Cu掺杂对TiNi合金马氏体相变路径影响的第一性原理研究

不同浓度的Cu元素掺杂会极大地影响TiNi二元合金的物理性质和相变行为.为了解释其中的物理机制,本文通过第一性原理计算,对TiNi和Ti_(50)Ni_(25)Cu_(25)的相变机制和相稳定性进行了计算和讨论.通过计算Cu掺杂前后立方相到正交相、再到单斜相过程中的相变路径和相变势垒,解释了Cu掺杂对二元合金TiNi相变过程的影响.计算结果表明:TiNi合金的正交相和单斜相之间存在一个大小为1.6meV的相变势垒;而对于Ti_(50)Ni_(25)Cu_(25),这两个相之间的相变势垒大小至少为10.3meV,如此大的一个相变势垒意味着Ti_(50)Ni_(25)Cu_(25)合金的正交相很难跨过势垒相变到单斜相.     

Lattice properties in the vicinity of the martensitic transformation in TiNi

A pronounced peak in the thermal expansion coefficient — and thus in the Grüneisen parameter — has been found at the temperature corresponding to the martensitic transformation in TiNi. This finding, together with results of ultrasound wave propagation studies, attests to anomalous lattice-dynamical behaviour in the vicinity of the phase transition. Ultrasonic wave attenuation and velocity data are interpreted on the basis of Akhieser-type, phonon viscosity damping. Results obtained are consistent with the hypothesis that a soft phonon mode plays a dominant role in the lattice properties of TiNi near the transition.     

Cyclic stress induced phase transformation in super-bainitic microstructure

The effects of cyclic stress loading on the microstructual evolution and tensile properties of a medium-carbon superbainitic steel were investigated. Experimental results show that the cyclic stress can induce the carbon gathering in austenite and phase transformation from film-like retained austenite to twin martensite, which will obviously enhance the tensile strength and the product of tensile strength and ductility. The higher the bainitic transformation temperature, the lower the transformation rate of the retained austenite. The amount and thickness of the film-like retained austenite play an important role during the cyclic stress induced phase transformation.

Atomistic study of temperature and strain rate-dependent phase transformation behaviour of NiTi shape memory alloy under uniaxial compression

Molecular dynamics simulation was conducted to investigate the phase transformation behaviour of nickel–titanium (NiTi, 50%-50% at.%) nanopillar under uniaxial compression at loading rates varying from 3.30 × 10⁷ to 3.30 × 10⁹ s^?1 and at temperatures varying from 325 to 600 K. The phase transformation of NiTi was observed to be sensitive to loading rates and temperatures. The phase transformation stress of B2 → B19 increased with increasing temperature while it was insensitive to loading rate. The phase transformation stress of B19 → B19′ → BCO increased with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. In addition, reverse phase transformation was observed during compression due to the interaction between the phase transformation of B19 → B19′ → BCO and the deformation twinning/dislocation slide-induced plasticity of the BCO phase, leading to different residual crystal structures after loading. Moreover, a diagram for the phase transformation behaviour of NiTi in the simulated ranges of strain rate and temperature was obtained, from which the contrary experimental observations on the phase transformation behaviour of NiTi from the studies of Nemat-Nasser et al. (Mech. Mater. 37 (2005) p.287) and Liao et al. (J. Appl. Phys. 112 (2012) p.033515) at various strain rates could be well explained.     

Martensitic transformation and physical properties of ‘steel–TiNi’ bimetal composite,produced by explosion welding

The aim of this work is an investigation of structure and martensitic transformation in bimetal composite ‘TiNi–stainless steel’ produced by explosion welding. The results have shown that the mixture of chemical elements is observed in very narrow intervals of 6 µm close to the joint – 2 µm from the TiNi side and 4 µm from the steel one. Micro-hardness distribution in the vicinity of the joint is non-monotonic in the interval of 60 µm. Connection of stainless steel and TiNi plates by explosion welding leads to a dramatic change of martensitic transformation kinetics. Temperatures and the temperature interval of phase transformation increase strongly and heat transformation decreases. Annealing at 500°C for 2 h of bimetal composite decreases the interval of micro-hardness variation and partially recovers kinetics of phase transitions.     

Characterization of phase transformation in shape memory alloys by atomic force microscope

An atomic force microscope operated at various temperatures is introduced to evaluate phase transformation temperature and to observe microstructure for a shape memory alloy at same time in this paper. A commercial hot-rolled TiNi shape memory alloy bar is ground, polished and etched. The specimen is then observed by atomic force microscopy at the temperature range of 20–100 C in nitrogen gas. The topographies of a TiNi specimen show twinning martensite with rough surface and smooth austenite at various temperatures. The shape memory effect of the TiNi alloy is analyzed based on the shifts of the topographies obtained at various temperatures, which are used to evaluate the phase transformation temperature between martensite and austenite. The phase transformation temperature is also confirmed in a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) experiment.

