Recently we have been investigating a class of nickel-base superalloys which possess substantial room temperature ductility. This improvement in ductility is directly related to improvements in grain boundary strength due to increased boundary cohesion through control of detrimental impurities and improved boundary shear strength by controlled grain boundary micros true tures.For these investigations an experimental nickel-base superalloy was doped with different levels of sulphur impurity. The micros tructure after a heat treatment of 1360°C for 2 hr, 1200°C for 16 hr consists of coherent precipitates of γ’ Ni3(Al,X) in a nickel solid solution matrix.

Abstract We have synthesized nanocrystalline thin films of Cu, Zn, TiN, and WC having uniform grain size in the range of 5 to 100 nm. This was accomplished by introducing a couple of manolayers of materials with high surface and have a weak interaction with the substrate. The hardness measurements of these well-characterized specimens with controlled microstructures show that hardness initially increases with decreasing grain size following the well-known Hall-Petch relationship (H∝d−½). However, there is a critical grain size below which the hardness decreases with decreasing grain size. The experimental evidence for this softening of nanocrystalline materials at very small grain sizes (referred as reverse Hall-Petch effect) is presented for the first time. Most of the plastic deformation in our model is envisioned to be due to a large number of small “sliding events” associated with grain boundary shear or grain boundary sliding. This grain-size dependence of hardness can be used to create functionally gradient materials for improved adhesion and wear among other improved properties.

The notched tensile tests of Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn laser welds with distinct post-weld heat treatments (PWHTs) were carried out at 150, 300, and 450oC and the results were also compared with the mill-annealed base metal (BM). The BM specimen had the highest notched tensile strength (NTS) among the specimens being tested at room temperature but became the lowest at 450oC. At/above 150oC, all welds showed a decrease in NTS with increasing temperature. The cracks tended to grow along the α / β interface in the BM specimen. The formation of premature fine pores at the grain boundary in the weld with PWHT at 704oC accounted for the intergranular dimple fracture of the specimen. The fracture appearance of the as-welded (AW) and the 482oC-aged (W-482) welds comprised of mainly transgranular dimple and increased the extent of grain boundary shear at elevated temperature.

We have developed a novel processing technique to fabricate tungsten carbide (WC) nanocomposites with uniform grain size. In this method, pulsed laser deposition of WC in conjunction with a few monolayers of nickel aluminide (NiAl) is used to control the grain size of nanocrystalline composites. The grain size of WC was controlled by the thickness of tungsten carbide and the substrate temperature. The role of NiAl is to ensure the nucleation of tungsten carbide islands, and it is relatively insoluble in WC. Using this approach, we have fabricated nanocomposites of grain sizes ranging from 6 nm to 35 nm. The hardness of the composite increases with the decrease in grain size, following approximately Hall-Petch relationship. Below a critical value, we observed a softening behavior which has been modeled to be related to intragrain deformation or grain boundary shear. The role of NiAl in grain boundary deformation is of particular interest in strengthening and stabilizing against the grain growth of nanocrystalline composites. The new WC-NiAl composite is expected to have superior high-temperature strength compared to conventional microcrystalline WC-Co composites.
