Rapid solidification (RS) combined with following mechanical consolidation of RS powders is considered as a valuable commercial method for the production of a wide range of metallic materials having fine-grained structures. Reported research results for various alloys demonstrate better compositional homogeneity, smaller grain size and relatively fine precipitates distributed homogenously in RS alloys than that for the materials produced by conventional metallurgical processing. The effect of rapid solidification on the microstructure and mechanical properties of selected Al-Fe-Ni-Mg alloys have been investigated. The basic item of the research work was obtaining aluminum PM materials strengthened by highly-dispersed transition metal compounds and aluminum-magnesium solid solution. Rapid solidification (RS) of Al-4Fe-4Ni and Al-4Fe-4Ni-5Mg alloys was performed by means of gas atomizing of the molten alloy and the spray deposition on the rotating water-cooled copper roll. Using typical powder metallurgy (PM) methods, i.e. cold pressing, vacuum degassing and hot extrusion, the RS-flakes were consolidated to the bulk PMmaterials. For comparison purposes, the conventionally cast and hot extruded Al-4Fe-4Ni and Al-4Fe-4Ni-5Mg alloys were studied as well. Mechanical properties of as-extruded materials were examined by compression tests performed at 293 K – 873 K. It was found that relatively high strength of as-extruded PM materials was accompanied by high ductility of samples deformed by hot compression test. Structural observations confirmed beneficial influence of rapid solidification on effective refining of intermetallic compounds, although some inhomogeneity of fine precipitates distribution was observed. Nevertheless, it was considered that an effective increase of the microhardness and strength of tested RS materials mostly result from achieved dispersion of structural components and can be intensified by solid solution hardening due to Mg-addition.

Heat treatment is widely used to improve the properties of Al–Si–Mg alloys and its outcomes are influenced by the parameters applied during the treatment. This study describes the effect of the solution and artificial aging treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of die-cast Al–Si–Mg alloys. The microstructure of the as-cast Al–Si–Mg alloy was mainly composed of α-Al, complex needle-type eutectic Si particles, Mg2Si, and α-AlFeMn. The complex needle-type eutectic Si particles disintegrated into spheroidal morphologies, while the Mg2Si was dissolved due to the solid solution treatment. The maximum yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) values were 126.06 and 245.90 MPa at 520 °C after 90 min of solution heat treatment, respectively. Although the YS and UTS values of the Al–Si–Mg alloys reduced due to the solution treatment, the elongation (EL) of the solid solution heat-treated Al–Si–Mg alloys was improved in comparison to that of the as-cast Al–Si–Mg alloy. The maximum YS and UTS of 239.50 and 290.93 MPa were obtained after performing artificial aging at 180 °C for 180 min, respectively. However, the EL of the aging heat-treated alloy was reduced by a minimal value.

Hierarchical Porous

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) present excellent mechanical properties. However, the exploitation of chemical properties of HEAs is far less than that of mechanical properties, which is mainly limited by the low specific surface area of HEAs synthesized by traditional methods. Thus, it is vital to develop new routes to fabricate HEAs with novel three-dimensional structures and a high specific surface area. Herein, we develop a facile approach to fabricate nanoporous noble metal quasi-HEA microspheres by melt-spinning and dealloying. The as-obtained nanoporous Cu30Au23Pt22Pd25 quasi-HEA microspheres present a hierarchical porous structure with a high specific surface area of 69.5 m2/g and a multiphase approximatively componential solid solution characteristic with a broad single-group face-centered cubic XRD pattern, which is different from the traditional single-phase or two-phase solid solution HEAs. To differentiate, these are named quasi-HEAs. The synthetic strategy proposed in this paper opens the door for the synthesis of porous quasi-HEAs related materials, and is expected to promote further applications of quasi-HEAs in various chemical fields.

Ordered Phases

Mg alloys with fine mechanical properties and high damping capacities are essential in engineering applications. In this work, Mg–Zn–Y based alloys with lamellar long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases were obtained by different processes. The results show that a more lamellar second phase can be obtained in the samples with more solid solution atoms. The density of the lamellar LPSO phase has an obvious effect on the damping of the magnesium alloy. The compact LPSO phase is not conducive to dislocation damping, but sparse lamellar phases can improve the damping capacity without significantly reducing the mechanical properties. The Mg95.3Zn2Y2.7 alloy with lamellar LPSO phases and ~100 μm grain size exhibited a fine damping property of 0.110 at ε = 10–3.

We carry out ab initio density functional theory calculations to investigate the fundamental mechanical properties of stacking faults in 3C-SiC, including the effect of stress and doping atoms (substitution of C by N or Si). Stress induced by stacking fault (SF) formation is quantitatively evaluated. Extrinsic SFs containing double and triple SiC layers are found to be slightly more stable than the single-layer extrinsic SF, supporting experimental observation. Effect of tensile or compressive stress on SF energies is found to be marginal. Neglecting the effect of local strain induced by doping, N doping around an SF obviously increase the SF formation energy, while SFs seem to be easily formed in Si-rich SiC.
