There is renewed interest in refractory alloys that possess higher service temperatures than incumbent Ni-based superalloys (⪆1100 °C). Thermophysical property data for six Nb-alloys are gathered from the literature and reviewed, and new data are provided for two Hf-containing Nb-alloys; elastic modulus, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity are presented for C103, and new thermal conductivity data are provided for a higher strength alloy, WC-3009. Comparisons with Ni-superalloys and other refractory-metal based alloys provide context. Physics-based models are provided that describe the temperature dependencies of the Young’s modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion and density, and thermal conductivity; such that fair comparisons can be made across alloys for any given condition. The results suggest a need for improved understanding of the temperature dependence of the elastic modulus. A performance index is introduced for making informed materials selection decisions in the context of lightweight, panel-shaped applications subjected to sharp thermal transients or steep thermal gradients, and the significant strain rate sensitivity of Nb-alloys is highlighted. Ultimately, the relative value of current commercial alloy, C103, as well as the promise of specific Nb-W-Zr alloys are highlighted.

Ultrasonic welding, known for its severe plastic deformation, faces the challenge of balancing sufficient deformation at the welding interface with minimizing damage to the substrate. This study utilizes the anisotropic deformation mechanisms and mechanical properties of nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu). Specifically, Cu coatings featuring nanotwin layers aligned parallel to the ultrasonic vibration direction were employed as interlayers in ultrasonic welding of Cu-Cu joints. The effects of the nt-Cu interlayer on the welding quality and the deformation mechanisms under the various welding pressures are investigated. Experimental and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that at low welding pressures, the nt-Cu interlayer undergoes deformation and detwinning primarily through twin boundary migration. This mechanism effectively mitigates work hardening during the welding process, localizes deformation at the welding interface, and significantly enhances the strengths of the Cu-Cu joints. The maximum enhancement proportion occurs at a welding pressure of 8 psi, up to 26.75% compared to conventional coarse-grained copper. As the welding pressure increases, the strengthening effect gradually weakens. The deformation mechanism of nt-Cu transitions to dislocation transverse and threading. The interaction between dislocations and twin boundaries forms incoherent twin boundaries and 9R phases, resulting in work hardening of the interfacial regions and reduction of the strengthening effect.

The mechanical degradation mechanism of T91 ferrite/martensite steel at 500 °C and 316NG austenitic steel at both 500 °C and 600 °C in supercritical carbon dioxide were investigated in detail by slow strain rate tensile tests and first-principles calculations of the adsorption and dissociation of CO2. In high-temperature CO2 atmosphere, CO2 could spontaneously dissociate into CO and O, and the spontaneously and partially dissociated O atoms exhibited a strong interaction with Cr. As the temperature was increased to 600 °C, the partial dissociation of CO2 occurred more rapidly and the ultimate tensile strength and total elongation of 316NG steel decreased significantly as well. Furthermore, a composite failure mode with intergranular brittle fracture and ductile fracture was investigated.

Large strain hysteresis and remnant strain are one of the vital reasons for the absence of BiFeO3-BaTiO3-based ceramics in commercial actuator fields. Here, we elaborately propose a strategy, preparing 0–3 type composite ceramics, to reduce the hysteresis and remnant strain, and the target is successfully achieved by building restoring force and polarization field. Normal strain constant and electric field-induced strain in 0–3 composites have enhanced by 260% and 196% compared to those of non-composite ceramics, respectively. Also, hysteresis and remnant strain in 0–3 composites have decreased by 35.9% and 50.6% in contrast to those of non-composites. Superior electrostrain properties under the low electric field are attributed to the construction of polarization field, restoring force, and micro-capacitance, coinciding with phase field simulation, and the strategy will pave a useful way to optimize the hysteresis and remnant strain in BiFeO3-BaTiO3-based high-temperature ceramics.

