Ti-Al multilaminate composite was prepared by high-power EB-PVD technology, and under vacuum condition, the samples were annealed at different temperatures. The changed microstructure of the samples after annealing was characterized by XRD, SEM and EDS. The experimental results show that, with the increment of temperature, the ordered phases reduce due to the diffusion of Al into Ti, and the breakdown of layered architecture was induced mainly by pore formation, grain growth and the grain boundary grooving.

The deformation mechanisms of various kinds of single crystals and bicrystals during the process of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) have been paid more attention world wide. This paper reviews the recent progresses in the understanding of the deformation mechanisms of single crystals and bicrystals subjected to one-pass ECAP, and discusses the effect of initial crystallographic orientation and grain boundary on the microstructural evolution of these crystals. Based on those experimental results and analysis, it is suggested that in addition to the shear deformation along the intersection plane (IP) of ECAP die, the shear along the normal of IP also plays an important role in affecting the microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms of these single crystals and bicrystals.

The gauge factor and nonlinearity of 80nm polysilicon nanofilms with different doping concentration were tested. The experimental results show that, from 8.1×1018cm-3 to 2.0×1020cm-3, the gauge factors first increase then decrease, which like the common polysilicon films (thickness is larger than 100nm). From 2.0×1020cm-3 to 7.1×1020cm-3, the gauge factors do not change with doping concentration almost, which can be explained by tunneling piezoresistive theory. When doping concentration is low than 4.1×1019cm-3, the nonlinearities are big, and the nonlinearities become small when doping concentration is high than 4.1×1019cm-3. The nonlinearity is related to the occupied condition of trapping states in grain boundary. The longitudinal gauge factor and nonlinearity are smaller than transverse ones. Take the gauge factor and nonlinearity both into consideration, the optimal doping concentration should be 4.1×1019cm-3. The conclusions are very useful for design and fabrication of polysilicon nanofilms piezoresistive sensor.

The ductility of an Al–Cu–Mn alloy is typically characterized by fracture strain and is influenced by experimental temperature and its microstructure. Previous researches show that the ductility increases with the temperature and decreases with the strain rate. However, based on the results of isothermal tensile tests of as-quenched Al–Cu–Mn alloy in this paper, it was found that the ductility decreased apparently (approximately 90% under strain rate of 0.001/s) at a medium temperature range (573–673 K) and gradually reincreased to its original level at higher temperature. A competitive relationship between temperature softening and grain boundary T precipitation was proposed to account for the unusual variation of ductility. In addition, a ductility model based on the competitive relationship was deduced to quantify the evolution of the fracture strain for the as-quenched Al–Cu–Mn alloy and validated by the experimental results.

Heavily cold rolled BCC steel has been indicated to generate {411}<148> recrystallisation texture and its family orientations which might be represented as {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2>. As a-fibre structure, or RD//<011> texture is significantly developed during the cold rolling, it is naturally speculated to be the recrystallisation site of {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2> fibre. The present paper prompts to demonstrate the recrystallisation procedure by utilising EBSP-OIM analysis. The first demonstration was carried out with OIM analysis on partially recrystallised cold rolled steel. At the stage of 50% recrystallisation, only ND//<111> texture has appeared for the recrystallised area. {100}<011> - {211}<011> a-fibre remains as deformed structure, and several {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2> grains could be found at the grain boundaries. Therefore, a bi-crystal of {100}<011> was employed to simulate the irregular deformation at the grain boundary. After cold rolling, a warp toward the grain boundary was observed. Although the interior of the {100}<011> single crystal was hardly recrystallised, sharp {411}<148> texture was created along the grain boundary. In order to confirm the phenomenon, another experiment was carried out that a cold rolled {100}<011> single crystal was bent along the rolling direction and annealed. Very sharp {411}<148> recrystallisation texture was formed again at the bent perimeter. These experimental results lead us to conclude that the irregular strain was sufficiently piled at the grain boundary after the heavy deformation and generates {h,1,1}<1/h,1,2> texture. On {100} pole figures, the recrystallisation textures were equivalently scattered around three <100> poles, therefore the rotation relationship around <111> axes with the original orientation was suggested.

Process of solution treatment of 6061 aluminum alloy was done by hardness test and microanalysis in this paper. The effects of different solution treatment temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy were studied and the influence of overburning on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6061 aluminum alloy were also analyzed. The experimental results show that overburning occurring while 6061 aluminum alloy is heated above 580°C . The hardness measurements and microstructure analysis results show that the hardness decreased, grain boundary becomes trigemanal and compounded –melting structure (burnt structure) appeared when overburning occuring for this alloy .

AbstractWe investigated influence of the beam irradiation conditions with oblique incidence on crystallization of an Si film by a linearly polarized pulse laser in order to enlarge the periodic width of grain boundary. The irradiation conditions are fluence, pulse number and film thickness. We can obtain the periodic width of about 900 nm by increasing the incident angle to 25°. The experimental results suggest that the pulse number and the film thickness should be controlled properly as well as fluence in order to produce large grain stably for the oblique incidence. The detail of these conditions was discussed.

The possibilities of Fisher’s model development and generalization are considered, as this model in its classical form contradicts some experimental results. Particularly, it does not explain such a phenomenon, observed in Mössbauer studies, as the transfer of grain-boundary diffusing atoms into near-boundary crystallite areas at temperatures when the volume diffusion is admittedly frozen. Different models explaining this phenomenon are briefly reviewed, the greatest attention being paid to a model accounting for the presence of equilibrium-composition near-boundary layers. It is demonstrated that based on the results of grain boundaries investigations one can conclude that at relatively low temperatures (< 0.35 – 0.40 Tm) the diffusant pumping from a grain boundary proceeds much faster than volume diffusion, and possible reasons for that are considered.

In this article new experimental evidences of anomalous grain boundary diffusion (GBD) of Fe and Co in Cu were describe. To demonstrate that the brief describing of results of grain boundary diffusion in Cu with following formulation of rules which can be established on the base of the analysis of the results is presented. Experimental results which are described here concern the attempt to change the effect negative segregation by microalloying by sulfur which did not change the situation and the diffusion through foil which allowed to demonstrate the absence of accelerated GB diffusion without specific sample preparation. It is shown that GBs do not give the additional effect to the flux of Fe and Co through the foil. The extended model of surface tension gradient as an additional driving force is described.
