys, and significant strain-induced martensite transformation of DED-SS316L led to superior strength and strain hardening. A magnitude in stress drop was governed by dislocation density, phase type, and lattice defects, irrespective of processing method. FCC {200} notably was influenced recovery behavior after stress drop, and the contribution of strain energy density by serration on tensile toughness was the greatest for HR-CoCrNi.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering)Deformation-induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) during tensile or compressive deformations of the bainitic steels with various carbon content (0.15%C, 0.25%C, 0.62%C) was studied. In all of the bainitic steels, the tensile deformation exhibited larger work hardening than the compression. This difference indicates the suppression of the DIMT at the compression, and actually the measurements of electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) confirmed the less reduction of retained austenite at the compression of all the bainitic steels. Additionally, the steel with the highest carbon content was examined by in situ neutron diffraction and clarified the difference similar to that obtained by the EBSD measurement. The regression of the relation between the fraction of austenite and applied strain with the conventional empirical equation revealed that the kinetic of DIMT is strongly dependent with the stress polarity, but not significantly changed by the carbon content.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:50.48(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Metastability engineering is a strategy to enhance the strength and ductility of alloys via deliberately lowering phase stability and prompting deformation-induced martensitic transformation. In this work, the martensitic transformation and its effect on the mechanical response of a FeCoNiAlTiMo medium-entropy alloy (MEA) were studied by in situ neutron diffraction under tensile loading. This work shows how great a role FCC to BCC martensitic transformation can play in enhancing the mechanical properties of ferrous MEAs.

Medium Mn steels have been actively investigated due to their excellent balance between material cost and mechanical properties. In particular, medium Mn steel with a nominal chemical composition of Fe-5.0Mn-0.1C (mass%) fabricated by intercritical annealing 923 K for 1.8 ks after cold-rolling, was the high-strength mechanical properties at low temperature. This strengthening mechanism evaluated by means of in-situ neutron diffraction under low temperature (High Resolution Powder Diffractometer (HRPD) at Japan Research Reactor-3(JRR-3)), electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), low temperature differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and low temperature magnetic susceptibility measurement. We found that as the sample temperature decreases, face- centered cubic (FCC) structure transferred face-centered tetragonal (FCT) structure. Namely, it suggests that austenite transformed martensite like Fe-Pd or Fe-Pt alloy. Therefore, the origin of the high-strength mechanical properties at low temperature was in the presence of FCT martensite.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a prominent topic within metallic materials, encompassing a wide range of applications. During the AM process, materials undergo cyclic heating and cooling, resulting in an inherently heterogeneous microstructure or materials exhibiting distinct microstructural characteristics compared to conventionally manufactured counterparts. For example, maraging steel produced via AM often exhibits a significant presence of retained austenite, while AM-produced stainless steel may demonstrate lower stability of austenite, compared to the conventional manufactured ones. In the presentation, we will provide a brief introduction to the neutron diffraction method, as well as an overview of our in situ studies focusing on the deformation of metastable steels. These studies encompass investigations conducted at both room temperature and low temperature.

Applications in aerospace, linear motors, and other fields have created a need for superior structural materials at cryogenic temperatures. In response, it has become necessary not only to develop structural materials with excellent mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures, but also to investigate the cryogenic deformation mechanism of such materials. We have developed a cryogenic horizontal deformation tester and an in-situ measurement method during cryogenic deformation on the neutron diffractometer TAKUMI installed at the high intensity pulsed neutron facility, J-PARC. We have also already obtained several excellent results from the in situ measurements during cryogenic deformation, which will be presented in this presentation.

Hierarchical microstructure of pearlite and martensite in steel is caused by internal stress due to phase transformation. If internal stress can be quantitatively evaluated and controlled, new microstructure control technology will be created. However, internal stress due to eutectoid transformation is not easy to measure because thermal stress and transformation stress are superimposed. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the internal stress evolved from pearlitic transformation by In-situ neutron diffraction technique. A pearlitic steel of 0.8C-1.5Mn wt.% was used in this study, and the following thermal process was performed; the solution heat treatment at 1323K for 1.8ks followed by immediate the isothermal heat treatment at 873K for 1.8 ks to obtain a predominantly pearlitic structure included lamellar ferrite and cementite. The austenitic-to-pearlitic transformation during the thermal process was monitored with a TAKUMI neutron diffractometer at J-PARC-MLF. The Rietveld refinements of diffraction patterns were performed using Z-Rietveld software to track the phase fractions and the lattice parameters. The elastic strains state of the ferrite and the austenite phases at 873K were observed from the evolutions of the lattice constants of ferrite and the austenite during pearlitic transformation. In particular, the cubical expansion during the transformation derived the hydrostatic pressure and resulted a compressive elastic strain in ferrite. On the other hand, the elastic strains state in cementite that was predicted by an amount of internal stress relaxation during thermal aging after pearlitic transformation, was approximately -0.28%. These results show that internal stresses during transformation can be quantitatively evaluated using in-situ neutron diffraction method.

Essential understanding of the pearlite growth kinetics is important to predict the lamellar spacing and the resultant mechanical properties of pearlitic steels. In this study, through quantitatively analyzing the microstructural features in the vicinity of pearlite growth interface, the influence of these factors and the underlying thermodynamics of pearlite growth kinetics were clarified. The pearlite growth rate and lamellar spacing were measured based on the microstructural observation via optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Three-dimensional atom probe (3DAP) was used to analyze the elemental distribution in the vicinity of pearlite growth front, whereas in-situ neutron diffraction at elevated temperatures was performed at J-PARC, BL19 (TAKUMI) to quantify the elastic strain generated during pearlite transformation. Based on the proposed thermodynamic model, the influence of various factors on the pearlite growth kinetics is estimated using the experimental results obtained in this study. It was found that in most transformation conditions, solute drag effects caused by Mn interfacial segregation have the largest contribution in retarding the pearlite growth rate. In contrast, the magnitude of elastic strain in pearlite measured by neutron diffraction is quite small, which marginally affects the pearlite growth kinetics.

The interstitial elements such as hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen have a great influence on the mechanical properties of titanium alloy. In the present work, micromechanical properties such as the phase strains, intergranular strains and dislocation densities for titanium alloys containing such interstitial elements were investigated by means of neutron diffraction technique. In-situ neutron diffraction during tensile deformation was performed with TAKUMI, a high-resolution and high-intensity TOF neutron diffractometer for engineering materials science at MLF of the J-PARC. The results show that the phase strains of nitrogen or oxygen-strengthened titanium alloys are partitioned into the grain interface between alpha phase and beta phase. In particular, the strong beta phase leads to a stress value higher than the macro-yield stress, resulting in high strengthening of (alpha + beta) dual phase titanium alloys. On the other hand, the dislocation density of titanium alloy containing hydrogen abnormally increased with an increase of the plastic strain. It is generally thought that hydrogen is trapped in the dislocations. However, our result shows that the dislocation is trapped by hydrogen through the Cottrell effect.
