As the dimensions of interconnects in integrated circuits continue to shrink, an urgent need arises to understand the physical mechanism associated with electromigration. Using x-ray nanodiffraction, we analyzed the stresses in Blech-structured pure Cu lines subjected to different electromigration conditions. The results suggest that the measured r...
The use of hard X-ray transmission nano- and microdiffraction to performin situ stress and strain measurements during deformation has recently been demonstrated and used to investigate many thin film systems. Here a newly commissioned sample environment based on a commercially available nanoindenter is presented, which is available at the NanoMAX b...
Forging on an industrial scale often involves slow, size-limited cooling rates or high temperature hold times between, or after, deformation. This enables the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) initiated during forging to further progress under static conditions, a phenomenon called meta-dynamic recrystallization (mDRX). As mDRX will influence the fin...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect on high temperature of mechanical properties of adding Al2O3 particles to polycrystalline Mo(Si,Al)2. Mo(Si,Al)2-Al2O3 composites, containing 0–25 wt% Al2O3 particles have been compression tested at 1300 °C, and the microstructure after deformation was studied using electron backscatter diffractio...
Mo(Si,Al) 2 with different yttrium (Y) additions (up to 2 at.%) was synthesised by dry powder mixing followed by compaction and sintering. In as-sintered materials, Y was present as yttrium aluminium garnet. The materials were exposed in air at 1500 °C for up to 250 h to study the effect of Y on oxidation behaviour. The oxides formed were investiga...

The specimens were deformed to a strain of 10%–15% and showed maximum stresses around 150 MPa prior to pronounced softening. No crack formation or significant increase in porosity could be observed. Post-test microstructure an...
The load redistribution between and within phases in eutectic high entropy alloy AlCoCrFeNi2.1 was measured using in-situ neutron diffraction during tensile deformation at 973 K. The load partitioning between phases is reversed compared to lower temperatures, with L12 becoming the stronger phase. The evolution of the orientation-specific stresses a...
In alloys where carbides are the main grain boundary phase, the role of carbides during hot working is not known. Here, we address the effect of grain boundary carbides on the dynamic recrystallization during hot compression of Ni-base superalloy Haynes 282. When excluding variations from experimental factors neither stress evolution nor final micr...
Dynamical diffraction effects in thin single crystals produce highly monochromatic parallel x-ray beams with a mutual separation of a few microns and a time delay of a few femtoseconds—the so-called echoes. This ultrafast diffraction effect is used at X-Ray Free Electron Lasers in self-seeding schemes to improve beam monochromaticity. Here, we pres...
Cyclic micro-bending tests on fcc single crystal Ni-base Alloy 718 cantilevers with different crystal orientations were performed to analyze the influence of activated slip systems on dislocation plasticity, latent hardening and the Bauschinger effect.

Carbon fibre electrodes can enable a solid-state battery to carry mechanical load as normal construction materials. The multifunctionality is promising for most lightweight applications. Like all electrode materials, both volume and elastic moduli of the carbon fibre electrodes change during battery cycling. Such changes jeopardize the mechanical i...
Background
The trend in miniaturisation of structural components and continuous development of more advanced crystal plasticity models point towards the need for understanding cyclic properties of engineering materials at the microscale. Though the technology of focused ion beam milling enables the preparation of micron-sized samples for mechanical...
In-situ neutron diffraction was performed during tensile deformation of Ni-base superalloy, Haynes 282, at 20, 100 and 300 K. Two distinct uni-modal microstructures with fine (20 nm) and coarse (200 nm) γ′ particles were investigated. On the macro-scale yield strength increased and ductility decreased with decreasing temperature, although most sign...
This study presents a unique melting strategy in electron beam-powder bed fusion of Alloy 718 to tailor the grain morphology from the typical columnar to equiaxed morphology. For this transition, a specific combination of certain process parameters, including low scanning speeds (400–800 mm/s), wide line offsets (300–500 μm) and a high number of li...
Eutectic high entropy alloys are gaining increasing attention due to their excellent castability and combination of strength and ductility in the as-cast state. However, the detailed behavior of the nano-scale lamellar microstructure during deformation, and in particular the interaction between the phases, is not well understood. Here we use in-sit...
Studying cleavage properties of protective oxide scales is imperative to understand their fracture behaviour, since transgranular fracture is observed in many cases. The small thickness and polycrystalline structure of such scales makes it difficult to identify active cleavage planes directly from mechanical testing. To resolve this issue for Cr2O3...
Thermomechanical processes, such as forging, are important steps during manufacturing of superalloy components. The microstructural development during processing, which controls the final component properties, is complex and depends on e.g., applied strain, strain rate and temperature. In this study, we investigate the effect of process parameters...
Anisotropic 1-site and 2-site self-consistent models are developed to describe the elastic-viscoplastic behavior of polycrystalline materials deformed to finite strains on the basis of rate-dependent crystallographic slip and a generalized Hill-Hutchinson self-consistent approach. The choice of rate-dependent constitutive law at single crystal leve...
Dynamical diffraction effects in single crystals produce highly monochromatic parallel X-ray beams with a mutual separation of a few micrometer and a time-delay of a few fs -the so-called echoes. This ultrafast diffraction effect is used at X-ray Free Electron Lasers in self-seeding schemes to improve beam monochromaticity. Here, we present a coher...
Cooling-induced precipitation of the strengthening γ’ phase is commonly investigated in Ni-base superalloys with a high γ’ volume fraction, where it is used to control the final microstructure and properties.

Alloy 718 is a nickel-based superalloy that is widely used as a structural material for high-temperature applications. One concern that arises when Alloy 718 is manufactured using powder bed fusion (PBF) is that residual stresses appear due to the high thermal gradients. These residual stresses can be detrimental as they can degrade mechanical prop...

In this work, this technique is applied for the α + β-titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V to determine suitable process par...
Titanium-based alloys are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement (HE), a phenomenon that deteriorates fatigue properties. Ti-6Al-4V is the most widely used titanium alloy and the effect of hydrogen embrittlement on fatigue crack growth (FCG) was investigated by carrying out crack propagation tests in air and high-pressure H2 environment. The FCG tes...

The aim...

Chip formation during metal cutting involves high strain rates and large deformations. Under many conditions, the deformation is concentrated in narrow bands due to shear localisation from adiabatic heating. In order to understand the localisation process, it is necessary to increase the knowledge regarding the microstructural evolution during defo...
For low-cycle fatigue tests with smooth bars the number of cycles to initiation is commonly defined from a measured relative drop in maximum load.

Dynamic strain ageing (DSA) is a well-known phenomenon in a number of alloying systems, including the AA7XXX series aluminium alloys. The physical origin is the repeated pinning and un-pinning of moving dislocations by diffusing solute atoms and the phenomenon is thus highly temperature and strain rate dependent. In the present work, the DSA manife...
