Heterostructured materials

Yuntian Zhu et al.

Summary: Heterostructured materials are a new class of materials composed of heterogeneous zones with dramatically different properties. They exhibit superior mechanical or physical properties that surpass their conventional homogenous counterparts. This review focuses on the structural heterostructured materials, which achieve their superior mechanical properties through hetero-deformation induced strengthening and work hardening. The unique deformation behavior of these materials, along with their wide application potential, is driving the rapid development of the field.

Modelling stress relaxation after hot deformation: Microstructure-property relationships in Nb-bearing steels

Jianwei Zhao et al.

Summary: Stress relaxation after hot deformation is modeled by considering various physical phenomena, including dislocation recovery, recrystallization, and precipitation. The model incorporates new formulations, such as a vacancy-mediated dislocation climb approach for dislocation recovery. The softening behavior of 6 microalloyed steel grades is tracked and compared with experimental data. The approach is also discussed for its application in additive manufacturing microstructural relaxation.

Enhanced superplasticity achieved by disclination-dislocation reactions in a fine-grained low-alloyed magnesium system

Min Zha et al.

Summary: Superplastic forming is crucial for producing complex-shaped components in Mg-alloys, especially in high-alloyed systems. However, stabilizing small grains and facilitating grain boundary sliding in low-alloyed systems is challenging due to insufficient precipitates. Through a unique design strategy involving solute segregation, an Mg-1Zn-0.2Ca-0.2Zr-0.1Ag (wt.%) alloy achieved ~450% superplastic strain by absorbing intragranular dislocations through stress-driven grain boundary migration mediated by disclination-dislocation reactions. This study provides insights into the relationship between microstructural defects evolution and strain accommodation during superplastic deformation, shedding light on the nature of superplasticity mechanism.

Strength-ductility synergy in heterogeneous-structured metals and alloys

Jiaxi Jiang et al.

Summary: The strength-ductility tradeoff has been a persistent challenge in engineering metals and alloys, limiting their practical use in complex and extreme environments. The introduction of heterogeneous structures into metallic materials has recently emerged as a promising strategy for achieving a balance between strength and ductility.

Prominent role of multi-scale microstructural heterogeneities on superplastic deformation of a high solid solution Al-7Mg alloy

Min Zha et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the superplastic response of a high solid solution Al-7Mg alloy processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) under uniaxial tension. The study reveals that the evolution of microstructural heterogeneities can be regulated to favor superplastic deformation, achieving impressive elongation of approximately 523%. The high superplasticity is attributed to the cooperated mechanism of dislocation slip accommodated by continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) and grain boundary sliding (GBS) during deformation.
