Title: Epitaxial nanotwinned metals and alloys: synthesis-twin structure–property relations

Abstract

Extensive studies have been performed to understand the structure–property relationship in nanotwinned (NT) metals, where the average twin thickness or twin spacing is less than 100 nm. NT metals may have high strength, ductility, good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance and have promising applications in microelectronics, structural materials and coatings for gas and oil industry. Most prior studies focus on the computational and experimental investigations of NT metals with low stacking fault energy (SFE) and often in polycrystalline forms. In this highlight, we review recent findings on epitaxial growth of NT metals and alloys with low and high SFEs deposited on single crystal substrates, and focus primarily on advancing our comprehension towards tailoring the microstructures and properties of NT metals via extrinsic factors, including the synthesis technique, parametric control and growth template, and intrinsic factors, such as SFE and thermodynamic, kinetic alloying effects. The review intends to illuminate how to synthesize and design epitaxial NT structures to achieve desirable properties.

Hierarchical nanotwins in single-crystal-like nickel with high strength and corrosion resistance produced via a hybrid technique

Journal Article Li, Qiang ; Xue, Sichuang ; Price, Patrick ; ... - Nanoscale

High-density growth nanotwins enable high-strength and good ductility in metallic materials. However, twinning propensity is greatly reduced in metals with high stacking fault energy. In this study, we adopted a hybrid technique coupled with template-directed heteroepitaxial growth method to fabricate single-crystal-like, nanotwinned (nt) Ni. The nt Ni primarily contains hierarchical twin structures that consist of coherent and incoherent twin boundary segments with few conventional grain boundaries. In situ compression studies show the nt Ni has a high flow strength of ~2 GPa and good deformability. Moreover, the nt Ni has superb corrosion behavior due to the unique twin structure inmore »« less

Deformation mechanisms of nanotwinned Al

Technical Report Zhang, Xinghang

The objective of this project is to investigate the role of different types of layer interfaces on the formation of high density stacking fault (SF) in Al in Al/fcc multilayers, and understand the corresponding deformation mechanisms of the films. Stacking faults or twins can be intentionally introduced (via growth) into certain fcc metals with low stacking fault energy (such as Cu, Ag and 330 stainless steels) to achieve high strength, high ductility, superior thermal stability and good electrical conductivity. However it is still a major challenge to synthesize these types of defects into metals with high stacking fault energy, suchmore »« less

High‐Strength Nanotwinned Al Alloys with 9R Phase

Journal Article Li, Qiang ; Xue, Sichuang ; Wang, Jian ; ... - Advanced Materials

Abstract Light‐weight aluminum (Al) alloys have widespread applications. However, most Al alloys have inherently low mechanical strength. Nanotwins can induce high strength and ductility in metallic materials. Yet, introducing high‐density growth twins into Al remains difficult due to its ultrahigh stacking‐fault energy. In this study, it is shown that incorporating merely several atomic percent of Fe solutes into Al enables the formation of nanotwinned (nt) columnar grains with high‐density 9R phase in Al(Fe) solid solutions. The nt Al–Fe alloy coatings reach a maximum hardness of ≈5.5 GPa, one of the strongest binary Al alloys ever created. In situ uniaxial compressionsmore »« less

In Situ Nanoindentation Studies on Detwinning and Work Hardening in Nanotwinned Monolithic Metals

Journal Article Liu, Y. ; Li, N. ; Bufford, D. ; ... - Journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society

Certain nanotwinned (nt) metals have rare combinations of high mechanical strength and ductility. Here, we review recent in situ nanoindentation studies (using transmission electron microscopes) on the deformation mechanisms of nt face-centered cubic metals including Cu, Ni, and Al with a wide range of stacking fault energy (SFE). Moreover, in nt Cu with low-to-intermediate SFE, detwinning (accompanied by rapid twin boundary migration) occurs at ultralow stress. In Ni with relatively high SFE, coherent {111} twin boundaries lead to substantial work hardening. Twinned Al has abundant {112} incoherent twin boundaries, which induce significant work-hardening capability and plasticity in Al. Finally, twinmore »« less

Exploring the deformation behavior of nanotwinned Al–Zr alloy via in situ compression

Journal Article Richter, N. A. ; Gong, M. ; Zhang, Y. F. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Nanotwinned metals have demonstrated the capacity for concomitant high strength and ductility. However, metals with high stacking fault energies, such as aluminum (Al), have a low propensity for twin formation. Here, we show the fabrication of supersaturated solid-solution Al–Zr alloys with a high density of growth twins. Incoherent twin boundaries (ITBs) are strong barriers to dislocation motion, while mobile partial dislocations promote plasticity. These deformable nanotwinned Al–Zr alloys reach a flow stress of ∼1 GPa, as demonstrated using in situ micropillar compression tests. Density functional theory calculations uncover the role Zr solute plays in the formation and deformation of the nanotwinnedmore »« less
