镍基单晶超合金Ni/Ni3Al晶界的分子动力学模拟

在镍基单晶超合金中,由于单晶Ni的晶格常数比单晶Ni3Al的稍小,在Ni/Ni3Al晶界面上必然要出现错配.采用分子动力学模拟了镍基单晶超合金的Ni/Ni3Al晶界的结构,考虑了两个不同的初始模型,并进行了分子动力学弛豫.弛豫的结果均表明:由于晶格的差异形成的错配能不是通过长程晶格错配的方式来释放,而是通过在局部区域形成位错的方式释放的.由于Ni3Al相周围Ni相环境的不同,形成的位错也有所不同.

Effect of H impurity on misfit dislocation in Ni-based single-crystal superalloy: molecular dynamic simulations

The effect of H impurity on the misfit dislocation in Ni-based single-crystal superalloy is investigated using the molecular dynamic simulation. It includes the site preferences of H impurity in single crystals Ni and Ni₃Al, the interaction between H impurity and the misfit dislocation and the effect of H impurity on the moving misfit dislocation. The calculated energies and simulation results show that the misfit dislocation attracts H impurity which is located at the γ/γ' interface and Ni₃Al and H impurity on the glide plane can obstruct the glide of misfit dislocation, which is beneficial to improving the mechanical properties of Ni based superalloys.     

Misfit dislocations in gold/Permalloy multilayers

Several groups have reported the misfit dislocation structures in Au/Ni_0.8Fe_0.2 multilayers where the lattice parameter misfit is very large. To explore the factors controlling such structures, molecular dynamics simulations have been used to simulate the vapour-phase growth of (111)-oriented Au/Ni_0.8Fe_0.2 multilayers. The simulations revealed the formation of misfit dislocations at both the gold-on-Ni_0.8Fe_0.2 and the Ni_0.8Fe_0.2-on-gold interfaces. The dislocation configuration and density were found to be in good agreement with previously reported high-resolution transmission electron microscopy observations. Additional atomic-scale simulations of a model nickel–gold system indicated that dislocations are nucleated as the first nickel layer is deposited on gold. These dislocations have an (a/6)?112? Burgers vector, typical of a Shockley partial dislocation. Each dislocation creates an extra {220} plane in the smaller lattice parameter nickel layer. These misfit-type dislocations effectively relieve misfit strain. The results also indicated that the dislocation structure is insensitive to the energy of the depositing atoms. Manipulation of the deposition processes is therefore unlikely to reduce this component of the defect population.     

First-principles calculations for the elastic properties of Ni-base model superalloys: Ni/Ni3Al multilayers

A model system consisting of Ni[001](100)/Ni3Al[001](100) multi-layers are studied using the density functional theory in order to explore the elastic properties of single crystal Ni-based superalloys. Simulation results are consistent with the experimental observation that rafted Ni-base superalloys virtually possess a cubic symmetry. The convergence of the elastic properties with respect to the thickness of the multilayers are tested by a series of multilayers from 2γ′+2γ to 10γ′+10γ atomic layers. The elastic properties are found to vary little with the increase of the multilayer’s thickness. A Ni/Ni3Al multilayer with 10γ′+10γ atomic layers (3.54 nm) can be used to simulate the mechanical properties of Ni-base model superalloys. Our calculated elastic constants, bulk modulus, orientation-dependent shear modulus and Young’s modulus, as well as the Zener anisotropy factor are all compatible with the measured results of Ni-base model superalloys R1 and the advanced commercial superalloys TMS-26, CMSX-4 at a low temperature. The mechanical properties as a function of the γ′ phase volume fraction are calculated by varying the proportion of the γ and γ′ phase in the multilayers. Besides, the mechanical properties of two-phase Ni/Ni3Al multilayer can be well predicted by the Voigt-Reuss-Hill rule of mixtures.     

Effect of impurity atoms on α2/γ lamellar interfacial misfit in Ti–Al alloy: a systematic first principles study

The effect of transition metal solutes on the lattice parameters of γ-TiAl and α₂-Ti₃Al were studied by first principles calculations to find suitable elements for controlling the α₂/γ interfacial misfit in lamellar Ti–Al alloys. Better agreement was found between the calculated and experimental phase and site preferences of impurity atoms than in a previous first principles study. The calculated lattice parameters suggest that elements in groups 6–11 of the 4th period (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu) are effective for increasing the misfit, leading to increasing density of misfit dislocation and, in turn, higher yield strength and ductility. This effect is caused by the change in the lattice parameter of the γ-TiAl phase rather than those of α₂-Ti₃Al phase. This prediction agrees qualitatively with experimental data from a previous study although the effects of temperature are not taken into account. Further improvements should be possible by considering those effects. Nevertheless, the results highlight the effects of impurity addition on interfacial misfit at a level which cannot be achieved by classical concepts such as atomic size in a hard sphere model. The results will also be valuable in further more quantitative predictions and in understanding the effects of temperature, including off-stoichiometry, thermal expansion and vibration entropy.     

