In this study, size effects in micro- cylindrical compression were investigated experimentally. It was found that, with the increase of grain size and decrease of specimen size, flow stress decreases and inhomogeneous material flow increases. These size effects tend to be more distinct with miniaturization. Thereafter, a modified model considering orientation distribution of surface grains and continuity between surface grains and inner grains is developed to model size effects in micro- forming. Through finite element simulation, the effects of specimen size, grain size, and orientation of surface grains on the flow stress and inhomogeneous deformation were analyzed. There is a good agreement between experimental and simulation results.展开更多

Grain orientations can signif- icantly influence the failure mode of Pb-free solder joints under thermomechanical fatigue （TMF） due to the coefficient of thermal expansion （CTE） mismatch of β-Sn grains. The research work in this paper focused on the microstructure and damage evolution of Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu BGA packages as well as individual Sn3.5Ag solder joints without constraints introduced by the package structure under TMF tests. The mi- crostructure and damage evolution in cross-sections of solder joints under thermome- chanical shock tests were Characterized using optical microscopy with cross-polarized light and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, and orientations of Sn grains were determined by orientation imaging microscopy （OIM）. During TMF, obvious recrys- tallization regions were observed with different thermomechanical responses depend- ing on Sn grain orientations. It indicates that substantial stresses can build up at grain boundaries, leading to significant grain boundary sliding. The results show that recrystallized grains prefer to nucleate along pre-existing high-angle grain boundaries and fatigue cracks tend to propagate intergranularly in recrystallized regions, leading to an accelerated damage after recrystallization .展开更多

Calculations of these stresses for grains in various crystallographic orientations have been made for seven BCC transition metals Cr, Fe, Mo, Nb, Ta, V and W. Neglecting W, which is isotropic and the stresses are equiaxial and without grain orientation （hkl） dependence, the BCC metals may be grouped into two classes. In the first class （Cr, Mo, Nb and V）, the （100）-oriented grains have the largest stresses, while the stresses σ1 and σ2 in other （hkl）-oriented grains decrease linearly with the increase of the angle between （hkl） and （100）, and with σ1 〈 σ2 except in （100）- and （lll）-oriented grains. In the second class （Fe and Ta）, on the contrary, the （100）-oriented grains have the lowest stresses, and the stresses σ1 and σ2 in other （hkl）-oriented grains increase linearly with the increase of the angle between （hkl） and （100）, and with σ1 〉 σ2 except in （100）- and （111）-oriented grains.展开更多

Heat treatment at 673 K for 1 h followed by furnace cooling was performed to show the annealing impact. At three wheel speeds of 10, 20, and 30 m/s, the saturation magnetization nearly does not change. High wheel speed and heat treatment are inclined to promote the growth of 〈001〉 grains. Although the 〈001〉 orientation is not the easy axis of magnetization, the improvement of the texture in this direction makes the coercivity decrease, which counteracts the inverse effect of the grain size at high wheel speed. It indicates that for preparing soft magnetic ribbons, the interactive contribution of grain orientation variation and the grain size should be considered.展开更多

It was found that a high solidification rate led to sharper 〈001〉 texture and smaller grain size in the DS samples. One of the most important findings in this work was that such result was not in accordance with the general concept, and the sharper 〈001〉 texture was accompanied by the larger grain size. To explain the contradiction, the modeling samples with five grains were produced and the effect of solidification rate on the evolution of grain texture was illustrated based on the modeling samples.展开更多

Taking an Fe-C alloy as an example, the continuous evolution of a multi-phase transformation is simulated by using this new model. In addition, the growth of grains affected by the grain orientation of the parent phase （generated in liquid-solid phase transformation） in the solid-solid phase transformation is studied. The results show that the morphology of ferrite grains which nucleate at the boundaries of the austenite grains is influenced by the orientation of the parent austenite grains. The growth rate of ferrite grains which nucleate at small-angle austenite grain boundaries is faster than those that nucleate at large-angle austenite grain boundaries. The difference of the growth rate of ferrites grains in different parent phase that nucleate at large-angle austenite grain boundaries, on both sides of the boundaries, is greater than that of ferrites nucleating at small-angle austenite grain boundaries.展开更多

The development of recrystallization texture can be explained in terms of the effects of electricfield and primary annealing temperature on recovery.展开更多

Although the 〈001〉 orientation is not the easy axis of magnetization, the improvement of the texture in this direction makes the coercivity decrease, which counteracts the inverse effect of the grain size at high wheel speed. It indicates that for preparing soft magnetic ribbons, the interactive contribution of grain orientation variation and the grain size should be considered.

