The direct observations of the atomic arrangements in both conventional furnace annealed and electric pulse rapid annealed Fe78B13Si9 amorphous alloy have been conducted by the lattice imaging technique in a higt resolution electron microscope. The results showed that the embrittlement of the alloy was related to the extent of atomic rearrangements during the annealing processes. The embrittlement of the alloy after 1hour conventional furnace annealing at about 270℃ is caused by the sufficient atomic rearrangements which are characterized by the growth of some bct Fe3B-like atomic short range ordering regions already existed in the as-quenched structure. Electric pulse rapid annealing can effectively retard the above-mentioned atomic rearrangements and thus restrain the embrittlement. The embrittlement only occurs when certain amount of bcc α-Fe nanocrystals are precipitated in the amorphous matrix during electric pulse rapid annealing.

Materials Science & Engineering C-Biomimetic Materials Sensors and Systems
Bamboo, one of the strongest natural structural composite materials, has many distinguishing features. It has been found that its reinforcement unit, hollow, multilayered and spirally-wound bast fiber, plays an extremely important role in its mechanical behavior. In the present work, on the basis of the study on bamboo bast fiber and wood tracheid, a biomimetic model of the reinforcing element, composed of two layers of helically wound fiber, was suggested. To detect the structural characteristics of such a microstructure, four types of macro fiber specimens made of engineering composites were employed: axially aligned solid and hollow cylinders, and single- and double-helical hollow cylinders. These specimens were subjected to several possible loadings, and the experimental results reveal that only the double-helical structural unit possesses the optimum comprehensive mechanical properties. An interlaminar transition zone model imitating bamboo bast fiber was proposed and was verified by engineering composite materials. In our work, the transition zone can increase the interlaminar shear strength of the composite materials by about 15%. These biomimetic structural models can be applied in the design and manufacture of engineering composite materials.

Strengthening materials traditionally involves the controlled creation of internal defects and boundaries so as to obstruct dislocation motion. Such strategies invariably compromise ductility, the ability of the material to deform, stretch, or change shape permanently without breaking. Here, we outline an approach to optimize strength and ductility by identifying three essential structural characteristics for boundaries: coherency with surrounding matrix, thermal and mechanical stability, and smallest feature size finer than 100 nanometers. We assess current understanding of strengthening and propose a methodology for engineering coherent, nanoscale internal boundaries, specifically those involving nanoscale twin boundaries. Additionally, we discuss perspectives on strengthening and preserving ductility, along with potential applications for improving failure tolerance, electrical conductivity, and resistance to electromigration.

The half-width values of the X-ray diffraction profiles are frequently used to characterize the static strength of a strengthened surface, or the depth distribution of this mechanical parameter, in a strengthened surface layer, especially in a shot-peening affected layer. However, for the unpeened surface and the base material of the shot-peened specimen of an alloy steel treated in hard state, the experimental results shown in this article indicate that uniaxial tensile or compressive plastic deformation increases the yield strengths while it decreases the half-width values. The half-width values of the shot-peened surface and surface layer greatly decrease, whereas the yield strength of this surface remarkably increases. Accordingly, in the authors' opinion, the half-width values could not correctly describe the static strengths of hard metallic materials, and, contrary to the viewpoint put forward by a lot of researchers, the shot-peened surfaces of such materials are work hardened instead of work softened. A model demonstrating that plastic deformation reduces the half-width values by decreasing the second kind internal stresses is developed.

Mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental powder mixtures of Fe50Nb35C15, Fe60Nb30C10 and Fe50Nb40C10 was performed using a high energy ball mill. In the MA processing, ball milling first leads to a Fe-Nb-C amorphous phase and nanocrystalline NbC. Further milling results in the formation of a nanocrystalline solid solution of Fe(Nb, C) and nanocrystalline NbC in Fe50Nb35C15 and Fe60Nb30C10, while the final product for Fe50Nb40C10 is a mixture of amorphous Fe-Nb-C and nanocrystalline NbC.

Silver-carbon (Ag/C) contact materials with different types of carbon, including diamond, graphite, carbon black, and carbon nanotubes were,fabricated by high-energy ball milling and hot-pressing. Their microstructures, arcing properties, and stability of the carbon structures were investigated. The results show that Ag/C nanotubes material displays a scallop-like morphology, which is significantly different from the microstructure of other Ag/C materials with dispersed particles. During the process of discharge, the diamond and carbon black in Ag/C materials are partially graphitized, while the morphology and crystal structure of graphite component have little change, indicating the graphite structure of Ag/C materials is the most stable of all.

A systematic investigation on the hydrogen storage properties of Li-Mg-N-H materials with various compositions was performed. Li-Mg-N-H hydrogen storage materials were prepared by mechanically milling LiNH2/MgH2 mixtures with initial molar ratios ranging from 1.5:1 to 3: 1, followed by de/rehydriding at 200 degrees C. It was found that the hydrogen storage capacity of the system was highly dependent on the initial phase ratio of the LiNH2/MgH2 mixture. An optimum hydrogen capacity of about 5 wt% was achieved in the 2.15:1 LiNH2/MgH2 mixture. Different carbon materials, such as the single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes, graphite and activated carbon, were used as additive to improve the hydrogen storage performance. It was found that the dehydriding kinetics of the Li-Mg-N-H material could be markedly improved by adding a small amount of SWNTs, especially in the as-prepared state.
