Heterostructured ferritic steels with bimodal-grained lamellar (BG-L) and ultrafine-grained lamellar (UFG-L) microstructure were prepared through a warm deformation process. The BG-L steel exhibits enhanced mechanical properties compared to conventional quenched and tempered (QT) steel. While the UFG-L steel demonstrates an outstanding combination of strength, ductility, and toughness. Furthermore, the UFG-L steels exhibit no ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) from room temperature (RT) to liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT) and the Charpy impact energy remains as high as 314 J at LNT. The enhanced toughness at LNT can be attributed to the crack-arrester mechanism caused by grain-boundary delamination.

Understanding the deformation mechanism in polycrystalline metals is critical to use them in high-value high-risk applications. Here, we report an automated framework based on lattice rotation analysis for accurately identifying slip system and assessing the multiple slip activities in large data set of polycrystalline Zr, aims to statistically provide deep insight on deformation mechanism of Zr. Results show that multiple slip is the dominant slip system rather than single slip system. This method can be applied as a complementary method to the intragranular misorientation axis (IGMA) method and can act as bridges between macro-mechanical response and microstructural deformation mechanisms.

In this study, toughening of WC-Co composite prepared by amorphous-crystallization method was investigated. Co-rich nanoparticles, a Co(W,C) solid solution, were incorporated into the WC matrix through the process integrating crystallization of amorphous Co2W4C powder and its in-situ reaction with carbon. The microstructural evolution of the ceramic-metal composite during fabrication was studied in detail. Owing to the interactions between Co-rich nanoparticles coherent with the WC matrix and the dislocations and stacking faults inside WC grains, the composite exhibited high hardness and strength combined with exceptional fracture toughness. The mechanisms for the synergistic improvement of mechanical properties of the composite were disclosed.
本研究探讨了非晶-结晶法制备的 WC-Co 复合材料的增韧问题。通过非晶 Co2W4C 粉末的结晶及其与碳的原位反应,富 Co 纳米颗粒(一种 Co(W,C)固溶体)被加入到 WC 基体中。我们详细研究了陶瓷-金属复合材料在制造过程中的微观结构演变。由于富钴纳米粒子与碳化钨基体之间的相互作用,以及碳化钨晶粒内部的位错和堆积断层,复合材料表现出了高硬度、高强度和优异的断裂韧性。研究揭示了该复合材料机械性能协同改善的机制。
