The underlying mechanism of deformation twinning occurring in a TiAl-(γ)/Ti(3)Al-(α(2)) nanolaminate creep deformed at elevated temperatures has been studied. Since the multiplication and propagation of lattice dislocations in both γ and α(2) thin lamellae are very limited, the total flow of lattice dislocations becomes insufficient to accommodate the accumulated creep strains. Consequently, the movement of interfacial dislocations along the laminate interfaces, i.e., interface sliding, becomes an alternative deformation mode of the nanolaminate structure. Pile-ups of interfacial dislocations occur when interfacial ledges and impinged lattice dislocations act as obstacles to impede the movement of interfacial dislocations. Deformation twinning can accordingly take place to relieve a stress concentration resulting from the pile-up of interfacial dislocations. An interface-controlled twinning mechanism driven by the pile-up and dissociation of interfacial dislocations is accordingly proposed.

A possibility of unprecedented architecture may be opened up by combining both vertical and in-plane heterostructures. It is fascinating to discover that the interlayer stress transfer, interlayer binding energy, and interlayer shear stress of bi-layer Gr/hBN with CNTs heterostructures greatly increase (more than 2 times) with increase the numbers of CNTs and both saturate at the numbers of CNTs = 3, but it causes only 10.92% decrease in failure strain.

Oxide superlattices reveal a rich array of emergent properties derived from the composition modulation and the resulting lattice distortion, charge transfer, and symmetry reduction that occur at the interfaces between the layers. The great majority of studies have focused on perovskite oxide superlattices, revealing, for example, the appearance of an interfacial 2D electron gas, magnetic moment, or improper ferroelectric polarization that is not present in the parent phases. Garnets possess greater structural complexity than perovskites: the cubic garnet unit cell contains 160 atoms with the cations distributed between three different coordination sites, and garnets exhibit a wide range of useful properties, including ferrimagnetism and ion transport.

Ceramic coatings containing two-dimensional materials (2D materials) provide effective protection for light alloys during wear, significantly improving their anti-friction performance. MoS has proven highly effective in enhancing the anti-friction performance of ceramic coatings, particularly when synthesized via plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO). However, dislocation pinning due to the incoherent interfaces in MoS/TiO coatings tends to cause localized stress concentrations and brittle fracture, requiring effectively improve nanomechanical properties by optimizing interface design.

Enhanced adhesion and wear resistance of DLC films on AZ31 alloy achieved with high bias voltage.

Heliyon

School of Intelligent Manufacturing Engineering, Harbin Huade University, Harbin, 150025, Heilongjiang, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were applied to AZ31 surfaces without an adhesive layer, showcasing high adhesion and excellent wear resistance.
  • Various structural analyses including SEM, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy were employed, and mechanical properties were assessed through nano-indentation and scratch tests.
  • High substrate bias (-500 to -800 V) resulted in greater compressive stress and film hardness, while moderate to low bias levels (-300 to 500 V and 0 to -300 V, respectively) exhibited diminishing mechanical properties as substrate temperature increased.

Surface nanoengineering can significantly improve the mechanical properties and performance of metals, such as strength, hardness, fatigue, wear resistance, . In this work, we tailored the surface microstructure of GCr15 bearing steel within a thickness of approximately 800 μm using room temperature ultrasonic shot peening (USP) technology. Microstructure characterization studies reveal the formation of gradient nanosized spheroidal carbides and lath-shaped nano-martensite in the GCr15 bearing steel during the USP process.
