Tailoring Mechanical Properties of a Multi-Principle-Element Alloy by a Multi-Length-Scale Approach

A multiscale strengthening approach was employed to tailor the mechanical properties of a NiCoCr-based multi-principal element alloy (MPEA). Initially, the addition of Mo was utilized to strengthen the alloys by achieving grain size refinement, severe lattice distortion, and a reduction in stacking fault energy (SFE). Subsequently, the Suzuki segregation phenomenon was leveraged by carefully controlling stacking fault (SF) density via pre-straining and a subsequent 500°C heat treatment. Consequently, the Mo-added MPE alloys that were pre-strained and subsequently heat-treated exhibited a true yield stress of 2.3 GPa, with a corresponding fracture elongation of 12%. The Mo promotes complex SF interactions and the SFs formed during prior straining serve as sites for Suzuki segregation during subsequent heat treatment, varying the local SFE with Cr segregation, creating a roughened landscape and hindering dislocation dynamics. This multiscale strengthening approach presents a promising route for achieving desired mechanical properties in MPEAs.

Tailoring mechanical properties of a multi-principal element alloy through a multi-length-scale approach

In this study, a multi-length-scale strengthening approach was used to tailor the microstructure and the mechanical properties of a NiCoCr-based multi-principal element alloy (MPEA). Grain size refinement, severe lattice distortion, and stacking fault energy (SFE) reduction with Mo addition (up to 10 at.%) enhance yield strength by 85% with only 10% reduction in ductility in as-annealed MPEAs. A pronounced increase in the strain hardening rate was observed with the addition of Mo, which is ascribed to the promotion of complex stacking fault (SF) interaction and intersection, accompanied by Lomer-Cottrell (L-C) and Hirth locks inhibiting dislocation motion and substantial increase in the accumulation of back stress. To push the limit of the yield strength further, the Suzuki segregation phenomenon was manipulated by a careful control of SF density by pre-straining and a subsequent 500 °C heat treatment. The stress-strain responses of the pre-strained and heat treated MPEAs showed an obvious SF density and Mo concentration dependence. Furthermore, the yield strength of the pre-strained Mo-added MPEAs with subsequent heat treatment was increased up to true stress of 2.3 GPa with a corresponding fracture elongation of 12% true strain. SFs formed during pre-straining served as Cr segregation sites during subsequent heat treatment, which substantially varies the local SFE within the SF, presenting a roughened landscape and frustrating the dislocation dynamics.

Viscoplastic Characterization of Ti-6-4: Experiments

As part of a continued effort to improve the understanding of material time-dependent response, a series of mechanical tests have been conducted on the titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V. Tensile, creep, and stress relaxation tests were performed over a wide range of temperatures and strain rates to engage various amounts of time-dependent behavior. Additional tests were conducted that involved loading steps, overloads, dwell periods, and block loading segments to characterize the interaction between plasticity and time-dependent behavior. These data will be used to characterize a recently developed, viscoelastoplastic constitutive model with a goal toward better estimates of aerospace component behavior, resulting in improved safety.
