Nanocrystalline Alloys: Enhanced Strengthening Mechanisms and Mechanically-Driven Structural Evolution
Nanocrystalline materials have experienced a great deal of attention in recent years, largely due to their impressive array of physical properties. In particular, nanocrystalline mechanical behavior has been of interest, as incredible strengths are predicted when grain size is reduced to the nanometer range. The vast majority of research to this point has focused on quantifying and understandin...
متن کاملPlasticity of nanocrystalline alloys with chemical order: on the strength and ductility of nanocrystalline Ni–Fe
Plastic deformation and alloying of nanocrystalline Ni-Fe is studied by means of atomic scale computer simulations. By using a combination of Monte-Carlo and molecular dynamics methods we find that solutes have an ordering tendency even if grain sizes are in the nanometer regime, where the phase field of the ordered state is widened as compared to larger grain sizes. Tensile testing of disorder...
متن کاملEmergence of localized plasticity and failure through shear banding during microcompression of a nanocrystalline alloy
Microcompression testing is used to probe the uniaxial stress–strain response of a nanocrystalline alloy, with an emphasis on exploring how grain size and grain boundary relaxation state impact the complete flow curve and failure behavior. The yield strength, strain hardening, strain-to-failure and failure mode of nanocrystalline Ni–W films with mean grain sizes of 5, 15 and 90 nm are studied u...
متن کاملAbrasive wear response of nanocrystalline Ni–W alloys across the Hall–Petchbreakdown
The abrasive wear of nanocrystalline Ni–W alloys with grain sizes of 5–105 nm has been studied using Taber abrasion testing. The wear resistance of the finest grain size specimen is found to be higher than would be predicted based on hardness alone. This deviation from Archard scaling is traced to mechanically-driven structural evolution, consisting of grain growth and grain boundary relaxation...
متن کاملEnhanced solid solution effects on the strength of nanocrystalline alloys
Solid solution strengthening in nanocrystalline alloys is studied using sputtered Ni–W as a model system. In the composition range of 0–20 at.% W, the sputtered alloys have a nanocrystalline structure with a grain size that is independent of composition. Nanoindentation of these alloys shows that solute addition increases strength to very high levels, almost in proportion to the solute content....