Transition metal carbides are valued for high hardness, thermal and mechanical stability, but fall short in fracture toughness. Contrarily, their less hard transition metal nitride counterparts offer more favorable fracture characteristics. Here, we use magnetron-sputtering to synthesize nitrides and carbides—TiC/TaN, TiN/TaC—in a nanolaminate superlattice (SL) architecture and compare their properties (hardness, fracture toughness, thermal stability) with that of their layer materials, as well as of carbide SLs, TiC/TaC. Except for the monolithically grown TaN and TiC/TaN SLs with nominal bilayer periods above 14 nm, all other coatings are purely fcc-structured and feature close-to-stoichiometric compositions, revealed by EBS-ERDA and XRF measurements. In-situ X-ray diffraction investigations indicate that the monolithically grown coatings have poor thermal stability compared to the SLs, which remain stable up until well over 1000-°C. While the TiC/TaC superlattices retain the highest hardness of all three systems, with 44.1 ± 3.4 GPa at a bilayer period (Λ) of 2 nm, the TiN/TaC system exhibits significantly higher fracture toughness values with up to 4.75 ± 0.33 MPa√m for the Λ = 14 nm coating. The TiC/TaN system exhibits neither hardness nor fracture toughness enhancement, as explained by the formation of a secondary hexagonal Ta2N phase.

The sound absorption coefficient of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and carbon nanotube (CNT) composite nanofibre-coated micro-perforated plate (MPP) is investigated. The MPP material is steel and is laser-drilled. The nanofibres are fabricated by electrospinning and directly coated onto the steel MPP collector. This makes it possible to attach extremely thin coatings of nanofibres. The sound absorption coefficient was measured using the impedance tube method. The results show that MPP absorbers with nanofibre coatings significantly widen the absorption bandwidth and increase the absorption coefficient. Because of the synergy enhancement effect, the performance of the absorber is much exceed the expect of the transfer matrix method (TMM) model. A very thin coating of nanofibres enables a significant increase in MPP performance. The effects of the nanofibre coatings were analyzed by finite element method (FEM) simulations. The coating enhances the end effect of MPP and extends along the MPP surface. In addition, different nanofibre coating thickness and impedance also have different effects on the sound absorption performance. This study provides a new method to enhance the performance of MPP with negligible increase in thickness and costs.

Hybrid externally-bonded reinforcements are considered a viable technique for strengthening existing concrete structures. They combine high-performance impregnated textiles with matrices containing dispersed microfibres to foster the ductility and toughness of the composite system. In this paper, the mechanical performance of textile-reinforced strain-hardening cement-based composites (TR-SHCC) is investigated in detail. A novel high-performance inorganic binder based on limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) is reinforced with both polyethylene (PE) dispersed microfibres and carbon fibre (CF) textiles as continuous biaxial reinforcement. The CF yarns are impregnated by an automated process to improve the monolithic response under uniaxial tensile loading and to ensure high production consistency. Fully inorganic suspensions, i.e., geopolymer and cement-based, are being investigated, as they can provide superior thermal stability compared to traditional polymeric impregnating agents. Interphase adhesion is investigated by single-yarn pull-out tests, microscopy and µCT at various micro scales. On the one hand, the improved adhesion promoted by cement impregnation resulted in the finest and most diffuse crack pattern. Conversely, the strength of the overall composite is mainly governed by the tensile failure of the yarns, irrespective of the bond, and dispersed fibres consistently improve the post-cracking stage and the strength of the hybrid composites.

Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have been extensively utilized as bone grafting material due to their inherent osteoconductive properties, although they often lacked sufficient biological performance for effective bone healing at the defect site. Incorporating mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) into CPCs offers a solution by improving porosity, promoting degradation and increasing the available surface area. In the scope of this study, we integrated MBG into CPCs and assessed the impact of varying MBG particle sizes (<20 µm, <38 µm, <100 µm) on the setting characteristics, microstructure, mechanical strength, and preliminary cell response of CPCs. Investigations revealed that < 20 µm MBG particles significantly improved the setting characteristics and compressive strength of CPCs, while < 38 µm particles promoted degradation and ion release, facilitating apatite formation. MBG incorporation was found to promote microstructural homogeneity and facilitate apatite formation, with particle size directly affecting these outcomes. Biocompatibility assessments indicated no cytotoxic effects, supported by the favorable cellular responses (> 92 % viability compared to control group). These findings underscore the critical impact of MBG particle size on developing advanced CPCs for biomedical applications, guiding future design and optimization strategies.

