Nanostructured Ni-Co Alloys with Tailorable Grain Size and Twin Density

From: Metallurgical and Materials Transactions | Date: July 1, 2005| Author: Wu, B Y C; Ferreira, P J; Schuh, C A | Copyright information

We present an experimental approach to systematically produce nanostructures with various grain sizes and twin densities in the Ni-Co binary system. Using electrodeposition with various applied current densities and organic additive contents in the deposition bath, we synthesize nanostructured fee and hcp solid solutions with a range of compositions. Due to the low stacking fault energy (SFE) of these alloys, growth twins are readily formed during deposition, and by adjusting the deposition c...

Grain size and its influence on materials properties.(THE HEAT TREAT DOCTOR)
Industrial Heating ; As metallurgists, we know the importance of grain size, and as heat treaters, we need to be sure we understand how grain size will affect mechanical properties especially when designing our process recipes. Let's learn more. Grain size specifics The grain size of carbon and alloy steels is
Direct measurements of grain size in low-carbon steels using the laser ultrasonic technique
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; The laser ultrasonic technique has been used to determine grain sizes in commercial low-carbon steels. With an analysis method that employs scattering theory, absolute values of the grain size have been calculated directly from the ultrasonic traces without the need of any free-parameter fits or
Using Grain Size Analysis as the Basis for a Research Project in an Undergraduate Sedimentology Course
Journal of Geoscience Education ; ABSTRACT Multi-week, research style projects within the context of a one-semester undergraduate course provide scope to explore topics in depth and build student skills. I developed a research-style project for an undergraduate sedimentology course using grain size analysis of sediments that
The Hall-Petch relationship.(TECH NOTES)
Advanced Materials & Processes ; The Hall-Petch relationship is probably the most well known hypothesis that relates mechanical properties, such as yield stress and hardness, to observed grain size. The relationship was initially proposed by Hall and his proposal was extended by Petch. The Hall-Petch equation was originally based
Determination of Spatial Grain Size with the Area-Weighted Grain Area Distribution of the Planar Sections in Polycrystalline Materials
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; The electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) technique has made it quite easy to obtain the grain area distribution in a planar section of the polycrystalline materials. Usually, area-weighted grain area and number-weighted grain area show completely different distribution profiles. Instead of
