Here we report the observation of high density of shear bands that are homogeneously dispersed in the NS layer of a gradient Ni sample. These shear bands were nucleated at early elastic/plastic strain stage, reached number saturation at ∼3% strain, and remained arrested by the central coarse-grained (CG) matrix during the entire plastic deformation, resulting in a uniform tensile plasticity comparable to that of CG matrix. The formation of dispersed shear bands was promoted by the elastic/plastic interaction between NS surface layer and CG matrix, and affected by the surface roughness and the hardness variation in the NS surface layer. The width of shear bands remained constant, but the intensity of strain accumulation increased almost linearly with applied tensile strain, suggesting a stable shear banding process. Microstructure examination revealed that the strain in shear bands was accommodated by mechanically driven grain boundary migration and grain coarsening. These results clarify the fundamental questions: why/how does the NS layer supported by CG matrix achieve large uniform elongation? Moreover, the findings demonstrate the possibility of activating dispersed stable shear bands by synthesizing gradient architecture for optimized mechanical performances, i.e., a new strategy for evading the strength-ductility tradeoff in NS metals.}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLASTICITY}, author={Wang, Yanfei and Huang, Chongxiang and Li, Yusheng and Guo, Fengjiao and He, Qiong and Wang, Mingsai and Wu, Xiaolei and Scattergood, Ronald O. and Zhu, Yuntian}, year={2020}, month={Jan}, pages={186–198} }

By combining the measurements of height contour and strain distribution using digital image correlation, the development of strain gradient was detected in the near-interface zone during tension, which was caused by the mechanical incompatibilities across interfaces and the synergetic constraint between layers. The intensity of strain gradient in the near-interface zone increased with tensile strain, which was accommodated by the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations, thereby resulting in extra back stress and dislocation strengthening.}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLASTICITY}, author={Wang, Y.

Fe10Cr and Fe14Cr4Hf nanocrystalline alloy powders were processed using these elemental powders in conjunction with SPEX ball milling. The grain-size stability of the nanocrystalline alloy powders was investigated for selected annealing temperatures. High temperature stabilization can be achieved by Zener pinning (kinetic mechanism) or segregation of Hf to grain boundaries (thermodynamic mechanism). Solute drag mechanisms can be effective at lower annealing temperatures. Recent regular solution models developed by the authors predict that Hf would facilitate thermodynamic grain-size stabilization in Fe14Cr4Hf alloys at high temperatures. However Hf-base reactions such as intermetallic phase or oxide formation can favor kinetic stabilization and this can dominate over a contribution from thermodynamic stabilization. In contrast, grain-size stabilization in Fe10Cr alloy would be a result of solute drag by the Cr solutes at lower temperatures. The results from previous investigations on Fe10Cr and Fe14Cr4Hf nanocrystalline alloys were (unknowingly at the time) influenced by the fact that the commercially available high purity elemental powders used for SPEX ball mill processing contained significant amounts of oxygen impurity.

Microhardness value of the as-milled samples was quite high (3.0–4.75 GPa) compared to that of pure Cu. The hardness value increased with increasing annealing temperatures up to 400 °C for the alloys containing 3–7.5% Y, and thereafter it showed a decreasing trend. The increase in the hardness after annealing is attributed to the formation of uniformly distributed ultrafine intermetallic phases in the nanocrystalline grains. The stabilization effect is achieved due to segregation of Y to reduce the grain boundary energy to zero and hindrance of dislocation movement due to precipitation of intermetallic phases. The tensile yield strength (σy) of the HPT consolidated nc Cu–1% Y and Cu–3% Y alloys was found to be at least one order of magnitude higher than that of the course grained-Cu counterpart, and the corresponding UTS (σu) value was more than four times higher. The strengthening effect is discussed in the light of the grain size refinement, solid solution strengthening and strain hardening.}, journal={Journal of Alloys and Compounds}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Mula, Suhrit and Setman, Daria and Youssef, Khaled and Scattergood, R.O. and Koch, Carl C}, year={2015}, month={Apr}, pages={108–116} }

It is applicable to alloy systems containing strongly segregating size-misfit solutes with a significant enthalpy of elastic strain and/or immiscible solutes with a positive mixing enthalpy. On the basis of a regular solution model, the chemical and elastic strain energy contributions are incorporated into the mixing enthalpy ΔHmix, and the mixing entropy ΔSmix is obtained using the ideal solution approximation. The Gibbs mixing free energy ΔGmix is minimized with respect to simultaneous variations in grain size and solute segregation parameters. The Lagrange multiplier method is used to obtain numerical solutions for the minimum ΔGmix corresponding to an equilibrium grain size for given alloy compositions. The numerical solutions will serve as a guideline for choosing solutes and assessing the possibility of thermodynamic stabilization. The temperature dependence of the nanocrystalline grain size and interfacial solute excess can be evaluated for selected ternary systems. Model predictions are presented using available input data for a wide range of solvent-solute combinations. The model predictions are compared to experimental results for Cu-Zn-Zr, Fe-Cr-Zr, and Fe-Ni-Zr alloys where thermodynamic stabilization might be effective.}, number={10}, journal={JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS}, author={Saber, Mostafa and Kotan, Hasan and Koch, Carl C. and Scattergood, Ronald O.}, year={2013}, month={Sep} }

