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.

Twinning significantly affects the deformation behavior of hexagonal close-packed Mg, so a thorough understanding of twin nucleation and growth mechanisms is required for enhancing the properties of Mg-based materials. The commonly observed tension twins have been traditionally linked to 〈c + a〉 dislocation dissociation, which results in zonal dislocations with large Burgers vectors several times that of a single twinning dislocation and some residual dislocations. Contrarily, our molecular dynamics simulations reveal twin nucleation from pyramidal II stacking faults through atomic shuffling without shear displacements. This introduces an alternative twin nucleation mechanism, different from the classically accepted mechanism of dislocation dissociation.
孪晶对六方密排Mg的变形行为有显著影响,因此深入了解孪晶成核和生长机制是提高Mg基材料性能的必要条件。通常观察到的{10¯2}张力孪晶传统上与< c + a >位错解离有关,这导致具有比单个孪晶位错大几倍的伯格矢量的带状位错和一些残余位错。相反,我们的分子动力学模拟显示,在没有剪切位移的情况下,锥体II层错通过原子洗牌形成{10¯2}孪核。这引入了一种替代的孪核机制,不同于经典接受的位错解离机制。
