Enhanced strength and ductility in a high-entropy alloy via ordered oxygen complexes

TL;DR: It is shown that oxygen can take the form of ordered oxygen complexes, a state in between oxide particles and frequently occurring random interstitials, which lead to unprecedented enhancement in both strength and ductility in compositionally complex solid solutions, the so-called high-entropy alloys (HEAs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Hot cracking mechanism affecting a non-weldable Ni-based superalloy produced by selective electron Beam Melting

TL;DR: In this article, a non-weldable Ni-based superalloy was fabricated by powder bed-based selective electron beam melting (S-EBM) and cracks were consistently found to propagate intergranular and the effect of crystallographic misorientation on the cracking behavior was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the mechanisms of superplasticity in Ti–6Al–4V

TL;DR: In this article, surface observations were used to elucidate the deformation mechanisms responsible for the superplastic effect in Ti-6Al-4V. The authors used a scanning electron microscope to perform high-temperature in-situ tests for tensile and shear deformation modes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atomic-scale grain boundary engineering to overcome hot-cracking in additively-manufactured superalloys

TL;DR: In this article, a near-atomic-scale approach was used to investigate the details of the compositional decoration of grain boundaries in the coarse-grained, columnar microstructure in parts built from a non-weldable nickel-based superalloy by selective electron-beam melting.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of chromium and cobalt segregation at dislocations on nickel-based superalloys

TL;DR: In this paper, the segregation of solutes at dislocations in a polycrystalline and a single crystal nickel-based superalloy is studied, showing that pipe diffusion initiates the undesirable dissolution of γ' precipitates.