A Vickers indenter was used to induce flaws with controlled size and geometry. Depositions were performed via radio frequency magnetron sputtering (5mT, 25°C, 30:1 Ar/O2 gas ratio) with varying powers of substrate bias. Film and flaw properties were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Flexural strength was determined by three-point bending. Fracture toughness values were calculated from flaw size and fracture strength.Data show improvements in fracture strength of up to 57% over unmodified specimens. XRD analysis shows that films deposited with higher substrate bias displayed a high %monoclinic volume fraction (19%) compared to non-biased deposited films (87%), and resulted in increased film stresses and modified YSZ microstructures. SEM analysis shows critical flaw sizes of 67±1μm leading to fracture toughness improvements of 55% over unmodified specimens.Data support surface modification of dental ceramics with YSZ thin film coatings to improve fracture toughness. Increase in construct strength was attributed to increase in compressive film stresses and modified YSZ thin film microstructures. It is believed that this surface modification may lead to significant improvements and overall reliability of all-ceramic dental restorations.}, number={8}, journal={DENTAL MATERIALS}, author={Chan, Ryan N. and Stoner, Brian R. and Thompson, Jeffrey Y. and Scattergood, Ronald O. and Piascik, Jeffrey R.}, year={2013}, month={Aug}, pages={881–887} }

The addition of Y results in significantly reduced susceptibility to grain growth whereas in case of CuAl and CuAlZr alloys, the susceptibility to grain growth was much higher. The hardness is substantially increased due to Zr and Y addition in the as-milled CuAl powders.

As evidenced through hardness measurement, the W provided a significant increase in strength over pure Cu, and the 10 at% W material maintained a 2.6 GPa hardness after annealing at 800 °C. The stabilization and strengthening mechanisms are compared against theoretical prediction and found to be in good agreement. Although the strength and stability are significantly improved over pure Cu, the maximum benefit was hindered by an extremely broad W particle size distribution (∼5–5000 nm).

Intermetallic particles also contribute to strengthening in addition to the Hall–Petch effect.

In addition to controlling the dislocation substructure in coarse grained materials, stacking fault energy (SFE) also affects the propensity to form deformation twins. However, the influence of SFE has not been fully explored in nanocrystalline materials. Here the role of SFE in deformation twinning and work hardening was systematically studied in bulk artifact-free, nanocrystalline (nc) Cu (SFE 55 mJ m−2), and a nc Cu–12.1 at.% Al–4.1 at.% Zn alloy (SFE 7 mJ m−2). The nc Cu (23 nm) and nc Cu alloy (22 nm) were synthesized using in situ consolidation during cryo and room temperature milling. Both materials showed ultra-high tensile strength, significant strain hardening, and good ductility. The nc Cu alloy exhibits a higher yield strength and lower uniform elongation (1067 ± 20 MPa, 6.5%) than that of nc Cu (790 ± 12 MPa, 14%). The SFE variation played a significant role in strengthening the nc Cu alloy. High resolution transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed that the low SFE of the nc Cu alloy alters the deformation mechanism from a dislocation-controlled deformation, which allows for the higher strain hardening observed in the nc Cu, to a twin-controlled deformation.}, number={14}, journal={ACTA MATERIALIA}, author={Youssef, Khaled and Sakaliyska, Miroslava and Bahmanpour, Hamed and Scattergood, Ronald and Koch, Carl}, year={2011}, month={Aug}, pages={5758–5764} }

