a new strategy to design eutectic high entropy alloys using mixing enthalpy
Intermetallics, 2017Co-Authors: Yiping Lu, Tongmin Wang, Hui Jiang, Tingju LiAbstract:Although eutectic high entropy alloys (EHEAs) display homogeneously fine microstructure, excellent Castability and promising industrial application potential, how to design eutectic compositions in high entropy alloys (HEAs) remains to be challenging. Here, a novel strategy, specifically, through calculation of mixing enthalpy, was used to locate eutectic compositions in HEAs. As a proof of this concept, a series of EHEAs were located and prepared following the mixing enthalpy method. Using this new strategy, eutectic compositions can be designed conveniently, once one can classify elements into two different groups. This new alloy design strategy can be readily adapted to locate new EHEAs.

directly cast bulk eutectic and near eutectic high entropy alloys with balanced strength and ductility in a wide temperature range
Acta Materialia, 2017Co-Authors: Yiping Lu, Haihui Ruan, Huijun Kang, Tongmin Wang, Li Jiang, Zongning Chen, Yubo Zhang, Yonghao Zhao, Tingju LiAbstract:High entropy alloys (HEAs) usually possess weak liquidity and Castability, and considerable compositional inhomogeneity, mainly because they contain multiple elements with high concentrations. As a result, large-scale production of HEAs by casting is limited. To address the issue, the concept of eutectic high entropy alloys (EHEAs) was proposed, which has led to some promise in achieving good quality industrial scale HEAs ingots, and more importantly also good mechanical properties. In the practical large-scale casting, the actual composition of designed EHEAs could potentially deviate from the eutectic composition. The influence of such deviation on mechanical properties of EHEAs is important for industrial production, which constitutes the topic of the current work. Here we prepared industrial-scale HEAs ingots near the eutectic composition: hypoeutectic alloy, eutectic alloy and hypereutectic alloy. Our results showed that the deviation from eutectic composition does not significantly affect the mechanical properties, Castability and the good mechanical properties of EHEAs can be achieved in a wide compositional range, and at both room and cryogenic temperatures. Our results suggested that EHEAs with simultaneous high strength and high ductility, and good liquidity and Castability can be readily adapted to large-scale industrial production. The deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of the eutectic and near-eutectic HEAs were thoroughly studied using a combination of techniques, including strain measurement by digital image correlation, in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The wavy strain distribution and the therefore resulted delay of necking in EHEAs were reported for the first time.

a promising new class of high temperature alloys eutectic high entropy alloys
Scientific Reports, 2015Co-Authors: Yiping Lu, Zhijun Wang, Haihui Ruan, Yong Dong, Huijun Kang, Tongmin Wang, Li Jiang, Tingju LiAbstract:High-entropy alloys (HEAs) can have either high strength or high ductility, and a simultaneous achievement of both still constitutes a tough challenge. The inferior Castability and compositional segregation of HEAs are also obstacles for their technological applications. To tackle these problems, here we proposed a novel strategy to design HEAs using the eutectic alloy concept, i.e. to achieve a microstructure composed of alternating soft fcc and hard bcc phases. As a manifestation of this concept, an AlCoCrFeNi 2.1 (atomic portion) eutectic high-entropy alloy (EHEA) was designed. The as-cast EHEA possessed a fine lamellar fcc/B2 microstructure, and showed an unprecedented combination of high tensile ductility and high fracture strength at room temperature. The excellent mechanical properties could be kept up to 700°C. This new alloy design strategy can be readily adapted to large-scale industrial production of HEAs with simultaneous high fracture strength and high ductility.

screening on binary ti alloy with excellent mechanical property and Castability for dental prosthesis application
Scientific Reports, 2016Co-Authors: K J Qiu, F Y Zhou, Yufeng Zheng, Wei Yua, L Wang, Yueche LiuAbstract:In the present study, the microstructure, mechanical property, Castability, corrosion behavior and in vitro cytocompatibility of binary Ti–2X alloys with various alloying elements, including Ag, Bi, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, Mo, Nb, Sn and Zr, were systematically investigated, in order to assess their potential applications in dental field. The experimental results showed that all binary Ti‒2X alloys consisted entirely α–Ti phase. The tensile strength and microhardness of Ti were improved by adding alloying elements. The Castability of Ti was significantly improved by separately adding 2 wt.% Bi, Ga, Hf, Mo, Nb, Sn and Zr. The corrosion resistance of Ti in both normal artificial saliva solution (AS) and extreme artificial saliva solution (ASFL, AS with 0.2 wt.% NaF and 0.3 wt.% lactic acid) has been improved by separately adding alloying elements. In addition, the extracts of studied Ti‒2X alloys produced no significant deleterious effect to both fibroblasts L929 cells and osteoblast-like MG63 cells, indicating a good in vitro cytocompatibility, at the same level as pure Ti. The combination of enhanced mechanical properties, Castability, corrosion behavior, and in vitro cytocompatibility make the developed Ti‒2X alloys have great potential for future stomatological applications.