A crystal plasticity finite element model for flow stress anomalies in Ni3Al single crystals

This paper presents a dislocation density-based non-Schmid constitutive model to address the anomalous thermo-mechanical behaviour of the L1₂ intermetallic single-crystal Ni₃Al. Ni₃Al is used as a strengthening precipitate (γ′ phase) in Ni-based superalloys. Addressing such anomalous behaviour by accounting for temperature-dependent flow stress and hardening evolution, as well as orientation-dependent tension–compression asymmetry, is necessary for modelling superalloys across a range of temperatures. While hardening in cube-slip systems results from statistically stored dislocations (SSDs), hardening in octahedral slip systems is due to both SSDs and cross-slip dislocations (CSDs). The constitutive model incorporates hardening evolution due to SSDs and CSDs. Experimental data for Ni₃Al-type single crystals, available in the literature, are used to calibrate material parameters. Subsequently, results of crystal plasticity FEM simulations are compared with experimental data for several orientations under constant strain rate and creep loading conditions for a wide range of temperatures. The model is able to correctly predict the response of L1₂ intermetallic single crystals including features of anomalous flow stress and non-Schmid yield behaviour.     

A study on the orientation inheritance in laminated NiAl produced by in situ reaction annealing

In order to promote the performance of B2 NiAl by texture control of orientation during in situ processing, phase transformation in laminated NiAl with bimodal grain size distribution manufactured by reaction annealing of Ni and Al foils has been studied. It turned out that there existed a Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship (K–S OR) between parent Ni and product NiAl by crystallography analysis according to the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) results. The parent Ni did not transform to the product NiAl directly but via the formation of Ni₃Al firstly according to the transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation of the interface. This led to a new K–S OR between Ni₃Al and NiAl with a small atomic misfit, which made less residual stress generated through the formation of Ni₃Al than directly from the parent Ni.     

Dislocation formation and twinning from the crack tip in Ni3Al: molecular dynamics simulations

The mechanism of low-temperature deformation in a fracture process of L12 Ni3Al is studied by molecular dynamic simulations.Owing to the unstable stacking energy,the [01ˉ1] superdislocation is dissociated into partial dislocations separated by a stacking fault.The simulation results show that when the crack speed is larger than a critical speed,the Shockley partial dislocations will break forth from both the crack tip and the vicinity of the crack tip;subsequently the super intrinsic stacking faults are formed in adjacent {111} planes,meanwhile the super extrinsic stacking faults and twinning also occur.Our simulation results suggest that at low temperatures the ductile fracture in L12 Ni3Al is accompanied by twinning,which is produced by super-intrinsic stacking faults formed in adjacent {111} planes.

Effect of alkali leaching on the surface structure of Ni3Al catalyst

The surface structure of the alkali-leached single-phase Ni₃Al powder was investigated by X-ray diffraction, BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) surface area analysis, electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature-programmed reduction. It was found that fine Ni particles of several nm in diameter were formed on the outer surface layer of the Ni₃Al powder after the alkali leaching process. The surface of the Ni particles was covered with a thin layer of Ni oxides and hydroxide, Ni₂O₃, NiO and Ni(OH)₂, and these Ni oxides and hydroxide can be easily reduced by hydrogen to the metallic nickel that is catalytically active. The inside of the Ni₃Al powder remained as the original Ni₃Al ordered structure after alkali leaching. Having heat resistant properties, the Ni₃Al phase can serve as a support of the fine Ni particles and provide the structural and thermal stabilities to the fine Ni particles.     

Characterization of lattice defects for L12–Ni3Al involving the ordering process via the microscopic phase field method

The quantitative and temporal-evolutional advantages of the microscopic phase field are used to study the lattice defects of the L1₂–Ni₃Al(γ′) phase in a ternary Ni–Al–V system. The temporal evolutional process of the occupancy of each individual atom conforms to classical nucleation processes, where the occupancy is constant at the incubation period, and then fluctuates up or down during segregation and equilibrium at the coarsening period. The α sublattice of the L1₂ structure is almost completely occupied by regular Ni_Ni with a small amount of antisite defect Al_Ni and the substitutional defect V_Ni at the equilibrium state. By sharp contrast, the β sublattice is predominantly occupied by regular Al_Al, as well as the non-negligible antisite defect Ni_Al and substitutional defect V_Al. Regular atoms have a negative correlation with temperature; hence, the defects are positive. By comparison, the β sublattice, which accommodates most of the defects in Ni₃Al, is more sensitive to temperature than the α sublattice. The results are generally in line with comparisons reported by other scientists.