Alternate stresses and temperature variation as factors of influence of ultrasonic vibration on mechanical and functional properties of shape memory alloys

It is known that the main factors in a variation in the shape memory alloy properties under insonation are heating of the material and alternate stresses action. In the present work the experimental study of the mechanical behaviour and functional properties of shape memory alloy under the action of alternate stresses and varying temperature was carried out. The data obtained had demonstrated that an increase in temperature of the sample resulted in a decrease or increase in deformation stress depending on the structural state of the TiNi sample. It was shown that in the case of the alloy in the martensitic state, a decrease in stress was observed, and on the other hand, in the austenitic state an increase in stress took place. It was found that action of alternate stresses led to appearance of strain jumps on the strain–temperature curves during cooling and heating the sample through the temperature range of martensitic transformation under the constant stress. The value of the strain jumps depended on the amplitude of alternate stresses and the completeness of martensitic transformation. It was shown that the heat action of ultrasonic vibration to the mechanical behaviour of shape memory alloys was due to the non-monotonic dependence of yield stress on the temperature. The force action of ultrasonic vibration to the functional properties was caused by formation of additional oriented martensite.     

Effect of shear strain on the α-ε phase transition of iron: a new approach in the rotational diamond anvil cell

The effect of shear strain on the iron α-ε phase transformation has been studied using a rotational diamond anvil cell (RDAC). The initial transition is observed to take place at the reduced pressure of 10.8?GPa under pressure and shear operation. Complete phase transformation was observed at 15.4?GPa. The rotation of an anvil causes limited pressure elevation and makes the pressure distribution symmetric in the sample chamber before the phase transition. However, it causes a significant pressure increase at the centre of the sample and brings about a large pressure gradient during the phase transformation. The resistance to the phase interface motion is enhanced due to strain hardening during the pressure and shear operations on iron and this further increases the transition pressure. The work of macroscopic shear stress and the work of the pressure and shear stress at the defect tips account for the pressure reduction of the iron phase transition.

Molecular dynamics simulation of the structural evolution of misfit dislocation networks at γ/γ′ phase interfaces in Ni-based superalloys

The structural evolution of misfit dislocation networks at γ/γ′ phase interfaces in Ni-based single crystal superalloys under tensile loading and temperatures is simulated by molecular dynamics. From the simulation, we find that, with increasing load or temperature, the patterns of dislocation networks on the (100), (110) and (111) phase interfaces change from regular to irregular or disappear. Under the same load and temperature, the dislocation networks of the different phase interfaces show different degrees and patterns of damage. The density and stability of the dislocation networks decrease with increasing temperature. When the interfacial dislocation networks become more regular, the γ/γ′ interfaces become more stable. The simulated results are supported by related experimental findings. Moreover, based on MD simulations, the averaged stress–strain responses for different phase interfaces under loading are presented. The results indicate that the combined influences of temperature and load play an important role for the structure evolution of misfit dislocation networks at γ/γ′ phase interfaces of Ni-based superalloys.

Modelling of hysteresis loops taken during the stress- and temperature-induced martensitic transformations

In this article, it has been shown that the process of reconfiguration of the crystal defects system noticeably contributes to the width of the stress–strain and strain–temperature hysteresis loops taken during the stress- and temperature-induced martensitic transformations of the shape memory alloys. It has been demonstrated that the contribution of the defects system to the hysteresis width strongly depends on the alloy temperature and the transformation cycle duration. It has been shown that the hysteresis effect can be observed not only in the course of the first-order phase transition of martensitic type, but also in the course of the gradual deformation of crystal lattice. The obtained results are applicable to the ferroelastic phase transitions in the different crystalline solids.     

Transformation plasticity and shape memory effects in TiNi alloy after low-temperature treatment

The effect of low-temperature annealing on the structure, kinetics of martensitic transformations, and functional properties of an equiatomic TiNi shape memory alloy is studied. Low-temperature annealing of the TiNi alloy is shown to decrease the temperature of the end of the forward martensite transformation M _f and the temperature of the onset of the reverse transformation A _s , which increases the transformation temperature range. As a result, the shape memory effect is improved due to a decrease in the irreversible strain. These phenomena are assumed to be caused by the hardening of the TiNi alloy induced by low-temperature annealing.

Temperature evolution in deformed shape memory alloy

Temperature changes during tensile test and simple shear test of TiNi shape memory alloys loaded at various strain rates and at different temperatures have been presented.

Ultrafast dynamic compression technique to study the kinetics of phase transformations in bismuth

Preheated Bi (296-532 K) was ramp compressed with 15-35 ns rise times to a peak stress of approximately 11 GPa to explore structural phase-transformation kinetics under dynamic loading conditions. At high strain rates, epsilon[over ]>5 x 10;{6} s;{-1}, deviation from equilibrium phase boundaries suggests that compression time scales are comparable to the new phase incubation period. The dependence of DeltaP/kT on epsilon[over ] is consistent with a thermally activated transformation.

Metastable states,relaxation mechanisms,and fracture of liquids under severe loading conditions

The relaxation properties and fracture of glycerol, silicone oil, transformer oil, and water have been studied experimentally under shock wave loading. The power-law strain rate dependences of the stress amplitude and spall strength were found for the compression and rarefaction fronts, respectively. It was shown that temperature has a strong influence on the spall strength of glycerol near the phase transformation temperature. The power laws reflect a self-similar nature of the momentum transfer and fracture mechanisms of liquids that are conventionally observed in solids and governed by the mechanisms of defect-induced structural relaxation. The mechanisms of viscoelasticity are related to the metastable states that may give rise to a collective behavior of displacement field fluctuations (microshearing) in liquids and thus provide a viscoplastic response of liquids under high strain rate loading.
