Solute misfit and solute interaction effects on strengthening: A case study in AuNi

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Shankha Nag

AuNi is a classic long-studied fcc alloy combining a very "large"atom (Au) and a very "small"atom (Ni), and the large atomic size misfits suggest very high strengthening. Here, AuNi is used as a model alloy for the testing of new strengthening theories in ...

Constraining the baryonic feedback with cosmic shear using the DES Year-3 small-scale measurements

Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek, Yi Zhang, Binglun Yin

We use the small scales of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year-3 cosmic shear measurements, which are excluded from the DES Year-3 cosmological analysis, to constrain the baryonic feedback. To model the baryonic feedback, we adopt a baryonic correction model ...

A ductility criterion for bcc high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Eleanor Yi Kei Mak

A current goal driving alloy development is the identification of alloy compositions for high temperature applications but with the additional requirement of sufficient ductility at ambient temperatures. Multicomponent, single-phase, polycrystalline High E ...

Machine learning for metallurgy II. A neural-network potential for magnesium

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Eleanor Yi Kei Mak

Interatomic potentials are essential for studying fundamental mechanisms of deformation and failure in metals and alloys because the relevant defects (dislocations, cracks, etc.) are far above the scales accessible to first-principles studies. Existing pot ...

Design of Ductile Rare-Earth-Free Magnesium Alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

Pure Mg has low ductility due to a transition of < c+a > pyramidal dislocations to a sessile basal-oriented structure. Dilute alloying generally improves ductility. Enhancement of pyramidal cross-slip from the lower-energy pyramidal II plane to the higher- ...

Origin of high strength in the CoCrFeNiPd high-entropy alloy

William Curtin, Binglun Yin

IMPACT STATEMENT Experiments and theory are highlighting chemical ordering in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as important for mechanical properties but the high strength in CoCrFeNiPd is predicted here to be achievable in the random alloy due to the large misf ...

Yield strength and misfit volumes of NiCoCr and implications for short-range-order

William Curtin, Binglun Yin

The face-centered cubic medium-entropy alloy NiCoCr has received considerable attention for its good mechanical properties, uncertain stacking fault energy, etc, some of which have been attributed to chemical short-range order (SRO). Here, we examine the y ...

Vanadium is an optimal element for strengthening in both fcc and bcc high-entropy alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Francesco Maresca

The element Vanadium (V) appears unique among alloying elements for providing high strengthening in both the fcc Co-Cr-Fe-Mn-Ni-V and bcc Cr-Mo-Nb-Ta-V-W-Hf-Ti-Zr high-entropy alloy families. The origin of Vanadium's special role is its atomic volume: larg ...

Designing high ductility in magnesium alloys

William Curtin, Binglun Yin, Zhaoxuan Wu, Rasool Ahmad

The thermally activated pyramidal-to-basal (PB) transition of (c + a) dislocations, transforming glissile pyramidal dissociated core structures into sessile basal dissociated ones, lies at the origin of low ductility in pure magnesium (Mg). Solute-accelera ...
