Title: Strengthening via deformation twinning in a nickel alloy

Abstract

In this study, nanograins and nanotwins are produced in specimens using one processing technique to allow direct comparison in their nanohardnesses. It is shown that the hardness of nanotwins can be close to the lower end of the hardness of nanograins. The resistance of nanotwins to dislocation movement is explained based on elastic interactions between the incident 60° dislocation and the product dislocations. The latter includes one Shockley partial at the twin boundary and one 60° dislocation in the twinned region. The analysis indicates that a resolved shear stress of at least 1.24 GPa is required for a 60° dislocation to pass across a twin boundary in the nickel alloy investigated. It is this high level of the required shear stress coupled with a limited number of dislocations that can be present between two adjacent twin boundaries that provides nanotwins with high resistance to dislocation movement. The model proposed is corroborated by the detailed analysis of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Experimental investigation of grain boundaries misorientations and nano twinning induced strengthening on addition of silicon carbide in pulse electrodeposited nickel tungsten composite coating

Journal Article Rahman, O.S. Asiq ; Wasekar, Nitin P. ; Sundararajan, G. ; ... - Materials Characterization

Nanoindentation was performed on silicon carbide (SiC) reinforced pulse electrodeposited nickel-tungsten (Ni-W) composite coating. Addition of 5 vol.% of SiC in Ni-W coating increased the hardness from 10.31 ± 0.65 GPa to 14.32 ± 0.63 GPa and elastic modulus from 119.74 ± 3.15 GPa to 139.26 ± 2.09 GPa. Increased hardness and elastic modulus directly translates to the improved strengthening in the coating. An experimental investigation of strengthening mechanism was carried out in Ni-W-5 vol.% SiC alloy. Two simultaneous phenomena viz. grain refinement and increased internal strain was observed, which increased the dislocation density from 5.51 × 10{sup 18} m{supmore »« less

Structural interpretation of the nucleation and growth of deformation twins in Zr and Ti--1: Application of the coincidence site lattice (CSL) theory to twinning problems in H.C.P. structures

Journal Article Song, S G ; Gray, III, G T - Acta Metallurgica et Materialia

A step-wise nucleation and growth mechanism based on the coincidence site lattice (CSL) theory is proposed for deformation twinning in h.c.p. structures. Lattice transformation during twinning is accomplished by a coordinated movement of a large number of atoms between two lattice match planes from the matrix to twin positions rather than a layer by layer movement through twinning dislocations as proposed for twinning dislocation theories. The sidewise propagation and thickening of a twin lamella proceeds in a step-wise manner with lattice match planes being the coherent boundaries between the matrix and twins. This model predicts that twinning in h.c.p. latticesmore »« less

Investigating the compressive strength and strain localization of nanotwinned nickel alloys

Journal Article Valentino, Gianna M. ; Xiang, Sisi ; Ma, Luoning ; ... - Acta Materialia

Sputter deposited nickel-molybdenum-tungsten (Ni-Mo-W) thin films possess a beneficial suite of properties that stem from the extremely fine growth twins that form during the deposition process. Previously these materi- als were only characterized in tension, however, in this study in situ micropillar compression and post-mortem microstructural analysis of nanotwinned Ni₈₄Mo₁₁W₅ micropillars were employed to measure the compressive response and elucidate the attendant deformation mechanisms. The pillars exhibit Hookean behavior to com- pressive strengths of 3-3.5 GPa and the onset of non-linear plastic flow was manifest by discrete strain bursts and highly localized shear bands. Plastic deformation was concentrated at themore »« less

Deformation twinning in nanocrystalline Al by molecular-dynamics simulation.

Journal Article Yamakov, V ; Wolf, D ; Phillpot, S R ; ... - Acta Materialia

We use a recently developed, massively parallel molecular-dynamics code for the simulation of polycrystal plasticity to elucidate the intricate interplay between dislocation and GB processes during room-temperature plastic deformation of model nanocrystalline-Al microstructures. Our simulations reveal that under relatively high stresses (of 2.5 GPa) and large plastic strains (of {approx}12%), extensive deformation twinning takes place, in addition to deformation by the conventional dislocation-slip mechanism. Both heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation of deformation twins is observed. The heterogeneous mechanism involves the successive emission of Shockley partials from the grain boundaries onto neighboring slip planes. By contrast, the homogeneous process takes place inmore »« less

Interfacial Dislocations and Deformation Twinning in Fully Lamellar TiAl

Conference Hsiung, L M ; Choi, B W ; Nieh, T G

Deformation twinning, which takes place abnormally within lamellar TiAl subjected to creep deformation at strain rates as low as 10{sup -7}, has been found to be intimately related to the motion, pileup and dissociation of interfacial (Shockley partial) dislocations. In this study, results of in-situ TEM observations are presented to verify the motion and pileup of interfacial dislocations. Since the interfacial (Shockley partial) dislocations are energetically unfavorable to undergo cross-slip or climb, under normal conditions they can only move conservatively along interfaces. Consequently, the pileup configuration once generated cannot be easily dissipated and thus remain in place even at elevatedmore »« less
