Ni-based wrought superalloys exhibit pronounced temperature-dependent plasticity fluctuations, particularly manifesting as a plasticity trough within their service temperature range. This phenomenon critically impacts alloy design and performance reliability. While prior studies have established grain boundary (GB) crack initiation as a key driver of plasticity loss, the temperature-dependent GB deformation response remains poorly understood. To address this gap, in situ tensile testing coupled with advanced microscopy was conducted at room temperature, 750°C, and 950°C, incorporating grain size and environmental atmosphere effects. At 750°C, GB crack nucleation is governed by slip system misalignment (quantified via the Luster-Morris factor, m′), with low m′ GBs acting as preferential crack initiation sites. The vacuum environment suppresses the surface GB oxidation behavior, which helps to maintain the stability of necking behavior and improve intermediate temperature plasticity. Plasticity recovery at 950°C correlates with dynamic recrystallization mechanisms, where local lattice rotation near GBs facilitates strain accommodation. Furthermore, coarse-grained structures exhibit inferior intermediate-temperature plasticity compared to fine-grained counterparts due to reduced crack propagation resistance and slip-plane intersection-induced cleavage failure. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing GB design to mitigate plasticity fluctuations, enhancing the reliability of Ni-based superalloys in high-temperature applications.

Mg-Ca alloys are very promising materials for orthopedic applications owing to the beneficial role of Ca in promoting bone formation. However, they are susceptible to corrosion, especially for the localized corrosion caused by the presence of coarse Mg2Ca second phase. Here, single-phased Mg-Ca alloys fabricated through a unique high-pressure heat treatment were proposed to solve the issue. Through a proper high-pressure solid solution (HPSS) treatment, the maximum solubility of Ca in Mg can be improved to 1 wt.% under the pressure of 4 GPa and above the temperature of 750°C, which can’t be achieved through traditional solid solution treatment. Compared to the untreated ones, galvanic corrosion between different phases (Mg and Mg2Ca) was basically avoided in the Ca supersaturated Mg-1Ca alloy (single-phased). Along with corrosion, a high content of Ca released from the matrix tended to redeposit at the corroded surface and combined with O, P, and C, forming an intact Ca/P/O/C-rich layer, which mainly consisted of CaCO3, Ca3(PO4)2, and Ca(OH)2. The rapid formation of this intact layer provided an extra shielding effect for the beneath matrix, thus significantly improving corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. On the whole, a uniform corrosion mode was achieved with a 16-fold reduction in corrosion rate, from 1.83 mm/year in bi-phased ones to 0.11 mm/year in single-phased ones. This work provides a feasible approach to fabricate single-phased alloys containing alloying elements with no or limited solid solubility, pursuing better corrosion and biocompatibility performances.
