An as-built and solutionized Ni-based superalloy built by additive manufacturing through a direct metal laser sintering technique is characterized to understand the microstructural differences as compared to the as-wrought alloy. Initially, each layer undergoes rapid solidification as it is melted by the laser; however, as the part is built, the underlying layers experience a variety of heating and...
Precipitation simulation of AZ91 (Mg-9Al-1Zn; all compositions are in wt.% unless otherwise stated.) magnesium alloy is carried out in this work using the PanPrecipitation module of Pandat™ software. In addition to the software, the thermodynamic database, mobility database, and precipitation database for AZ91 were developed to perform the simulation. The simulated results, such as the number density...
For the first time, a face-centered-cubic, single-crystal CoCrFeNiAl0.3 (designated as Al0.3), high-entropy alloy (HEA) was successfully synthesized by the Bridgman solidification (BS) method, at an extremely low withdrawal velocity through a constant temperature gradient, for which it underwent two BS steps. Specially, at the first BS step, the alloy sample underwent several morphological transitions...
Bulk Cu/Nb multilayered composites with high interfacial content have been synthesized via the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) method. Experimental characterization shows that these multilayers with submicronmeter and nanometer individual layer thicknesses contain a predominant, steady-state interface with the Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship joining the mutual {112} planes of Cu and Nb. In...
Interfaces, such as grain boundaries, phase boundaries, and surfaces, are important in materials of any microstructural size scale, whether the microstructure is coarse-grained, ultrafine-grained, or nano-grained. In nanostructured materials, however, they dominate material response and as we have seen many times over, can lead to extraordinary and unusual properties that far exceed those of their...
Computer aided materials design is of increasing interest because the conventional approach solely relying on experimentation is no longer viable within the constraint of available resources. Modeling of microstructure and mechanical properties during precipitation plays a critical role in understanding the behavior of materials and thus accelerating the development of materials. Nevertheless, an...
Heat-resistant Ni-based alloys have been used extensively for components in turbine engines for the past 50 years. Platinum group metal (PGM) alloying additions (i.e., platinum and iridium) have been found in past studies to increase the oxidation and the hot corrosion performance of Ni-based alloys. The basis for this investigation was to develop a PGM-modified superalloy having high-temperature...
Thermodynamic modeling of precious-metal-modified Ni-based super-alloys (PMMS) was performed in this study using the CALPHAD approach. With this approach, the effects of platinum-group metals (PGMs) such as platinum, iridium, and ruthenium on the properties of nickel-based superalloys and their interplay with other alloying elements were understood from a thermodynamic and phase equilibrium point...
Phase transformation and microstructural evolution in commercial titanium alloys are extremely complex. Traditional models that characterize microstructural features by average values without capturing the anisotropy and spatially varying aspects may not be sufficient to quantitatively define the microstructure and hence to allow for establishing a robust microstructure-property relationship. This...
Knowledge of phase equilibria or phase diagrams and thermodynamic properties is important in alloy design and materials-processing simulation. In principle, stable phase equilibrium is uniquely determined by the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the Gibbs energy functions of the phases. PANDAT, a new computer software package for multicomponent phase-diagram calculation, was developed...
