Twinning structures in ordered nonstoichiometric ZrC0.6have been investigated experimentally and theoretically.Viatransmission electron microscopy and selected area electron diffraction measurements, {111}-specific twins have been observed. Interestingly, two special types of twinning interfaces,i.e.(111)Cand (111)Zrinterfaces, are recognized to be formed as a result of the presence of ordered carbon vacancies. In contrast to the high stacking fault energy for twinning formation in stoichiometric ZrC, first-principles calculations indicate that the presence of ordered carbon vacancies leads to a great reduction in the twinning interfacial energy, thus favouring the stabilization of twinning structures in the ordered ZrC0.6.

The stress behavior and the associated microstructure evolution of industrial Ti(C,N)/α-Al2O3 coatings subjected to thermal cycling are investigated by in situ energy dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Temperature-dependent stresses and changes in microstructural parameters (domain size and microstrain) are analyzed by in situ measurements at different temperatures between 25 and 800 °C, both in the heating up and cooling down step, including several thermal cycles. Transmission electron microscopy is used to evaluate defects before and after the thermal treatment. The introduction of high compressive stresses in α-Al2O3 by top-blasting is connected to a high defect density at the basal planes of the alumina layer. The stress relaxation of the alumina layer at high temperatures is associated with a successive annihilation of defects until a reversible temperature-dependent stress condition is set. Top-blasting does not change the initial microstructure and residual stress of the Ti(C,N) layer. Ti(C,N) shows a cyclic stress behavior associated with the heat treatment and an elastic deformation behavior in the temperature range investigated.

Layered stacking characteristics of ternary Zr–Al–C carbides were investigated using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Three previously unknown compounds, i.e., Zr4Al3C6, Zr5Al6C9, and Zr7Al6C11 were identified. The present study extends the structural information of ternary Zr–Al–C ceramics. The influence of the thickness of the NaCl-type Zr-C slab on the elastic properties of ternary Zr–Al–C ceramics is discussed based on first-principles calculations. In addition, direct atomic-resolution observations illustrate the process for forming the unique layered crystal structures of ternary Zr–Al–C ceramics. These results also provide insights into the formation mechanism of layered ternary Zr–Al–C carbides.
