Title: Deformation mechanisms in single crystal Ni-based concentrated solid solution alloys by nanoindentation

Abstract

Nanoindentation is a critical technique to probe mechanical properties at the micrometer and sub-micrometer scales, accompanied by challenges from indentation size effect, pile-up/sink-in effect, and strain rate sensitivity. In this work, different nanoindentation techniques have been employed to explore Ni-based concentrated solid solution alloys (CSAs) with the addition of 3d transition metal elements including Co, Cr, Mn, and Fe, including unique single-crystal Ni, NiCo, NiFe, Ni₈₀Cr₂₀, and NiCoFeCr samples with (100) surfaces. A procedure of nanoindentation tests and data analysis/correction have been developed, and a data set of hardness, elastic modulus, strain rate sensitivity, and activation volume for Ni-based CSAs are provided, including the less explored binary alloys such as Ni₈₀Cr₂₀ and Ni₈₀Mn₂₀. The results show that the type of alloying elements is more critical than the number of elements in strengthening: Co does not provide strengthening in NiCo, while Cr, Mn, and Fe are effective strengthening elements. Cr is the most effective among all the 3d transition metal elements. Furthermore, atomic-level lattice distortion is responsible for the strengthening and the role of stacking fault energy is insignificant in Ni-based CSAs at room temperature. In summary, nanoindentation shows increasing promise as a reliable and fast tool to provide comprehensive mechanicalmore »« less

Chemical Complexity Controls Energy Dissipation and Defect Evolution

Journal Article Zhang, Y. ; Stocks, G. M. ; Bei, H. ; ... - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

The development of metallic alloys is arguably one of the oldest sciences, dating back at least 3,000 years. Most research and applications have been focused on alloys with comprised multiple phases with one or two dominant elements, to which the addition of alloying elements in low concentrations leads to various performance improvements and changes in radiation resistance. In sharp contrast to traditional alloys, recent success in the synthesis of single phase concentrated solid solution alloys (SP-CSAs) has opened up new frontiers in materials research. In these alloys, a random arrangement of multiple elemental species on a lattice (fcc or bcc)more »« less
Intrinsic properties and strengthening mechanism of monocrystalline Ni-containing ternary concentrated solid solutions

Journal Article Jin, K. ; Gao, Y. F. ; Bei, H. - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Ternary single-phase concentrated solid solution alloys (SP-CSAs), so-called "medium entropy alloys", not only possess notable mechanical and physical properties but also form a model system linking the relatively simple binary alloys to the complex high entropy alloys. Our knowledge of their intrinsic properties is vital to understand the material behavior and to prompt future applications. To this end, three model alloys NiCoFe, NiCoCr, and NiFe-20Cr have been selected and grown as single crystals. We measured their elastic constants using an ultrasonic method, and several key materials properties, such as shear modulus, bulk modulus, elastic anisotropy, and Debye temperatures have beenmore »« less

Radiation-induced segregation on defect clusters in single-phase concentrated solid-solution alloys

Journal Article Lu, Chenyang ; Yang, Taini ; Jin, Ke ; ... - Acta Materialia

A group of single-phase concentrated solid-solution alloys (SP-CSAs), including NiFe, NiCoFe, NiCoFeCr, as well as a high entropy alloy NiCoFeCrMn, was irradiated with 3 MeV Ni²⁺ ions at 773 K to a fluence of 5 10¹⁶ ions/cm² for the study of radiation response with increasing compositional complexity. Advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) was used to characterize the dislocation loop distribution and radiation-induced segregation (RIS) on defect clusters in the SP-CSAs. The results show that a higher fraction of faulted loops exists in the more compositionally complex alloys, which indicate that increasing compositional complexity canmore »« less

Alloying effects on low-energy recoil events in concentrated solid-solution alloys

Journal Article Zhao, Shijun ; Liu, Bin ; Samolyuk, German D. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Alloying elements at low-concentrations into pure metals is usually adopted to improve their mechanical properties and irradiation performance. Recently developed single-phase concentrated solid-solution alloys (CSAs) comprised of two or more elements, all at high concentrations, have demonstrated good radiation resistance. CSAs are characterized by their extreme disordered states that arise from the random arrangement of different elements and accompanied random local lattice distortions. In this work, we investigate low-energy recoil events in Ni_0.5X_0.5 (X = Fe and Co) CSAs and Ni_0.8X_0.2 (X = Fe, Co, Cr, and Pd) CSAs using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to understand the effects ofmore »« less

Irradiation-induced damage evolution in concentrated Ni-based alloys

Journal Article Velisa, Gihan ; Ullah, Mohammad Wali ; Xue, Haizhou ; ... - Acta Materialia

Understanding the effects of chemical complexity from the number, type and concentration of alloying elements in single-phase concentred solid-solution alloys (SP-CSAs) on defect dynamics and microstructure evolution is pivotal for developing next-generation radiation-tolerant structural alloys. A specially chosen set of SP-CSAs with different chemical complexity (Ni₈₀Fe₂₀, Ni₈₀Cr₂₀ and Ni₄₀Fe₄₀Cr₂₀) are investigated using 1.5 MeV Mn ions over a wide fluence range, from 2 × 10¹³ to 1 × 10¹⁶ ions cm^–2 at room temperature. Based on an integrated study of Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy in channeling geometry and molecular dynamics simulations, the results demonstrate that Ni₄₀Fe₄₀Cr₂₀ is more radiation tolerant thanmore »« less
