Evolution Of Microstructure

The evolution of microstructure and texture in a Fe-22wt%Mn-0.6C% steel during plastic deformation was studied by interrupted tensile tests at plastic strain levels ranging from 5 to 40% at 10-3 s-1. The steel present in as-received condition a fully recrystallized austenitic microstructure and almost random texture. A microstructural analysis of deformed samples reveals the presence of thin bands. As no martensite was detected by X-ray diffraction, these striations must correspond to deformation twins. The amount of twins increases progressively with plastic strain. At lower deformation, these bands are parallel and start and terminate at the grain boundaries. As the strain level increases, the number of the twins band increases and they intersect each other. This evolution of the microstructure is accompanied by the appearance a fiber texture with the <111> and <100> directions parallel to the tensile direction

Energy-variable X-ray diffraction at a synchrotron beamline has been used to control the X-ray penetration depth and thus to study structural parameters in polycrystalline and textured materials with depth resolution. This approach was applied to the investigation of the depth evolution of microstructure in the nacre layer of bivalvia seashells. According to conventional X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, the nacre layer in the seashells ofAcanthocardia tuberculataunder investigation consists of large [001]-oriented lamellae packed nearly parallel to the inner shell surface. In this paper, attention is focused on the microstructural information that can be extracted from the shapes of diffraction profiles (line profile analysis) measured at X-ray energies that are varied by small steps. Depth dependences of the thickness of the lamellae and the average microstrain fluctuation are revealed.

After 5% lithium was added to AZ31 magnesium alloy, the alloy was extruded at 380oC with the extrusion ratio of 101. Mechanical responses and microstructure evolution were investigated. The microstructure and texture evolution were examined by electronic backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Tensile tests in the tensile directions of 0o, 45oand 90owere carried out at room temperature. Lithium addition brought about the strong divergence of the grain orientation and triggered the spread of the (0002) basal texture. The room temperature ductility of the extruded Mg alloy sheets was improved due to the tilted weak basal texture.

Evolution Of Microstructure

Microstructures of a TiC/Ni80Cr20 cermet, subjected to single high-current-density electropulsing, were characterized by x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Under the electropulsing, the shift of NiCr peaks versus the reverse change of TiC counterparts illustrates that the treatment gives rise to strong thermal stress impacting on the cermet. The stress, accompanied by the transient rise of temperature, led to microstructural evolutions of the cermet. Some nanostructured TiC grains, consisting of many nanocrystallites with small-angle grain boundaries, developed during electropulsing. Also, many regions teemed with coexisting nanosized TiC and NiCr crystallites, which possessed good bonding. Within the NiCr regions, large amounts of deformation twins were produced by the electropulsing.

Electroslag Refining

Molybdenum (Mo) is an important alloying element in maraging steels. In this study, we altered the Mo concentration during the production of four cobalt-free maraging steels using an electroslag refining process. The microstructure of the four forged maraging steels was evaluated to examine phase contents by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Additionally, we assessed the corrosion resistance of the newly developed alloys in 3.5% NaCl solution and 1 M H2SO4 solution through potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Furthermore, we performed SEM and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis after corrosion to assess changes in microstructure and Raman spectroscopy to identify the presence of phases on the electrode surface. The microstructural analysis shows that the formation of retained austenite increases with increasing Mo concentrations. It is found from corrosion study that increasing Mo concentration up to 4.6% increased the corrosion resistance of the steel. However, further increase in Mo concentration reduces the corrosion resistance.

Evolution Of Microstructure

AbstractWe have found the dissociation behavior of immiscible Cu-alloy thin films to fall into three broad categories that correlate most closely with the form of the Cu-rich end of the binary alloy phase diagrams. The motivation for these studies was to use the energy released by the dissociation of an immiscible alloy, in addition to other driving forces commonly found in thin films and lines, to promote grain growth and texture evolution. In this work, the dissociation behavior of eight dilute (3.3 ± 0.5 at% solute) binary Cu-systems was investigated, with five alloying elements selected from group VB and VIB, two from group VillA, and one from group 1B. These alloying elements are respectively V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, Fe, Ru and Ag. Several experimental techniques, including in situ resistance and stress measurements as well as in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction, were used to follow the progress of solute precipitation in approximately 500 nm thick films. In addition, transmission electron microscopy was used to investigate the evolution of microstructure of Cu(Ta) and Cu(Ag). For all eight alloys, dissociation occurred upon heating, with the rejection of solute and evolution of microstructure and texture often occurring in multiple steps that range over several hundred degrees between approximately 100 and 900°C. However, in most cases, substantial reduction in resistivity of the films took place at temperatures of interest to metallization schemes, namely below 400°C.

White X-ray diffraction with micro-beam synchrotron radiation was used to analyze microscopic stress evolved in coarse grains of a twinning-induced plasticity Fe-Mn-C steel under tensile loading. In addition, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to determine the crystal orientation of grains in the polycrystalline Fe-Mn-C steel. Based on these orientation data, the stress and strain distribution in the microstructure of the steel under tensile loading was estimated using FEM simulation where the elastic anisotropy or the crystal orientation dependence of the elasticity was taken into account. The FEM simulation showed that the strain distribution in the microstructure depends on the crystal orientation of each grain. The stress analysis by the white X-ray diffraction indicated that the direction of the maximum principal stresses at measured points in the steel under tensile loading are mostly oriented toward the tensile direction. This is qualitatively consistent with the results of by the FEM simulation, although absolute values of the principal stresses may contain the effect of heterogeneous plastic deformation on the stress distribution.

In this study, we focused on the sintering performance of Ti-4.5Al-3V-2Mo-2Fe (SP-700) and mechanical properties of SP-700 reinforced with titanium boride (TiB/SP-700) fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS). TiB whiskers formed in titanium by a solid-state reaction of titanium and TiB2 particles were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The TiB/SP-700 was sintered at temperatures of 1073, 1173, and 1273 K and a pressure of 70 MPa for 10, 30, and 50 min. The volume fraction of TiB ranged from 1.7 vol.% to 19.9 vol.%. Tensile tests of TiB/SP-700 were conducted at room temperature, and the effect of TiB volume fraction on the tensile properties was investigated.
