Origin of stress overshoot in amorphous solids

Based on the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory, we propose a constitutive model for describing homogeneous elastoplastic deformation of amorphous solids where the interaction of shear transformations and free volume dynamics is incorporated. This theoretical model can reproduce the stress overshoot behavior that shows the dependence of strain rate, temperature, STZ population and dilatancy of systems. It reveals that the stress overshoots its steady state value due to the delayed activation of shear transformations that results from the insufficient free volume in the system. However, the subsequent strain softening (stress drop) is attributed to the shear-induced dilatation that is a result of the positive interplay between shear transformations and free volume creation, the latter playing the dominant role. Our analysis also demonstrates that the STZs, as basic carriers of amorphous plasticity, govern the yielding of the system, whereas the free volume dynamics significantly affects the post-yielding behaviors.     

Anomalous kinetics of lath martensite formation in stainless steel

The kinetics of lath martensite formation in Fe–17·3 wt-%Cr–7·1 wt-%Ni–1·1 wt-%Al–0·08 wt-%C stainless steel was investigated with magnetometry and microscopy. Lath martensite forms during cooling, heating and isothermally. For the first time, it is shown by magnetometry during extremely slow isochronal cooling that transformation rate maxima occur, which are interrupted by virtually transformation free temperature regions. Microscopy confirms martensite formation after athermal nucleation of clusters followed by their time dependent growth. The observations are interpreted in terms of time dependent autocatalytic lath martensite formation followed by mechanical stabilisation of austenite during the transformation process.     

Allotropic transformation induced stacking faults and discontinuous coarsening in a γ-γ′ Co-base alloy

The stability of a Co-based alloy designed to possess a microstructure comprising of L1₂, γ′ Co₃Ti-type precipitates embedded in an A1, γ Co solid solution matrix has been investigated. The alloy showed acute microstructural instabilities upon ageing at 700 °C, resulting in the degeneration of the γ-γ′ aggregate into i) a faulted Co-based martensite and Co₃Ti and ii) a lamellar aggregate of A3-Co and Co₃Ti. The faulted Co-based phase was formed by isothermal diffusionless transformation of the metastable A1-phase, whilst the lamellar aggregate was a discontinuous reaction product.     

Pre-martensitic phenomena in Ti40.7Hf9.5Ni44.8Cu5 shape memory alloy

Pre-martensitic phenomena such as abnormal resistivity growth, diffusion scattering, “tweed” contrast and internal friction peak were observed in Ti_40.7Hf_9.5Ni_44.8Cu₅ alloy prior to the forward martensitic transformation on cooling. It was shown that all the observed phenomena were due to the formation of quasi-static strain nanodomains in the B2 phase prior to the forward martensitic transformation. This led to accumulation of the elastic energy before the phase transition and resulted in the variation in thermodynamic balance for the forward martensitic transformation and, as a result, influenced the parameters of the phase transition. The appearance of elastic energy prior to the forward transformation caused a decrease in the forward and reverse martensitic transformations' start temperatures, a widening of the temperature range of the reverse transformation and an increase in the hysteresis of the transformation.

Thermally-induced phase transformations in KNNS-BNKZ lead-free piezoceramics

Promising piezoelectric properties have been reported in potassium sodium niobate-based ceramics by introducing Bi_0.5(Na_0.82K_0.18)_0.5ZrO₃ (BNKZ) into K_0.48Na_0.52Nb_0.95Sb_0.05O₃ (KNNS) solid solutions in order to control the polymorphic phase transformation temperatures. In the present study, synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction (SXPD) was employed in combination with dielectric and ferroelectric measurements in order to clarify the influence of BNKZ on the phase transition temperatures of (1-x)KNNS-(x)BNKZ ceramics (with x = 0 to 0.05). The results, presented in terms of temperature-dependent SXPD patterns, dielectric permittivity and thermal depolarisation characteristics, confirmed that polymorphic phase transformation temperatures all shifted in a systematic manner with increasing BNKZ content. Broadening of the phase transition regions was also observed with increasing BNKZ content, leading to improvements in thermal stability of the ferroelectric properties. Microstructural examination of the KNNS-BNKZ ceramics revealed the presence of core-shell microstructures; this was correlated with the presence of weak shoulders on the diffraction peaks.