The current understanding is summarized in several recent reviews. Researchers have been investigating the deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline metals and alloys through experimental and modeling routes. Modeling results indicate that there is a transition from dislocation generation at sources within grains to grain-boundary mediated dislocation generation in the grain size range between about 100 to 10 nm. Below 10 nm, grain boundary deformation modes (sliding, rotation, etc.) become dominant and inverse Hall-Petch effects have been reported. Experimental evidence to confirm these predictions is an active area of research. Two important experimental parameters that are useful in characterizing the deformation kinetics of materials are the strain rate sensitivity m and the activation volume V*. 11, 12] These are related by m = kT/V*r where k is Boltzmann’s constant, T is temperature (K) and r is the stress. There is a limited amount of data available on m and V* measurements for nanocrystalline metals. 5, 11–14] One aspect of this is the fact that research-scale synthesizing techniques often produce small quantities of material and mechanical testing procedures suited to small sample sizes are required. 5, 7, 13–18] In addition to this fact there is a tremendous scarcity of testing methodologies for testing the materials at small scales such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) where micro tensile and nanoindentation tests are used for understanding the deformation behaviour. 20] The aim of the present work was to extend the shear punch test (SPT) technique to the measurement of activation volumes on small scale specimens of few millimeters (∼ 1 mm to 3 mm). The advantage of SPT over nanoindentation and micro tensile tests is the deformation zone where a large number of grains undergo deformation within the shear zone and overcomes the problem of strain gradient plasticity effects, gain size effects as well as the specimen size effects. The SPT has been used for evaluating the yield and ultimate stress by numerous researchers, including us. The SPT shear yield or ultimate strength value s can be correlated with its tensile test counterpart r using the relation r = as. The correlation factor a depends upon the testing setup and data analysis methods. The Von Mises (VM) yield criterion predicts a = 3 if the SPT approximates pure shear loading conditions. This was the case in where the details and standardization of the SPT technique used in the present research work are given. The stress relaxation method has been used to determine activation volumes and dislocation dynamics in coarse-grain metals and alloys and in nanocrystalline Ni. The tests are normally done using uniaxial loading conditions. In the present study, we use the stress relaxation method in conjunction with the SPT technique. As far as we are aware, this is the first time that the full implementation of this method has been reported.}, number={10}, journal={Advanced Engineering Materials}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Guduru, R. K. and Wong, P. Z. and Darling, K. A. and Koch, C. C. and Murty, K. L. and Scattergood, R. O.}, year={2007}, month={Oct}, pages={855–859} }

This study clearly demonstrates that the consolidation of the Cu–2.5 vol.% Al 2 O 3 powder by high energy ball milling is accomplished initially by coalescence of powder particles through cold welding which leads to formation of lumps, then by cold welding and re-shaping of the lumps into small balls, and finally by cold welding of small balls into larger balls. The maximum diameter of the large balls is comparable with the diameter of the milling balls used as a milling medium. The two types of defects in the consolidated lumps and balls in the large balls, concentrated voids and crack-like voids, show that the material undergoes a large amount of plastic flow during the process of consolidation. The consolidation of the Cu–2.5 vol.% Al 2 O 3 powder can also been achieved by a combination of cryomilling and room temperature milling, but the consolidation process is slower due to increased hardness of the powder particles.

Machining results are compared with those of aluminum 6061-T6 and AISI 304 stainless steel under the same cutting conditions. This study demonstrates that the high cutting speeds and tools with low thermal conductivity and rake angle activate the light emission and chip oxidation in BMG machining. For the BMG chip without light emission, serrated chip formation with adiabatic shear band and void formation is observed. The cutting force analysis further correlates the chip oxidation and specific cutting energy and shows the significant reduction of cutting forces for machining BMG at high cutting speeds. The machined surface of BMG has better surface roughness than that of the other two work materials. Some tool wear features, including the welding of chip to the tool tip and chipping of the polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tool edge, are reported for turning of BMG.

Slow feed rate and high spindle speed increase the specific cutting energy and promote the exothermic oxidation and light emission of the chip. Six types of chip morphology, powder, short ribbon, long ribbon, long spiral, long ribbon tangled, and fan, are observed in BMG drilling. The long ribbon tangled chip morphology is unique for BMG material. On the machined surface under quick stop condition, the fracture topography unique to metallic glass with tributary, void, and vein patterns is observed. Different burr formations are observed: the roll-over shape in the entry and the crown shape in the exit edge. The size of burr in the exit edge is typically larger than that in the entrance edge. High feed rate helps to reduce the size of burr in both entrance and exit edges.

Wheel wear results demonstrated that this type of SiC wheel could grind fully and partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) very effectively.

As expected, due to the stress- and temperature-induced phase transformation during grinding, the percentage of monoclinic phase on the ground surface was increased relative to the base material. However, X-ray diffraction showed no monoclinic phase in the PSZ debris. This suggests that, during grinding, the low thermal conductivity of zirconia and SiC, compared to that of diamond, facilitates heat retention in the chip and softens the work-material.

For loads up to 1 N, the groove damage was confined to the 5 μm thick coating and the fracture response is similar to that occurring in a monolithic brittle solid. At higher loads, extensive lateral crack chipping occurred along the microcutting grooves accompanied by coating decohesion at the root of the chip.}, number={1-3}, journal={Surface & Coatings Technology}, author={Tanikella, B.
