DyCu and YCu are representatives of the family of CsCl-type B2 rare earth intermetallic compounds that exhibit high room temperature ductility. Structure, orientation relationship, and morphology of the martensites in the equiatomic compounds DyCu and YCu are examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). TEM studies show that the martensite structures in DyCu and YCu alloys are virtually identical. The martensite is of orthorhombic CrB-type B33 structure with lattice parameters a = 0.38 nm, b = 1.22 nm, and c = 0.40 nm. (021¯) twins were observed in the B33 DyCu and YCu martensites. The orientation relationship of B33 and B2 phases is (111¯)[112]B33 || (110)[001]B2. The simulated electron diffraction patterns of the B33 phase are consistent with those of experimental observations. TEM investigations also reveal that a dominant orthorhombic FeB-type B27 martensite with lattice parameters a = 0.71 nm, b = 0.45 nm, and c = 0.54 nm exists in YCu alloy. (11¯ 1) twins were observed in the B27 YCu martensite. As a result, the formation mechanism of B2 to B33 and B2 to B27 phase transformation is discussed.

Neutron diffraction study of the martensitic transformation and chemical order in Heusler alloy Ni _1.91Mn _1.29Ga _0.8

Journal Article Ari-Gur, Pnina ; Garlea, Vasile O. ; Cao, Huibo ; ... November 2015 - Materials Today: Proceedings

In this study, Heusler alloys of Ni-Mn-Ga compositions demonstrate ferromagnetic shape memory effect in the martensitic state. The transformation temperature and the chemical order depend strongly on the composition. In the current work, the structure and chemical order of the martensitic phase of Ni _1.91Mn _1.29Ga _0.8 were studied using neutron diffraction; the diffraction pattern was refined using the FullProf software. It was determined that the structural transition occurs around 330 K. At room temperature, 300 K, which is below the martensite transformation temperature, all the Bragg reflections can be described by a monoclinic lattice with a symmetry of spacemore »« less

Lüders-like martensitic transformation in a Cu/carbon-steel nanocomposite: An in situ synchrotron study

Journal Article Ru, Yadong ; Yu, Kaiyuan ; Dai, Shuangqiang ; ... January 2018 - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

In this paper, a Cu/carbon-steel nanocomposite is fabricated by pressing, rolling and wire drawing. The average layer thickness is about 69 nm for steel and 67 nm for Cu. Cu suppresses the growth of prior austenite at elevated temperature, and thus the steel layer thickness barely increases during austenization. Subsequent quenching results in a large amount of metastable retained austenite within the steel layers. The martensitic transformation behavior of the composite during plastic deformation is investigated by in situ tensile test using synchrotron X-ray diffraction at room temperature. It is found that the retained austenite, rather than Cu, dominates themore »« less

Secondary phases in Al _xCoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys: An in-situ TEM heating study and thermodynamic appraisal

Journal Article Rao, J. C. ; Diao, H. Y. ; Ocelík, V. ; ... March 2017 - Acta Materialia

Secondary phases, either introduced by alloying or heat treatment, are commonly present in most high-entropy alloys (HEAs). Understanding the formation of secondary phases at high temperatures, and their effect on mechanical properties, is a critical issue that is undertaken in the present paper, using the Al _xCoCrFeNi (x = 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) as a model alloy. The in-situ transmission-electron-microscopy (TEM) heating observation, an atom-probe-tomography (APT) study for the reference starting materials (Al _0.3 and Al _0.5 alloys), and thermodynamic calculations for all three alloys, are performed to investigate (1) the aluminum effect on the secondary-phase fractions, (2) the annealing-twinningmore »« less

The f.c.c. to h.c.p. martensitic phase transformation in CoNi studied by TEM and AFM methods

Journal Article - in OSTI.gov collection Waitz, T. ; Karnthaler, H.P. February 1997 - Acta Materialia

The thermally induced martensitic phase transformation from the high temperature (f.c.c.) to the low temperature (h.c.p.) phase was studied in a Co-32% Ni single crystal by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and light microscopy with multiple beam interferometry (MBI), Quantitative analysis of the TEM results shows that the transformation takes place by consecutive glide of partial dislocations of the same Shockley partial Burgers vector on every other close packed plane. The tapering h.c.p. lamellae contain high shear strains and cause long range internal stresses that facilitate transformation induced plasticity. The AFM and MBI results show that themore »« less
