Tracking the sliding of grain boundaries at the atomic scale

Lihua Wang et al.

Summary: Grain boundaries (GBs) are crucial for the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials, yet the atomic-scale dynamic processes of GB deformation remain unclear. This study presents an in situ atomic-resolution investigation on how sliding-dominant deformation occurs at general tilt GBs in platinum bicrystals, involving direct atomic-scale sliding and sliding with atom transfer across the boundary plane.

Nanoprecipitate-Strengthened High-Entropy Alloys

Liyuan Liu et al.

Summary: HEAs can be tuned to a simple phase with unique alloy characteristics, such as high strength and hardness with low ductility in BCC or HCP structures, and a combination of considerable ductility, excellent corrosion and radiation resistance in FCC structures. Precipitation strengthening is an effective method to enhance the strength of HEAs by forming fine and stable nanoscale precipitates. This paper reviews the recent progress in nanoprecipitate-strengthened HEAs and highlights alloy-design strategies and control of nanoscale precipitates.

Gradient cell-structured high-entropy alloy with exceptional strength and ductility

Qingsong Pan et al.

Summary: By introducing gradient nanoscaled dislocation cell structures in stable single-phase HEAs, enhanced strength can be achieved without apparent loss of ductility. The gradient structure induces the formation of high-density tiny stacking faults and twins, contributing to improved plasticity, increased strength, and work hardening.

Enhancing fatigue life by ductile-transformable multicomponent B2 precipitates in a high-entropy alloy

Rui Feng et al.

Summary: In this study, a high entropy alloy with enhanced fatigue life was reported due to ductile-transformable multicomponent B2 precipitates, featuring multiple cyclic-deformation mechanisms. The improved fatigue performance at low strain amplitudes can be attributed to the alloy's high elasticity, plastic deformability, and martensitic transformation capabilities.