microstructure mechanical properties Castability and in vitro biocompatibility of ti bi alloys developed for dental applications
Acta Biomaterialia, 2015Co-Authors: F Y Zhou, B L Wang, Lei Li, Yufeng ZhengAbstract:Abstract In this study, the microstructure, mechanical properties, Castability, electrochemical behaviors, cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility of Ti–Bi alloys with pure Ti as control were systematically investigated to assess their potential applications in the dental field. The experimental results showed that, except for the Ti–20Bi alloy, the microstructure of all other Ti–Bi alloys exhibit single α-Ti phase, while Ti–20Bi alloy is consisted of mainly α-Ti phase and a small amount of BiTi2 and BiTi3 phases. The tensile strength, hardness and wear resistance of Ti–Bi alloys were demonstrated to be improved monotonically with the increase of Bi content. The Castability test showed that Ti–2Bi alloy increased the Castability of pure Ti by 11.7%. The studied Ti–Bi alloys showed better corrosion resistance than pure Ti in both AS (artificial saliva) and ASFL (AS containing 0.2% NaF and 0.3% lactic acid) solutions. The concentrations of both Ti ion and Bi ion released from Ti–Bi alloys are extremely low in AS, ASF (AS containing 0.2% NaF) and ASL (AS containing 0.3% lactic acid) solutions. However, in ASFL solution, a large number of Ti and Bi ions are released. In addition, Ti–Bi alloys produced no significant deleterious effect to L929 cells and MG63 cells, similar to pure Ti, indicating a good in vitro biocompatibility. Besides, both L929 and MG63 cells perform excellent cell adhesion ability on Ti–Bi alloys. The hemolysis test exhibited that Ti–Bi alloys have an ultra-low hemolysis percentage below 1% and are considered nonhemolytic. To sum up, the Ti–2Bi alloy exhibits the optimal comprehensive performance and has great potential for dental applications.

[s.n.], 2018Co-Authors: Fernandes, Daniela RodriguesAbstract:Orientador: Simonides ConsaniTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Odontologia de PiracicabaResumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a influência da fonte de calor na fusibilidade e dureza de uma liga comercial à base de Ni-Cr (VERA BOND 11) nova, refundida (100%) e nova acrescida de sobras (50%). Para análise da fusibilidade foram confeccionadas 10 amostras para cada condição de liga, com uma tela para peneira de poliéster, com 11 X 11 filamentos de 0,22 mm de espessura, perfazendo uma malha de 100 espaços quadrados fixada bilateralmente por toda a extensão em fios de cera de 2,5 mm, contendo um pino formador do canal de alimentação no vértice. Para análise da dureza foram confeccionadas pastilhas em cera azul regular, com 8,0 mm de diâmetro por 2,0 mm de espessura, unidas a um pino formador do canal de alimentação. Após a obtenção dos padrões, estes foram fixados à base formadora do cadinho, de forma que a distância da base à câmara de reserva fosse 0,5 cm. Uma solução redutora da tensão de superfície foi aplicada sobre o padrão e após a secagem, este foi incluído em revestimento fosfatado - Termocast (Polidental, São Paulo Brasil) manipulado a vácuo, seguindo as instruções do fabricante quanto a proporção e tempo de manipulação. Os anéis foram aquecidos em forno elétrico (EDG) até atingirem a temperatura de 900°C, quando foram preenchidos por aproximadamente 15 gramas de liga fundida pela fonte de calor maçarico de fusibilidade, com o auxílio de um microscópio comparador com aumento de 16 X, considerando o número de espaços preenchidos no molde pela liga. Para análise da dureza superficial Rockwell 30T, os corpos-de-prova foram incluídos em resina acrílica quimicamente ativada, polidos e levados ao aparelho de dureza Testor HTI Super-Panambra, onde foram realizadas as medidas e obtidas as médias. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey, em nível de significância de 5%. Quando foram comparadas as fontes de calor com os diferentes tipos de liga houve diferença estatística significativa entre as fontes de calor, na qual o aquecimento por indução demonstrou melhores resultados para fusibilidade. Não houve diferença estatística significativa nos valores médios de dureza quando foi utilizada a fonte de calor maçarico e aquecimento por indução para as ligas virgem e mista, porém o aquecimento por indução demonstrou melhores resultados que o maçarico, diferindo estatisticamente os valores de dureza, quando da utilização da liga refundidaAbstract: The aim of the present study was to verify the influence of the heat source on the Castability and hardness of a Ni-Cr-based commercial alloy ¿ VERA BONO II - in three different conditions: new (first use), recast, and new mixed with scraps. In order to evaluate Castability, 10 specimens were made for each alloy condition, using a polyester sieve with 11x11 filaments, 0.22mm thick, resulting in a screen with 100 square spaces. This screen was fixed to 0.25mm threads along the extension of two sides, and a post was fixed to its vertex. In order to perform hardness analysis, circular specimens made of regular blue wax measuring 8.0 mm in diameter and 2.0 mm thick were connected to the post, forming the sprue. The patterns were then fixed to the casting chamber, so that the distance from the base to the reservoir was 0.5 cm. A surface tension-reducing solution was abundantly applied to the patterns and after drying, the patterns were embedded into a phosphate-bonded investment - Termocast (Polidental, São Paulo, Brazil) manipulated under vacuum pressure, following manufacturer's instructions regarding proportions and manipulation times. Casting rings were placed in an electric oven (Bravac) until the temperature of 900°C was reached, and were then filled with approximately 15 grams of alloy, molten either by an oxigen/acethylen gas torch or by induction as heat sources. Following this procedure, Castability evaluate hardness Rockwell 30T, specimens were embedded in chemically activated acrylic resin and then placed on a Testor HTI Super-Panambra hardness teste r. Hardness values for each specimen were obtained, and the average hardness was calculated. Results were submitted to analysis of variance and averages were compared by Tukey's test at 5% probability. There were statistically significant differences between the heat sources applied to the different types of alloy, with induction presenting the best Castability results. There were no statistically significant differences in the average hardness values between torch or induction as the heating source for new and mixed alloys, although induction showed the best results, leading to statistically significant differences in hardness, when recast alloy was used.DoutoradoDoutor em Materiais Dentário
