A Mg-6Li-3Al-1Sn (LAT631) alloy with a bimodal-grained structure was prepared via hot extrusion, followed by room temperature rotary swaging (RTRS). The as-extruded LAT631 alloy undergoes dynamical recrystallization, and massive twins are introduced during RTRS. Especially, Al segregation is generated with massive Al solutes surrounding Sn-rich particles via RTRS. Introducing twins and Al-rich segregation are critical factors for enhancing strength, and the increased proportion of DRXed grains is beneficial to improving the elongation in RSed alloy. This research demonstrates that strategic control of recrystallization and segregation by rotary swaging provides an innovative approach to optimizing the mechanical properties of Mg-Li alloys.

Crystallization processes of glass-glass interfaces in sputtered CuZr thin film nanoglasses were directly studied using in situ heating experiments in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). By combining the in situ technique with a sophisticated symmetry analysis based on nanobeam diffraction patterns (NBDP) and electron correlation microscopy (ECM) to capture the relaxation dynamics in the nanoglass, correlations between excess volume and nucleation kinetics are attained on a microscopic scale. Particularly, glass-glass interfaces with their increased excess volume promote the onset of crystal nucleation.

We investigate the tensile deformation behavior and mechanism of nickel-based superalloy CM247LC, which has been subjected to various ageing treatment schemes, but possesses almost the same γ′ particle size, at 600°C. It is found that the transition in the deformation mode from particle shearing plus microtwinning to particle shearing accounts for the decrease in the work-hardening rate and tensile strength with ageing temperature. Our study provides a new strategy to design the heat treatment schedule to achieve a good compromise between the strength and plasticity for superalloys by tunning the operative deformation and fracture mechanisms.

The aviation industry is a key market that promote additive manufacturing (AM) technology since there are huge demands for precision manufacture of high-value complex structural parts and repair of local defects. Extensive research has been conducted on AM process, characterization, and fatigue evaluation of titanium alloy, but there are rare comprehensive reviews on fatigue evaluation methods used for AM aero-engine blades. Rigorous tests, evaluation, and certification are necessary before AM technology is applied in aero-engine blade repair, although it has shown great advantages in different engineering fields. This paper introduces the application of AM technology in the manufacturing and repair of aero-engine titanium alloy blades, summarizes the key factors affecting the fatigue performance of AM titanium alloys, thoroughly discusses the fatigue mechanism, research methods, and process optimizations of AM parts, and compares the differences among several prediction models in fatigue evaluation of AM titanium alloys.

The CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy alloy and TiB2p/CoCrFeNiMn high-entropy composite (HEC) were manufactured by Selective laser melting. For the CoCrFeNiMn, a coarse epitaxial columnar microstructure with strong crystallographic textures was generated. While in the TiB2p/CoCrFeNiMn, TiB2 particles are distributed in the significantly refined dendrites and nearly equiaxial grains, and phase transformation occurs to form σ phase. TiB2 and σ phase construct a strong interface relationship with the matrix. TiB2p/CoCrFeNiMn HEC has extremely high microhardness (329 ± 2 HV) and excellent wear resistance (coefficients of friction 0.31 ± 0.02). The wear mechanism of the HEC was studied refer to the microstructure, composition and hardness.

Here we investigated the nucleation of the Re, Ru-rich δ phase affected by stacking faults in the γ phase in a 4th generation Ni-based single crystal superalloy during the service at 800°C. The stacking faults in the γ phase were rich in Re and Ru, similar to the observed δ phase. And the stacking fault regions possessed a similar structure to the δ phase, promoting the transformation from γ phase to δ phase. Furthermore, the calculation results indicated that Ru had more significant promoting effects on the δ phase precipitation than Re, providing a reference for the alloy design.

The formation of microcracks at the interface of steel–copper heterostructures is prone to premature failure, which severely limits the application of heterostructure components. Herein, a new approach was proposed by doping nano-TiC in interface forming by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) to prevent the hot crack nucleation and block the solid-state crack propagation in steel–copper heterostructures . Benefitting from the TiC doping, the tensile strength of laminated steel–copper structures increased from 372 to 526 MPa. The findings of this research present a new approach to inhibit cracking in the fabrication of heterostructure component manufacturing using L-PBF.

The crystallographic orientations and residual stresses within recrystallizing grains in partially recrystallized β titanium—Gum Metal—were examined non-destructively in 3D using synchrotron Differential Aperture X-ray Microscopy. Contrary to common assumptions, significant local stresses and stress variations are observed within the recrystallizing grains. The results reveal that the development of these local residual stresses depends on the plastic deformation mode and material’s elastic constants, rather than grain properties such as size and orientation, or even the material’s yield stress. This work provides insights valuable for the design of advanced materials with heterogeneous microstructures. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Twinning-mediated plasticity has great potential for enhancing the strength and plasticity of Mg alloys, which is limited due to the lack of twin types. Here, we report a novel multistage twinning mode, i.e. the dominant twinning mode changes from single {101¯2} twins to the co-existence of {101¯2} and {112¯6} twins, in a deformed Mg-Al-Gd alloy. Introducing novel multistage twinning mode to accommodate strains appreciably along c-axes, combined with the interactions of high-density dislocations and dense twin boundaries, guarantees the high strain hardening of Mg alloys. These findings provide new insights into deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of Mg-alloys.

Reversibility of phase transformation, a basic requirement for functional properties of shape memory alloys, such as superelasticity, is severely affected by plastic deformation. Here, strain glass has been utilized to improve the reversibility of phase transformation. The incorporation of Al into Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu induces strain glass and endows the alloy with reversible phase transformation and thus ideal superelasticity. In situ x-ray diffraction and dynamic mechanical experiments were utilized to verify the mechanism for the conversion from transformation plasticity to superelasticity. This work provides a new way to improve the reversibility of phase transformation and expands the practical implications of strain glass.
