Development of structural materials for service under extreme conditions is slowed by the lack of high-throughput test protocols. Here, a method that integrates high-throughput nanoindentation mapping with precise temperature control under a vacuum atmosphere is demonstrated. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) may possess the strength and stability required of high-temperature structural materials in next-generation...
Spent potlining (SPL) is a well-known hazardous waste from primary aluminum production, and recycling it as an alternative fuel for metallurgical furnaces is a promising application. However, because of the presence of volatile fluorides and fluoride compounds, there are significant environmental concerns and practical/engineering issues. An environmentally friendly technique involving pretreatment...
We summarize recent work on helium (He) interaction with various heterophase boundaries under high temperature irradiation. We categorize the ion-affected material beneath the He-implanted surface into three regions of depth, based on the He/vacancy ratio. The differing defect structures in these three regions lead to the distinct temperature sensitivity of He-induced microstructure evolution. The...
Nan Li is the guest editor for the Nanomechanical Materials Behavior Committee of the TMS Materials Processing & Manufacturing Division (MPMD); and the coordinator of the topic Dynamic Probing of Microstructure Evolution in Nanostructured Materials in this issue.
We present in situ indentation in a transmission electron microscope on Al-TiN multilayers with individual layer thicknesses of 50 nm and 2.7 nm to explore the effect of length scales on the plastic co-deformability of a metal and a ceramic. At 50 nm, plasticity was confined to the Al layers with brittle fracture in the TiN layers. At 5 nm and below, cracking in TiN was suppressed with co-deformation...
