Abstract

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.

The Role of Phase Stability in Ductile, Ordered B2 Intermetallics

Conference Morris, James R ; Ye, Y. Y. ; Krcmar, Maja ; ...

We discuss the underlying atomistic mechanism for experimentally observed large tensile ductility in various strongly ordered B2 intermetallic compounds. First-principles calculations demonstrate that all of the compounds exhibit little energy differences between the B2, B27 and B33 phases. These calculations relate observations of ductility in YAg, YCu and ZrCo to shape-memory materials including NiTi. One transformation pathway between the B2 and B33 phases establishes a connection between this phase competition, and stacking faults on the {l_brace}011{r_brace}B2 plane. The low energy of such a stacking fault will lead to splitting of the b=<100> dislocations into b/2 partials, observed in ZrCo, TiCo,more »« less

An investigation of the. gamma. -->. cap alpha. martensitic transformation in uranium alloys

Journal Article Speer, J G ; Edmonds, D V - Acta Metall.; (United States)

A detailed study of the ..gamma.. ..-->.. chi martensite transformation in uranium alloys is presented. Five binary uranium-base alloys containing 0.77 Ti, 1.2 Mo, 2.2 Mo, 4.3 Mo and 5.0 Mo, respectively, were examined. As quenched, the U-0.77 Ti and U-1.2 Mo alloys consisted of an orthorhombic ..cap alpha..'/sub a/ martensite phase with an acicular morphology. The acicular martensite plates contain deformation twins which result from transformation stresses. The U-2.2 Mo and U-4.3 Mo alloys transformed during quenching to orthorhomic chi'/sub b/ and monoclinic chi'/sub b/ martensite phases, respectively. The banded morphology observed in these two alloys consists of long,more »« less

Structure and substructure of martensite in a Ti{sub 36.5}Ni{sub 48.5}Hf{sub 15} high temperature shape memory alloy

Journal Article Han, X D ; Dalian Univ. of Technology ; Zou, W H ; ... - Acta Materialia

The martensite structure and substructure in a Ti{sub 36.5}Ni{sub 48.5}Hf{sub 15} high temperature shape memory alloy were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution electron microscopy (HREM). The high temperature phase of this shape memory alloy was determined as being CsCl (B2) type structure with a = 0.309 nm. The martensite structure is B19{prime} type monoclinic structure with a = 0.293 nm, b = 0.411 nm, c = 0.473 nm, {beta} = 100.4{degree} and the space group is P2{sub 1}/m.

Microstructural development inside the stress induced martensite variant in a Ti-Ni-Nb shape memory alloy

Journal Article Zheng, Y F ; Cai, W ; Zhang, J X ; ... - Acta Materialia

The microstructural development inside the stress induced martensite (SIM) variants in Ti-Ni-Nb alloy with various degrees of deformation have been revealed by electron microscopic observations. The orientation relationship between the SIM and the parent phase has been found: [1{bar 1}0]{sub M}{parallel}[11{bar 1}]{sub B2}, (001){sub M} 5{degree} away from (101){sub B2}. The lattice invariant shear of the SIM variants at the slightly deformed stage is dominantly (11{bar 1}) Type I twin. Besides the ordinary slip, the adjustment and development of the internal secondary twinning from (11{bar 1}) Type I twin to {l_angle}011{r_angle} Type II/ or (011) Type I twin, (001)compound twinmore »« less

Observations of a dynamical-to-kinematic diffraction transition in plastically deformed polycrystalline intermetallic YCu

Journal Article Williams, Scott H. ; Brown, Donald W. ; Clausen, Bjorn ; ... - Acta Materialia

Unlike most intermetallic compounds, polycrystalline YCu, a B2 (CsCl-type) intermetallic, is ductile at room temperature. The mechanisms for this behavior are not fully understood. In situ neutron diffraction was used to investigate whether a stress-induced phase transformation or twinning contribute to the ductility; however, neither mechanism was found to be active in YCu. Surprisingly, this study revealed that the intensities of the diffraction peaks increased after plastic deformation. It is thought that annealing the samples created nearly perfect crystallinity, and subsequent deformation reduced this high degree of lattice coherency, resulting in a modified mosaic structure that decreased or eliminated themore »« less
