Abstract
Microstructure design of new high-performance alloys requires the combination of multiple hardening mechanisms. This study explores combining nanograins with spinodal decomposition strengthening in an Fe-51.4Cr (at.%) alloy. High-pressure torsion (HPT) produced a nanostructure with a 51 nm grain size. Atom probe tomography analysis of deformed and annealed samples revealed spinodal decomposition after one hour of annealing. HPT accelerated decomposition kinetics is due to the high vacancy concentration. Microhardness remained stable due to spinodal hardening, despite a decrease in the Hall-Petch strengthening contribution. However, fracture toughness decreased.
期刊介绍:
Scripta Materialia is a LETTERS journal of Acta Materialia, providing a forum for the rapid publication of short communications on the relationship between the structure and the properties of inorganic materials. The emphasis is on originality rather than incremental research. Short reports on the development of materials with novel or substantially improved properties are also welcomed. Emphasis is on either the functional or mechanical behavior of metals, ceramics and semiconductors at all length scales.
