Abstract The melting mechanism of single crystal and polycrystalline Nb 20.6 Mo 21.7 Ta 15.6 W 21.1 V 21.0 RHEAs was investigated by the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation using the 2NN MEAM potential. For the single crystal RHEA, the density profile displays an abrupt drop from 11.25 to 11.00 g/cm 3 at temperatures from 2910 to 2940 K, indicating all atoms begin significant local structural rearrangement. For polycrystalline RHEAs, a two-stage melting process is found. In the first melting stage, the melting of the grain boundary (GB) regions firstly occurs at the pre-melting temperature, which is relatively lower than the corresponding system-melting point. At the pre-melting temperature, most GB atoms have enough kinetic energies to leave their equilibrium positions, and then gradually induce the rearrangement of grain atoms close to GB. In the second melting stage at the melting point, most grain atoms have enough kinetic energies to rearrange, resulting in the chemical short-ranged order (CSRO) changes of all pairs.

The microstructure evolution during sintering and preparation of nanoceramic materials is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. A 3D model for nanoceramic crystal body including mainly crystal planes of (100) and (110) is developed. This model is used to simulate the hot pressing of nanoceramic, especially for SiC, by rapid heating-up and cooling-down under certain pressure. In this model, the Tersoff potential function is used to simulate the interatomic force between atoms. The microstructure during melting process and crystallizing process are investigated by analyzing energy evolution, pair correlation function and the graph of instantaneous place of the atoms. The results show that the microstructure is amorphous after melting, and crystal planes of (100) and (110) are different in density, melting point and microstructure, showing anisotropy.

The liquid phase separation (LPS) behavior in Co-Cr-based high-entropy alloys (HEAs) is an important target for the development of Co-Cr-based HEAs for metallic biomaterials (BioHEAs). The solidification microstructure in Ag-Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni-Ag, Co-Cr-Cu-Fe-Mn-Ni-Cu, and Co-Cr-Cu-Fe-Mn-Ni-B HEAs, which were designed as the combination of the equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi with Ag, Cu, and the interstitial element of B, was investigated as the fundamental research of LPS in Co-Cr-based HEAs. Ingots of equiatomic AgCoCrFeMnNi, equiatomic CoCrCuFeMnNi, non-equiatomic CoCrCuxFeMnNi (x = 2, 3), and CoCrCuxFeMnNiB0.2 (x = 1, 2, 3) with a small amount of B were fabricated using the arc-melting process. A macroscopic phase-separated structure was observed in the ingots of the equiatomic AgCoCrFeMnNi and CoCrCuxFeMnNiB0.2 (x = 2, 3) HEAs. The addition of a small amount of B enhanced the LPS tendency in the Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni-Cu HEAs. The LPS behavior was discussed through the heat of mixing and computer coupling of phase diagrams and thermochemistry (CALPHAD).

ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics simulations of the melting process of bulk copper were performed using the Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) with the interatomic potentials being described by the embedded atom method. The aim of the study was to understand the effects of high pressures and defects on the melting temperature. The simulations were visualised using Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD). The melting temperature of a perfect copper crystal, was found to be slightly higher than the experimentally observed value. The melting temperature as a function of pressure was determined and compared with experiment. Point and line defects, in the form of dislocations, were then introduced into crystal and the new melting temperature of the crystal determined. We find that the melting temperature decreases as the defect density is increased. Additionally, the slope of the melting temperature curve was found to decrease as the pressure was increased while the vacancy formation energy increases with pressure.