Controlling microstructural evolution in metallic additive manufacturing (AM) is difficult, especially in producing refined as-built grains instead of coarse, directional grains. Traditional solutions involve adding inoculants to AM feedstocks, but titanium (Ti) alloys cannot employ this approach without producing detrimental secondary phases. Ti-Cu (Ti-copper) alloys offer a solution through constitutional supercooling and/or solid state thermal cycling under AM conditions. This work analyzes a compositionally graded directed energy deposition (DED) Ti-Cu build, single-melt laser tracks, and dilatometric heat treatments to evaluate if, when, and by what mechanism(s) microstructural refinement occurs. Refinement by inoculation of unmelted powder particles was also considered. Constitutional supercooling produced no net microstructural refinement as any equiaxed dendrites which form are remelted with new deposition. This finding agreed with solidification modeling of powder bed fusion-laser beam (PBF-LB) and DED builds. Solid state thermal cycling refined microstructures only during ex-situ dilatometric heat treatments, suggesting build parameter optimization is needed to achieve refinement in-situ. Accidental heterogeneous nucleation on unmelted Ti powder, originating from the different thermophysical properties of Ti and Cu, provided the most significant microstructural refinement. This work systematically assesses the microstructural refinement mechanisms of Ti-Cu in AM builds and offers insights into microstructural control in eutectoid alloys.
控制金属增材制造(AM)中的微观结构演变非常困难,尤其是在生产精细的坯料晶粒而不是粗糙的定向晶粒时。传统的解决方案是在增材制造原料中添加接种剂,但钛(Ti)合金采用这种方法不会产生有害的次生相。钛铜(Ti-Cu)合金通过在自动成型条件下进行受控过冷和/或固态热循环提供了一种解决方案。这项研究分析了成分分级的定向能沉积(DED)钛-铜构建、单熔体激光轨迹和稀释热处理,以评估是否、何时以及通过何种机制发生微结构细化。此外,还考虑了通过接种未熔化的粉末颗粒进行细化。由于形成的任何等轴枝晶都会随着新沉积物的重新熔化而重新熔化,因此制度过冷不会产生净微观结构细化。这一发现与粉末床熔融-激光束(PBF-LB)和 DED 构建的凝固模型一致。固态热循环仅在原位稀释热处理过程中细化微观结构,这表明需要优化构建参数以实现原位细化。由于钛和铜的热物理性质不同,未熔化钛粉末上的意外异质成核提供了最显著的微观结构细化。这项工作系统地评估了钛-铜在 AM 制备过程中的微观结构细化机制,为共晶合金的微观结构控制提供了见解。

Basal plane dislocations and stacking faults are critical defects influencing silicon carbide (SiC) based high power devices that are rapidly emerging to enable the future needs of electric vehicles, locomotives, renewables, and grid-scale applications. Microstructural properties of three novel interactions between basal plane dislocations and threading mixed dislocations (TMDs) are described. This leads to multiplication of Shockley stacking faults (SSFs) in SiC epitaxial layers. First is a mechanism of double interaction of two SSFs with TMDs that causes the SSFs to glide on multiple basal planes, and creation of locked partial dislocation dipoles (PDD) due to the attractive force between the opposite sign partial dislocations. Second type of interaction occurs between SSFs and a tilted TMD, that results in formation of another SSF. The third type of interaction causes further SSF multiplication by unlocking previously created PDDs. This occurs when the newly formed SSF intersects with the previously locked PDD, and unlocks it, leaving behind a freely gliding partial dislocation and formation of another SSF. Multiplication of SSFs can severely degrade reliability and performance of high power SiC devices by increasing reverse leakage current and on-state resistance, and could eventually lead to device failure.
