Nonstoichiometric TiC0.5 and (TiNb)0.5 powders were prepared by the mechanical alloying process using Ti, Nb, and TiC powders as raw materials. Furthermore, the as-prepared TiC0.5 and (TiNb)0.5 powders were used as initial materials to fabricate TiC0.5 and (TiNb)0.5 compacts under high pressures and high temperatures (HTHP) of 5.5 GPa and 1200–1550 °C for 5 min. Phase identification and microstructure of the mechanical-alloyed powders and the sintered TiC0.5 and (TiNb)0.5 compacts were realized by an X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. The results indicate that the as-prepared TiC0.5 and (TiNb)0.5 powders have a similar crystal structure of face-centered cubic (FCC) to TiC. The sintered (TiNb)0.5 compact has good Vickers hardness (~16 GPa), and notably, excellent fracture toughness (~7.3 MPa·m1/2). The non-stoichiometric compound not only reduced the sintering temperature of covalent compounds, but also greatly enhanced the mechanical properties of the materials. Thus, we have provided a novel synthetic strategy for the production of a compound with high-strength covalent bonds.

Most high-entropy alloys and medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) possess outstanding mechanical properties. In this study, a series of lightweight nonequiatomic Al50–Ti–Cr–Mn–V MEAs with a dual phase were produced through arc melting and drop casting. These cast alloys were composed of body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic phases. The density of all investigated MEAs was less than 5 g/cm3 in order to meet energy and transportation industry requirements. The effect of each element on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties of these MEAs was investigated. All the MEAs demonstrated outstanding compressive strength, with no fractures observed after a compressive strain of 20%. Following the fine-tuning of the alloy composition, the Al50Ti20Cr10Mn15V5 MEA exhibited the most compressive strength (~1800 MPa) and ductility (~34%). A significant improvement in the mechanical compressive properties was achieved (strength of ~2000 MPa, strain of ~40%) after annealing (at 1000 °C for 0.5 h) and oil-quenching. With its extremely high specific compressive strength (452 MPa·g/cm3) and ductility, the lightweight Al50Ti20Cr10Mn15V5 MEA demonstrates good potential for energy or transportation applications in the future.

Strength And Ductility

A novel lightweight Al-Ti-Cr-Mn-V medium-entropy alloy (MEA) system was developed using a nonequiatiomic approach and alloys were produced through arc melting and drop casting. These alloys comprised a body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) dual phase with a density of approximately 4.5 g/cm3. However, the fraction of the BCC phase and morphology of the FCC phase can be controlled by incorporating other elements. The results of compression tests indicated that these Al-Ti-Cr-Mn-V alloys exhibited a prominent compression strength (~1940 MPa) and ductility (~30%). Moreover, homogenized samples maintained a high compression strength of 1900 MPa and similar ductility (30%). Due to the high specific compressive strength (0.433 GPa·g/cm3) and excellent combination of strength and ductility, the cast lightweight Al-Ti-Cr-Mn-V MEAs are a promising alloy system for application in transportation and energy industries.

High hardness, high strength, high fracture toughness and low density are required for novel bulletproof materials. B4C/SiC composite ceramic is one of the most potential candidates. In this study, B4C/SiC composite ceramic was prepared by reaction sintering. The influence of B4C content, species and content of carbon, sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of B4C/SiC composite ceramic were studied. A high performance B4C/SiC composite ceramic was sintered at 1750°C for 30 min. Phenolic resin and carbon black were both chosen as carbon sources, whose favorable contents were 10wt%, 5wt%, respectively. The density of sintered bodies reduces with B4C content increases. To some extent, fracture toughness, bending strength improve initially and then deteriorate with the increase of B4C content whose optimal amount is 30wt%. The optimal fracture toughness and bending strength of the B4C/SiC composite ceramic are 5.07MPa·m1/2 and 487MPa, respectively. Meanwhile, the Viker-hardness of the sintered body is 30.2GPa, the density is as low as 2.82g/cm3.

Sacking fault energy (SFE) is the key role in solving this problem of getting high strength and expected ductility simultaneously. This work adds Al as the procedure of decreasing SFE in Cu face-centered cubic. It is an economic and effective method to counterpart Cold-rolling at liquid nitrogen temperature to get high density deformation twin and ultrafine-grains size. After undergoing tensile and X-ray diffraction tests, Cu-4.5 wt.% Al plays the best performance on both strength and ductility. Thus there exist the optimal SFE of Cu-Al alloys which get both high strength and expected ductility simultaneously.

In the present day engineering design and development activities many Scientists, Researchers and Engineers are striving hard to develop new and better engineering materials, which accomplishes high strength, low weight and energy efficient materials since the problems of environment and energy are major threshold areas. The development of new materials is growing day by day to replace the conventional materials in aerospace, marine engineering, automobile engineering industries etc., Hence, composite materials are found to be an alternative. A variety of metals and their alloys such as Aluminum, Magnesium and Titanium are comprehensively used as matrix materials. Among these Aluminium alloys have been used extensively, because of their excellent strength, low density, corrosion resistance and toughness. Similarly, many researchers have attempted to develop aluminum based metal matrix composites using different reinforcements such as SiC, Al2O3, B4C, TiC, TiO2, B4C etc., are added to the matrix to get required MMC’s. Among these reinforcements, B4C emerged as an exceptional reinforcement due to its high strength to density ratio, possesses high hardness and avoid the formation of interfacial reaction products with aluminum. Hence, in this paper attempts are made to fabricate Al 6061-3, 6, 9 and 12 wt.% B4C metal matrix composites by stir casting process to study fatigue life and fracture toughness as per ASTM standards. It is evident that fatigue strength and fracture toughness of the composites were enhanced with the addition of the wt.% of the reinforcement.

The focus of this study is the evaluation of the influence of Ti concentration on the tensile properties of powder metallurgy high entropy alloys. Three Ni1.5Co1.5CrFeTiX alloys with X = 0.3; 0.5 and 0.7 were produced by mechanical alloying and spark plasma sintering. Additional annealing heat treatment at 1100 °C was utilized to obtain homogenous single-phase face centered cubic (FCC) microstructures, with minor oxide inclusions. The results show that Ti increases the strength of the alloys by increasing the average atomic size misfit i.e., solid solution strengthening. An excellent combination of mechanical properties can be obtained by the proposed method. For instance, annealed Ni1,5Co1,5CrFeTi0.7 alloy possessed the ultimate tensile strength as high as ~1600 MPa at a tensile ductility of ~9%, despite the oxide contamination. The presented results may serve as a guideline for future alloy design of novel, inclusion-tolerant materials for sustainable metallurgy.

Zr–Si–N films were fabricated through the co-deposition of high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and radio-frequency magnetron sputtering (RFMS). The mechanical properties of the films fabricated using various nitrogen flow rates and radio-frequency powers were investigated. The HiPIMS/RFMS co-sputtered Zr–Si–N films were under-stoichiometric. These films with Si content of less than 9 at.%, and N content of less than 43 at.% displayed a face-centered cubic structure. The films’ hardness and Young’s modulus exhibited an evident relationship to their compressive residual stresses. The films with 2–6 at.% Si exhibited high hardness of 33–34 GPa and high Young’s moduli of 346–373 GPa, which was accompanied with compressive residual stresses from −4.4 to −5.0 GPa.
