Nanoindentation hardness measurements were performed on nanocrystalline (nc-) Cu alloys to test recent molecular dynamics predictions that (i) solute segregation to grain boundaries can lead to significant strengthening and (ii) solutes with large size mismatch with Cu are most effective. Results show that the hardness of nc-Cu90Nb10 is greater than 5 GPa, more than double that of pure nc-Cu, whereas similar additions of Fe solute have nearly no effect. These results are in good agreement with simulations. (c) 2012 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Strain gradient crystal plasticity: Intergranular microstructure formation Özdemir, İzzet; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Springer International Publishing, 2016-01-01) This chapter addresses the formation and evolution of inhomogeneous plastic deformation field between grains in polycrystalline metals by focusing on continuum scale modeling of dislocation-grain boundary interactions within a strain gradient crystal plasticity (SGCP) framework. Thermodynamically consistent extension of a particular strain gradient plasticity model, addressed previously (see also, e.g., Yalcinkaya et al, J Mech Phys Solids 59:1-17, 2011), is presented which incorporates the effect of grain ...
Grain-Scale Investigations of Deformation Heterogeneities in Aluminum Alloys GÜLER, BARAN; Simsek, Ulke; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; EFE, MERT (2018-04-25) The an isotropic deformation of Aluminum alloys at micron scale exhibits localized deformation, which has negative implications on the macroscale mechanical and forming behavior. The scope of this work is twofold. Firstly, micro-scale deformation heterogeneities affecting forming behavior of aluminum alloys is investigated through experimental microstructure analysis at large strains and various strain paths. The effects of initial texture, local grain misorientation, and strain paths on the strain localiza...
Grain size stabilization of oxide dispersion strengthened CoCrFeNi-Y(2)O3 high entropy alloys synthesized by mechanical alloying Tekin, Mustafa; Polat, Gokhan; Kalay, Yunus Eren; KOTAN, HASAN (2021-12-01) Nanocrystalline CoCrFeNi high entropy alloys (HEAs) with 1 and 4 wt% nanosized Y2O3 were synthesized by high energy mechanical alloying and subjected to annealing treatments at different temperatures up to 1100 degrees C. X-ray diffraction (XRD), focused ion beam microscopy (FIB), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to investigate the microstructures of as-milled and annealed HEAs as a function of annealing temperature and Y2O3 content. The results have shown that the as-milled HEAs were so...
Grain refinement of al-si-mg cast alloys with niobium – boron addition Aldoğan, Enver Burak; Kalkanlı, Ali; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2021-2-15) The aim of this thesis is to observe the grain refinement effect of aluminum (Al), niobium (Nb) and boron (B) alloy for silicon and magnesium-based aluminum cast alloys, especially A357. When the silicon content exceeds the 3 % w.t on the aluminum, silicon and magnesium-based alloy, effectiveness of Al-Ti-B grain refiner decreases due to formation of titanium silicide precipitates, called as poisoning effect. The surface of the grain refining constitues are coated with titanium silicide, and number of TiB2 ...
Grain boundary grooving in bi-crystal thin films induced by surface drift-diffusion driven by capillary forces and applied uniaxial tensile stresses Akyildiz, Oncu; ÖREN, ERSİN EMRE; Ogurtani, Tarik Omer (2012-01-01) Grain boundary (GB) grooving, induced by surface drift-diffusion and driven by the combined actions of capillary forces and applied uniaxial tensile stresses, is investigated in bi-crystal thin films using self-consistent dynamical computer simulations. A physico-mathematical model, based on the irreversible thermodynamics treatment of surfaces and interfaces with singularities allowed auto-control of the otherwise free-motion of the triple junction at the intersection of the grooving surface and the GB, wi...
