Microscopic Digital Image Correlation Analysis of Strain Distributions in Stainless Steel 316L Induced by Multiaxial Cyclic Loading

Fatigue damage in materials results in localized strain at the microstructural level. In many engineering components of the cooling circuits of nuclear power plants, where austenitic steels are used, the material experiences multiaxial cyclic loading, eith ...

The influence of lattice misfit on screw and edge dislocation-controlled solid solution strengthening in Mo-Ti alloys

William Curtin, Carolina Baruffi, You Rao

Mo-Ti alloys form solid solutions over a wide range of compositions, with lattice misfit parameters increasing significantly with titanium content. This indicates a strong increase in the critical stress for edge dislocation motion. Here, we probe the tran ...

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 ...

Machine learning for metallurgy IV: A neural network potential for Al-Cu-Mg and Al-Cu-Mg-Zn

William Curtin, Daniel John Gilles Marchand

Most metallurgical properties, e.g., dislocation propagation, precipitate formation, can only be fully understood atomistically but most phenomena and quantities of interest cannot be measured experimentally. Accurate simulation methods are essential but f ...

The thermally activated deformation behaviour of single-crystalline microcast aluminium wires

Andreas Mortensen, Léa Deillon, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden

A microcasting process is used to produce high aspect ratio ( > 30) monocrystalline pure aluminium wires with a diameter between 14 and 115 mu m. The role of thermal activation in the plastic deformation of these microwires is measured by means of (single) ...

{10(1)over-bar2} twinning mechanism during in situ micro-tensile loading of pure Mg: Role of basal slip and twin-twin interactions

Roland Logé, Johann Michler, Xavier Maeder, Amit Sharma, Daniele Casari, Nicolò Maria Della Ventura

An SEM in situ uniaxial tensile testing setup allowing HR-EBSD acquisition during deformation was used to study the extension twinning mechanism in magnesium(Mg) at the micron scale. Structures were fabricated with two different crystal orientations, respe ...

Theory of kink migration in dilute BCC alloys

William Curtin, Alireza Ghafarollahi

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 ...

High energy barriers for edge dislocation motion in body-centered cubic high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Recep Ekin Kubilay, Francesco Maresca, Alireza Ghafarollahi

Recent theory proposes that edge dislocations in random body-centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys have high barriers for motion, conveying high strengths up to high temperatures. Here, the energy barriers for edge motion are computed for two model allo ...

Analysis of double cross-slip of pyramidal I < c plus a > screw dislocations and implications for ductility in Mg alloys

William Curtin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

Solute accelerated cross-slip of pyramidal < c + a > screw dislocations has recently been recognized as a crucial mechanism in enhancing the ductility of solid-solution Mg alloys. In pure Mg, cross-slip is ineffective owing to the energy difference between ...
