Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) has been extensively studied in bulk materials. However, little is known about the role of H on the plastic deformation and fracture mechanisms of nanoscale materials such as nanowires. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study the influence of H segregation on the behavior of intergranular cracks in bicrystalline α-Fe nanowires. The results demonstrate that segregated H atoms have weak embrittling effects on the predicted ductile cracks along the GBs, but favor the cleavage process of intergranular cracks in the theoretically brittle directions. Furthermore, it is revealed that cyclic loading can promote the H accumulation into the GB region ahead of the crack tip and overcome crack trapping, thus inducing a ductile-to-brittle transformation. This information will deepen our understanding on the experimentally-observed H-assisted brittle cleavage failure and have implications for designing new nanocrystalline materials with high resistance to HE.

ABSTRACTRole of the crystallography of Ni 3Al(γ') precipitates along grain boundaries of NiAl(β) in the mechanical properties was systematically investigated using β bicrystals with controlled orientations. γ' phase preferentially precipitated along βgrain boundaries showing a film-like shape. The selected variant of γ'-film satisfied the Kurdjumov-Sachs (K-S) relation with a neighboring βcrystal but it deviated from the relation with another adjacent βcrystal. In the course of tensile deformation at room temperature, fracture occurred preferentially at incoherent (β/γ') interphase boundary deviating from the K-S relation and the fracture stress decreased with increasing deviation angle. In contrast, the interphase boundary sliding occurred preferentially at irrational (β/γ') interface at 1073K. The sliding displacement increased with increasing deviation angle. Thus, the mechanical properties of β bicrystals with γ'-film were found to depend strongly on the interphase boundary character.

We report that various metallic glassy nanostructures including nanoridges, nanocones, nanowires, nanospheres, and nanoscale-striped patterns are spontaneously formed on the fracture surface of bulk metallic glasses at room temperature. A clear correlation between the dimensions of these nanostructures and the size of the plastic zone at the crack tip has been found, providing a way to control nanostructure sizes by controlling the plastic zone size intrinsically or extrinsically. This approach to forming metallic glassy nanostructures also has implications for understanding the deformation and fracture mechanisms of metallic glasses.

Magnesium alloy EZ10 was deformed in tension at temperatures from room temperature up to 400 °C with an initial strain rate of 2.7x10-3s-1. Deformation tests showed a rapid decrease of the tensile yield strength at temperatures higher than 300 °C. Microstructure of the deformed samples was analysed with light microscope. Fracture mechanisms were estimated using scanning electron microscopy.

SYNOPSIS The ß-solidifying g-TAl intermetallic alloys of nominal composition Ti-48Al (binary alloy), Ti-48Al-2Nb (ternary alloy), Ti-48Al-2Nb-0.7Cr (quaternary alloy), and Ti-48Al-2Nb-0.7Cr-0.3Si (quinary alloy) (in at.%) were developed. The materials produced were tensile tested at room temperature. The as-cast microstructures and fracture surfaces of the tensile tested specimens were examined using conventional metallographic methods. Microstructural examination indicated that the alloys were comprised of lamellar structures (a2+γ) embedded in columnar dendritic cores in the as-cast condition. However, the quinary alloy contained a T5Si3 second phase. The alloys exhibited no detectable ductility during tensile deformation, indicating the brittleness of all the materials. The fracture surfaces revealed that the alloys failed by translamellar fracture with correspondingly few cleavage facets. Keywords: γ-TlAl based alloys, ß-solidifying, translamellar fracture.
