Strengthening mechanisms in dilute and random solid solution high-entropy BCC alloys

Alireza Ghafarollahi

Tuning the mechanical properties of metals, including strength, through adjusting the type and/or concentration of added solute elements, has been recognized as an effective way to design and produce materials with desired or optimized mechanical propertie ...

A Nearly Zero-Strain Li-Rich Rock-Salt Oxide with Multielectron Redox Reactions as a Cathode for Li-Ion Batteries

Corsin Battaglia, Chunyang Zhang, Xiao Liu, Yong Yang, Yining Li

Li-rich oxide cathodes are drawing increasing attention as next-generation cathode materials for the development of high-energy-density Li-ion batteries due to their strikingly high capacities. However, transition-metal migration, irreversible structural p ...

Plastic deformation in elemental BCC metals and dilute alloys is controlled by the slower of the kink pair nucleation and kink migration processes along screw dislocations. In alloys nucleation is facilitated and migration inhibited, leading to a concentra ...

The interplay between deformation mechanisms in austenitic 304 steel during uniaxial and equibiaxial loading

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Efthymios Polatidis, Wei-Neng Hsu

The preferred deformation mechanisms with respect to the load path are studied in a medium stacking fault energy 304 austenitic stainless steel that exhibits both transformation induced plasticity and twinning induced plasticity. In situ neutron diffractio ...

Mg and Ti alloys are attractive materials for structural applications in the transportation and biomedical industries due to their high strength-to-weight ratios. However, due to their hexagonally close-packed (HCP) lattice structure, they exhibit poor for ...

The effect of size on the plastic deformation of annealed cast aluminium microwires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

Monocrystalline, cast aluminium microwires of diameter (D) below 25 mu m free of micromilling artefacts are annealed under protective atmosphere. Annealing increases the flow stress of all tested microwires, by an amount that is found, in a Haasen plot of ...

Thermal activation parameters of plastic flow reveal deformation mechanisms in the CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy

William Curtin, Céline Varvenne, Joël Bonneville

To reveal the operating mechanisms of plastic deformation in an FCC high-entropy alloy, the activation volumes in CrMnFeCoNi have been measured as a function of plastic strain and temperature between 77 K and 423 K using repeated load relaxation experiment ...

Comprehensive first-principles study of stable stacking faults in hcp metals

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu

The plastic deformation in hcp metals is complex, with the associated dislocation core structures and properties not well understood on many slip planes in most hcp metals. A first step in establishing the dislocation properties is to examine the stable st ...
