Mechanical alloying (MA) of powders represents the first processing step in the production of oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) alloys. MA is a time and energy-consuming process also in the production of Fe-10Al-4Cr-4YO creep and oxidation-resistant ODS nanocomposite, denoted as the FeAlOY, and it deserves to be optimized. MA is performed at two different temperatures at different times. The powder after MA, as well as the microstructure and high-temperature strength of the final FeAlOY, are characterized and the optimal MA conditions are evaluated. The obtained results show that the size distribution of the powder particles, as well as the dissolution and homogenization of the YO, becomes saturated quite soon, while the homogenization of the metallic components, such as Al and Cr, takes significantly more time. The high-temperature tensile tests and grain microstructures of the secondary recrystallized FeAlOY, however, indicate that the homogenization of the metallic components during MA does not influence the quality of the FeAlOY, as the matrix of the FeAlOY is sufficiently homogenized during recrystallization. Thus, the conditions of MA correspond to sufficient dissolution and homogenization of YO and can be considered the optimal ones.

Boron nitride (BN), renowned for its exceptional optoelectrical properties, mechanical robustness, and thermal stability, has emerged as a promising two-dimensional (2D) material. Reinforcing AZ80 magnesium alloy with BN can significantly enhance its mechanical properties. To investigate and predict this enhancement during hot deformation, we introduce two independent modeling approaches a modified Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

In contrast to the traditional perspective that thermal fluctuations are insignificant in surface dynamics, here we report their influence on surface reaction dynamics. Using real-time low-energy electron microscopy imaging of NiAl(100) under both vacuum and O atmospheres, we demonstrate that transient temperature variations substantially alter the direction of atom diffusion between the surface and bulk, leading to markedly different oxidation outcomes. During heating, substantial outward diffusion of atoms from the bulk to the surface results in step growth.

Vacancies are crucial for the radiation resistance, strength, and ductility of high-entropy alloys (HEAs). However, complex electronic interactions resulting from chemical disorder prohibit the quantification of vacancy formation energy () and migration barriers (). Herein, we propose an electronic descriptor χ (electronegativity χ and valence-electron number ) to quantify the bonding strength of constituents on the basis of the tight-binding model, which allows us to build analytical models to achieve the site-to-site quantification of and .

Based on the Johnson-Cook constitutive model and modified Coulomb's law, the study investigates the impact of various process parameters on the weld temperature field in high-strength 5052 aluminum alloy friction stir welding (FSW) for aerospace applications. Utilizing a thermo-mechanical model, the significance of rotational speed, welding speed, and indentation on the peak weld temperature is examined through Taguchi's orthogonal experimental design. S/N ratio and ANOVA results show that the rotational speed has the most significant effect on the peak temperature of the weld, followed by the amount of indentation, and the welding speed has the smallest effect, the optimal combination of welding process parameters is determined as follows:the rotational speed is 1000 rpm, the amount of indentation is 0.
