Abstract This review focuses on grain growth behaviors and the underlying mechanisms of bulk electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel and nickel-iron alloys. Effects of some important factors on grain growth are described. During thermal-induced grain growth process, grain boundary migration plays a key role. For similar thermal conditions, due to grain boundary mobility with solute drag, limited grain growth occurs in nanocrystalline alloys, as compared to pure metals. Nonetheless, in the case of stress-induced grain growth process, there are a variety of mechanisms in samples having various deformation histories. As an example the grain growth of nanocrystalline nickel and Ni-20%Fe alloy with nearly the same grain-size distribution and average grain size is compared in this paper. Thermal analysis indicates nanocrystalline nickel is much more prone to rapid grain growth than nanocrystalline Ni-20%Fe alloy. Nevertheless, grain growth of nanocrystalline Ni-20%Fe is found to be more pronounced than nanocrystalline nickel during rolling deformation.

Bulk Nanocrystalline

The nanocrystalline tantalum-ceramic composites were made using mechanical alloying followed by pulse plasma sintering (PPS). The tantalum acts as a matrix, to which the ceramic reinforced phase in the concentration of 5, 10, 20, and 40 wt.% was introduced. Oxides (Y2O3 and ZrO2) and carbides (TaC) were used as the ceramic phase. The mechanical alloying results in the formation of nanocrystalline grains. The subsequent hot pressing in the mode of PPS results in the consolidation of powders and formation of bulk nanocomposites. All the bulk composites have the average grain size from 40 nm to 100 nm, whereas, for comparison, the bulk nanocrystalline pure tantalum has the average grain size of approximately 170 nm. The ceramic phase refines the grain size in the Ta nanocomposites. The mechanical properties were studied using the nanoindentation tests. The nanocomposites exhibit uniform load-displacement curves indicating good integrity and homogeneity of the samples. Out of the investigated components, the Ta-10 wt.% TaC one has the highest hardness and a very high Young’s modulus (1398 HV and 336 GPa, resp.). For the Ta-oxide composites, Ta-20 wt.% Y2O3 has the highest mechanical properties (1165 HV hardness and 231 GPa Young’s modulus).

Zirconia Toughened Alumina

The effect of doping small amounts of Magnesium Oxide ranging between 0 to 1 vol% on Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) composites which is one of main biomaterial used for production of total hip arthroplasty were investigated. The samples were produced via conventional two-stage sintering with T1 varies between 1450°C and 1550°C with heating rate of 20°C/min. The samples were then rapid cooled to T2 set at 1400°C with holding time of 12 hours. The microstructural and mechanical properties of the two-stage sintered ZTA are then investigated to determine the feasibility of MgO addition. Combination of two-stage sintering at T1 above 1500 and also small amount of MgO up to 0.5 vol% were shown to have positive effect on ZTA which exhibited improvement on its grain size, mechanical properties such as Vickers hardness, Young’s modulus and fracture toughness compared to undoped ZTA composites. The sample with 0.5 vol% MgO addition sintered at T1 of 1500°C and T2 1400°C was able to achieve Vickers hardness of 19.6 GPa, Young’s modulus of 408 GPa and fracture toughness of 6.8 MPam1/2 without significant grain growth compared to undoped ZTA composites.

Increasing Temperature

Alumina and zirconia are important materials for energy and optical applications. In this study, the effect of thermal cycling on grain size and residual stress was reported. Residual stress was measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD) sin2ψ method for the as-received and the samples after thermal cycling up to 900 cycles. For alumina, the measured residual stress is approximately 96 MPa in tensile for the as-received material, and increases to its highest value of 480 MPa after 650 thermal cycles. The residual stress decreases from 480 MPa to 96 MPa in tensile with increased thermal cycling from 650 to 900 cycles. The crystallized grain size calculated from the diffraction pattern shows that the mean crystallized grain size is about 93 nm for the as-received and increases to 232 nm after 650 thermal cycles. This result is consistent with the enlarged grain size observed by scanning electron microscopy for the alumina after 650 thermal cycles reported earlier. With continued thermal cycling up to 900 cycles, the crystallized grain size is greatly reduced to 104 nm. It suggests that evolution of the crystallized grain size is correlated with the residual stress. For yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP), the mechanical properties at room temperature, are consistent with the property values provided by the manufacturer. The Young’s modulus of shows a non-linear inverse relationship with increasing temperature. The degradation of the Young’s modulus mostly occurs prior to 400 °C and to a less extent in the temperature range of 400 °C up to 850 °C. The Vickers hardness number for the as-received Y-TZP material decreases to a very small extent after 560 thermal cycles and increases approximately 2%, after 1200 thermal cycles. This is consistent with the trend of the Young’s modulus for thermal-cycled specimens.

ABSTRACTA newly theoretical calculation for the Young's modulus Ey of poly-Si and a-Si thin films based on the combination of grain and grain boundary effects as well as the dependance of crystalline orientations is presented. The calculated results are in agreement with the experimental results in a wide range of grain size and hydrogen concentrations published in the literatures. The reason for aberration among experimental data of poly-Si and a-Si films caused by different hydrogen concentrations, texture and grain size has been discussed. The results offer a better understanding of. the effects of film structures on elastic properties of poly-Si and a-Si films.
