We focused on the short-range order (SRO) and medium-range order (MRO) in the glassy structure. It is shown that there are icosahedral,FCC-and BCC-type SROs in the Zr-based metallic glasses. A structural model,characterized by imperfect ordered packing (IOP),was proposed based on the MD simulation and confirmed by the HRTEM observation. Furthermore,the evolution from IOP to nanocrystal during the crystallization of metallic glasses was also ex-plored. It is found that the growth from IOP to nanocrystal proceeds through three distinct stages: the formation of quasi-ordered structure with one-dimensional (1D) periodicity,then 2D periodicity,and finally the formation of 3D nanocrystals. It is also noted that these three growth steps are crosslinked.展开更多

Effects of Y203 additions on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The oxide-dispersion-strengthened （ODS） high-entropy alloy bearing 5wt% Y203 was found to have a finer grain with respect to the single-phase face-centered cubic （FCC） alloy without oxides. Consequently, the yield strength increased from 654 to 1754 MPa, and the fracture strength reached up to 2325 MPa while the plasticity decreased appreciably for the ODS high-entropy alloy. The synergic effects of grain size hardening and particle strengthening on mechanical properties of the ODS HEA were discussed. This finding indicates that the addition of nano-scaled oxides is an effective and feasible approach to designing HEAs with superior mechanical properties.展开更多
The effects of Sn and Ga additions on the glass forming ability （GFA） of （A186LasNi9）100_xSnx（x=0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1 and 2 at.%） and （Al86LasNi9）100_xGax（x=0, 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 at.%） alloys were system...The effects of Sn and Ga additions on the glass forming ability （GFA） of （A186LasNi9）100_xSnx（x=0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1 and 2 at.%） and （Al86LasNi9）100_xGax（x=0, 0.2, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 at.%） alloys were systematically investigated. Unlike common microal- loying methods, both Sn and Ga have a positive heat of mixing with the main component of A1. Our analysis confirmed that proper Sn addition can suppress the strong formation of a-A1 and enhance the GFA due to the positive heat of mixing between Sn and AI and the large difference in their atomic sizes. While the addition of Ga to the base alloy acted as the nucleation cites for ct-Al and accelerated precipitation of the ct-A1 phase, thus deteriorating the GFA.展开更多
