The failure of superhard materials is often associated with stress-induced amorphization. However, the underlying mechanisms of the structural evolution remain largely unknown. Here, we report the experimental measurements of the onset of shear amorphization in single-crystal boron carbide by nanoindentation and transmission electron microscopy. We verified that rate-dependent loading discontinuity, i.e., pop-in, in nanoindentation load-displacement curves results from the formation of nanosized amorphous bands via shear amorphization. Stochastic analysis of the pop-in events reveals an exceptionally small activation volume, slow nucleation rate, and lower activation energy of the shear amorphization, suggesting that the high-pressure structural transition is activated and initiated by dislocation nucleation. This dislocation-mediated amorphization has important implications in understanding the failure mechanisms of superhard materials at stresses far below their theoretical strengths.

In this paper, the influence of toluene as the process control agent (PCA) and pre-milling on the extension of solid solubility of 7 wt.% Cr in Cu by mechanical alloying in a high energy ball mill was investigated. The structural evolution and microstructure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques, respectively. The solid solution formation at different conditions was analyzed by copper lattice parameter change during the milling process. It was found that both the presence of PCA and pre-milling of Cr powder lead to faster dissolution of Cr . The mean crystallite size was also calculated and showed to be about 10 nm after 80 hours of milling.
