AbstractIn situ tensile tests employing digital image correlation were conducted to study the martensitic transformation of oligocrystalline Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloys in depth. The influence of different grain orientations, i.e., near-〈001〉 and near-〈101〉, as well as the influence of different grain boundary misorientations are in focus of the present work. The results reveal that the reversibility of the martensite strongly depends on the type of martensitic evolving, i.e., twinned or detwinned. Furthermore, it is shown that grain boundaries lead to stress concentrations and, thus, to formation of unfavored martensite variants. Moreover, some martensite plates seem to penetrate the grain boundaries resulting in a high degree of irreversibility in this area. However, after a stable microstructural configuration is established in direct vicinity of the grain boundary, the transformation begins inside the neighboring grains eventually leading to a sequential transformation of all grains involved.

The crystallography of recrystallization nucleation has been investigated in channel-die deformed pure aluminium bicrystals with {100}<011>/{110}<001> and {100}<001>/{110}<001> orientations. The new grain orientations and misorientations were followed by systematic local orientation measurements using SEM and semi-automatic measurements in a TEM. In particular, orientation mapping combined with in-situ sample heating was used to investigate the formation and growth of new grains and their crystallographic orientation changes at very early stages of recrystallization. Grain boundary migration and ‘consumption’ of the as-deformed areas was always favoured along directions parallel to the traces of the {111} slip planes that had been most active during deformation. The orientations of the first formed nuclei were misoriented with respect to the orientations identified within the neighbouring deformed areas by α(<111>, <112>, or <100>)relations.

The influences of crystallographic and geometric parameters such as grain misorientation on the performance of short cracks are illustrated based on FEM in this paper. Firstly, the microstructure is simulated to account for the effects of grain misorientation on the performance of short cracks and the short cracks are initiated within the microstructure for the further investigation. The influence of grain misorientation is demonstrated by the change of neighboring grain orientations with an initiated short crack from 0° to 180°. The effects of the grain boundary on the short crack with the crack arrested or retarded are described by the crack propagation until it approached the grain boundary. The results will give more useful information such as crack arrested and retardation to the further research on the characteristics and evolution of short cracks.

AbstractThe electromigration-induced transport properties of Cu in Al-Cu alloys, and their effect on electromigration lifetimes in interconnects with bamboo grain structures are not well understood. To isolate and study the mechanisms and kinetics of Cu diffusion and electromigration in interconnects for which grain boundary transport is not dominant, we have developed a test structure consisting of parallel Al single crystal lines, with every alternate line terminating in contact pads. Cu is locally added to the same regions in all the lines, and the effect of temperature and electric field can be simultaneously characterized by analyzing the Cu concentration profile measured using electron-probe microanalysis. Comparison of the calculated values of diffusivities with the diffusivity of Cu through the Al lattice, and through dislocation cores in Al, suggests that the path of diffusion of Cu in Al single crystals is along the Al/AlOx interface.

The microstructure of a material determines its mechanical properties. Since microstructure can be tailored by thermo-mechanical processing of the metal, it is important to understand how the microstructure evolves under thermo-mechanical processing. We have constructed a phase field formalism to study recrystallization and grain growth in polycrystalline material. A unique feature of our model is that the Euler Angles (φ1,φ,φ2), obtained from Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD) data of a polycrystalline sample can be taken as an input to our model. In our model, the grain orientations at discrete grid points are represented by a non-conserved vector field, namely a quaternion. The free energy used for the evolution of the local orientations contains bulk energy for various preferred grain types and grain boundary energy. The grain orientations evolve in time following a Langevin dynamics. So far we have established that the rate of grain growth follows the usual L ~ t1/2scaling law when the grain boundary energy is independent of the misorientation angle between neighboring grains. Work on other aspects of this model is in progress.