文摘Generally,layered Ni-rich cathode materials exhibit the morphology of polycrystalline secondary sphere composed of numerous primary particles.While the arrangement of primary particles plays a very important role in the properties of Ni-rich cathodes.The disordered particle arrangement is harmful to the cyclic performance and structural stability,yet the fundamental understanding of disordered structure on the structural degradation behavior is unclarified.Herein,we have designed three kinds of LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.06)Mn_(0.11)O_(2) cathode materials with different primary particle orientations by regulating the precursor coprecipitation process.Combining finite element simulation and in-situ characterization,the Li^(+)transport and structure evolution behaviors of different materials are unraveled.Specifically,the smooth Li^(+)diffusion minimizes the reaction heterogeneity,homogenizes the phase transition within grains,and mitigates the anisotropic microstructural change,thereby modulating the crack evolution behavior.Meanwhile,the optimized structure evolution ensures radial tight junctions of the primary particles,enabling enhanced Li^(+)diffusion during dynamic processes.Closed-loop bidirectional enhancement mechanism becomes critical for grain orientation regulation to stabilize the cyclic performance.This precursor engineering with particle orientation regulation provides the useful guidance for the structural design and feature enhancement of Ni-rich layered cathodes.

文摘In this work,texturing is proposed to improve the piezoelectric response of PSN-PMN-PT ceramics.The PSN-PMN-PT textured ceramic with a Lotgering factor F001 higher than 99%was synthesized by the liquid-phase-assisted template grain growth(TGG)method.The addition of CuO/B2 O3 sintering aids improves the BT templates induced grain orientation growth behavior significantly.In comparison with its random counterpart,the Cu/B-T textured ceramic exhibits a high Lotgering factor F001 of 99%and significantly enhanced dielectric and piezoelectric responses:ε_(r)~3100,tanδ~0.8%,d_(33)~1030 pC N^(-1),d_(33)·g_(33)~34.2×10^(-12) m^(2) N^(-1),d_(33)∗~1490 pm V^(-1)@5 kV cm^(-1),Smax~0.26%@20 kV cm^(-1) and H_(s)~8.5%.In the meantime,good temperature stability is observed in the Cu/B-T textured ceramic with a variation of d_(33)∗@20 kV cm^(-1) and annealed d_(33) lower than 9.68%and 18.1%over a wide temperature range of 25-140°C.This work shows that PSN-PMN-PT textured ceramic(Cu/B-T)has great potential for electrome-chanical device applications such as precision actuators,ultrasound transducers,and energy harvesters.
文摘This paper presents a deep learning Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)for predicting grain orientations from electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)patterns.The proposed model consists of multiple neural network layers and has been trained on a dataset of EBSD patterns obtained from stainless steel 316(SS316).Grain orientation changes when considering the effects of temperature and strain rate on material deformation.The deep learning CNN predicts material orientation using the EBSD method to address this challenge.The accuracy of this approach is evaluated by comparing the predicted crystal orientation with the actual orientation under different conditions,using the Root-Mean-Square Error(RMSE)as the measure.Results show that changing the temperature causes different grain orientations to form,meeting the requirements.Further investigations were conducted to validate the results.

文摘Sn-Bi-X solders are widely used in electronic packaging industry.However,thermomigration(TM)behaviors of Sn-BiX solder joints and the orientations change of Bi grains under the temperature gradient are rarely reported.In this study,Sn-Bi57-Ag0.7/Cu solder joints were used to conduct a TM test under a temperature gradient of 625℃/cm for 400 h,and an isothermal aging test at 85℃was also conducted for comparison.The microstructural evolution of Sn-Bi-X solder joints after reflow,TM and isothermal aging were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and electron probe microanalysis(EPMA).The results indicated that the Sn/Bi areal ratio after TM did not change significantly whether at the hot end(from 46.78%/52.12%to 50.90%/48.78%)or at the cold end(from 50.25%/49.64%to 48.71%/51.16%)compared with that of as-reflowed samples due to the insufficient thermal energy.The thickness of intermetallic compound(IMC)after TM at hot end(2.49μm)was very close to that of the IMC at cold end(2.52μm),which was also close to that of the aged samples.In addition,the preferred orientations of Sn and Bi grains in different Sn–Bi–Ag solder joints resulting from different conditions(reflow,TM and isothermal aging)were characterized by electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD).The obtained results demonstrated that both Sn and Bi grains had no preferred orientation whether after reflowor isothermal aging,while the orientation of Bi grains of the sample after TM changed from random direction to c-axis([0001]direction)parallel to the heat flow.Ag 3 Sn could hinder the change of orientation of Bi grains under the temperature gradient,and the corresponding mechanism was also systematically illuminated.This study firstly revealed the orientation change of Bi grains under the temperature gradient,which would have a profound guiding significance for enhancing the reliabilities of Sn–Bi–Ag solder joints.

文摘The fast developing perovskite solar cells shows high efficiency and low cost.However,the stability problem restricts perovskite from commercial use.In this work,we have studied the effect of grain orientation on the morphological stability of perovskite thin films.By tuning the inorganic/organic ratio in the precursor solution,perovskite thin films with both high crystallinity and good morphological stability have been fabricated.The thermal stability of perovskite solar cells based on the optimized films has been tested.The device performance shows no degradation after annealing at 100℃ for 5h in air.This finding provides general guidelines for the development of thermally stable perovskite solar cells.

文摘The complex grain fragmentation mechanisms of coarse grains in titanium alloys under multi-directional forging(MDF)directly influence the optimization and control of primary hot working processes.This study conducted MDF experiments onβ-phase as-cast Ti-6554 alloy and simulated non-uniform deformation during cyclic multi-directional compression through macro-and micro-deformation modeling.The results revealed that friction and surface cooling caused low strain and tensile stress concentration at billet edges,leading to mixed grain structures.In contrast,high strain and triaxial compressive stress at billet centers facilitated uniform grain refinement.After 14 compressions and 4 intermediate reheating processes,coarse grains of the billet were refined from 2-5 mm to 0.25-0.50 mm,achieving uniform grain sizes across different regions.For the first time,the orientation evolution of grains with different morphologies during multi-directional compressions was visualized microscopically.Columnar grains were found to be more easily subdivided than equiaxed grains due to local strain accumulation.Under cumulative compressions,grain orientations gradually rotated from uniform to random,driving continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX).Slip system interactions and concentrated misorientation led to the formation and extension of transition and shear bands,inducing grain fragmentation dominated by transgranular subdivided CDRX.Smooth grain boundaries transformed into serrated ones after multiple passes,providing additional nucleation sites for discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)and facilitating boundary expand CDRX.The interaction of diverse DRX mechanisms was the fundamental cause of grain refinement.This study clarified the principles of refining and homogenizing millimeter-grade coarse grains under increasing forging strain,offering valuable insights for the development of primary hot processing techniques for as-castβtitanium alloys.
文摘Grain-oriented silicon steels were prepared at different heating rates during high temperature annealing,in which the evolution of magnetic properties,grain orientations and precipitates were studied.To illustrate the Zener factor,the diameter and number density of precipitates of interrupted testing samples were statistically calculated.The effect of precipitate ripening on the Goss texture and magnetic property was investigated.Data indicated that the trend of Zener factor was similar under different heating rates,first increasing and then decreasing,and that the precipitate maturing was greatly inhibited as the heating rate increased.Secondary recrystallization was developed at the temperature of 1010℃when a heating rate of 5℃/h was used,resulting in Goss,Brass and{110}<227>oriented grains growing abnormally and a magnetic induction intensity of 1.90T.Furthermore,increasing the heating rate to 20℃/h would inhibit the development of undesirable oriented grains and obtain a sharp Goss texture.However,when the heating rate was extremely fast,such as 40℃/h,poor secondary recrystallization was developed with many island grains,corresponding to a decrease in magnetic induction intensity to 1.87 T.At a suitable heating rate of 20℃/h,the sharpest Goss texture and the highest magnetic induction of 1.94 T with an onset secondary recrystallization temperature of 1020℃were found among the experimental variables in this study.The heating rate affected the initial temperature of secondary recrystallization by controlling the maturation of precipitates,leading to the deviation and dispersion of Goss texture,thereby reducing the magnetic properties.

文摘The effect of solidification rate on grain structure evolution during directional solidification （I J：5） ot a Ni-oasea superalloy was explored. It was found that a high solidification rate led to sharper 〈001〉 texture and smaller grain size in the DS samples. One of the most important findings in this work was that such result was not in accordance with the general concept, and the sharper 〈001〉 texture was accompanied by the larger grain size. To explain the contradiction, the modeling samples with five grains were produced and the effect of solidification rate on the evolution of grain texture was illustrated based on the modeling samples.

文摘Piezoceramics with high and fatigue-resisted piezoelectric properties are strongly desired for actuator ap-plications.In this work,textured Pb(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3)-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_(3)ceramics with Lotgering factor F_(001)∼98%were fabricated by templated grain growth technique.Strong[001]c-grain orientation(f∼90%and r∼0.22)of the textured ceramics effectively produced about 230%enhanced piezoelectric coefficient d_(33)^(∗)(i.e.,S_(max)/E_(max))and substantially improved unipolar electrical fatigue resistance.Unipolar polarization P max and d_(33)^(∗)of the textured ceramics were nearly maintained up to 106 unipolar cycles,while 19%and 14%degradations were respectively observed from randomly oriented counterparts.Especially,normal-ized d_(33)^(∗)of the textured ceramics shows better unipolar fatigue resistance than those of piezoceramics reported previously.Much lower bipolar strain asymmetryγs(∼4%)was observed from the textured samples fatigued after 106 unipolar cycles as compared toγs∼23%for randomly oriented counterparts.While charged defect accumulation model described the serious fatigue deteriorations in randomly ori-ented ceramics,the current work revealed that substantially enhanced unipolar fatigue resistance of the textured ceramics is mainly associated with the inherent fatigue anisotropy,weakened local bias fields owing to both enhanced domain mobility and lower defect density near grain boundaries/interfaces,and increased intrinsic contribution due to more tetragonal content.These superior characteristics suggest the great potential of textured ceramics for high-performance and robust actuator applications.

文摘This work establishes a temperature-controlled sequence function, and a new multi-phase-field model, for liquid- solid-solid multi-phase transformation by coupling the liquid-solid phase transformation model with the solid-solid phase transformation model. Taking an Fe-C alloy as an example, the continuous evolution of a multi-phase transformation is simulated by using this new model. In addition, the growth of grains affected by the grain orientation of the parent phase （generated in liquid-solid phase transformation） in the solid-solid phase transformation is studied. The results show that the morphology of ferrite grains which nucleate at the boundaries of the austenite grains is influenced by the orientation of the parent austenite grains. The growth rate of ferrite grains which nucleate at small-angle austenite grain boundaries is faster than those that nucleate at large-angle austenite grain boundaries. The difference of the growth rate of ferrites grains in different parent phase that nucleate at large-angle austenite grain boundaries, on both sides of the boundaries, is greater than that of ferrites nucleating at small-angle austenite grain boundaries.

文摘To get a systematic understanding about dependence of deposition conditions on properties of Gd films,a series of Gd films were prepared under different Ar gas pressures:0.5,0.7,1.0,and 1.5 Pa,and another series of Gd films were prepared under different substrate temperatures:25,100,200,350,and 500℃.The effects of the deposition time,Ar pressure,and substrate temperature on microstructures and crystal orientation were investigated by grazingincidence X-ray diffraction(GIXRD)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The experimental results show that low Ar pressure and plenty deposition time will contribute to the formation of Gd hcp phase,which has better magnetic properties such as higher Curie temperature and bigger magnetic moment,and high substrate temperature can diminish the inner stress in Gd films and promote lattice parameters closer to those of the ideal Gd hcp-structure.

文摘The recrystallization texture in grain oriented silicon steel sheets, which were annealed at different primary annealingtemperatures with and without an electric field, was investigated. An automated electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD) technique was used to analyze the recrystallization texture. It was found that recovery and application ofelectric field in primary annealing lead to an increase of {001} component and a decrease of {111} component afterannealing at 900℃. The development of recrystallization texture can be explained in terms of the effects of electricfield and primary annealing temperature on recovery.
