AbstractThe potential-pH diagram, a graphical representation of the thermodynamically predominant reaction products in aqueous corrosion, is originally proposed for the corrosion of pure metals. The original approach only leads to stoichiometric oxides and hydroxides as the oxidation products. However, numerous experiments show that non-stoichiometric oxide scales are prevalent in the aqueous corrosion of alloys. In the present study, a room temperature potential-pH diagram considering oxide solid solutions, as a generalization of the traditional potential-pH diagram with stoichiometric oxides, is constructed for an FCC single-phase multi-principal element alloy (MPEA) based on the CALculation of PHAse Diagram method. The predominant reaction products, the ions in aqueous solution, and the cation distribution in oxides are predicted. The oxide solid solution is stabilized by the mixing free energy (or mixing entropy) and the stabilizing effect becomes more significant as the temperature increases. Consequently, solid solution oxides are stable in large regions of the potential-pH diagram and the mixing free energy mostly affects the equilibrium composition of the stable oxides, while the shape of stable regions for oxides is mostly determined by the structure of the stable oxides. Agreements are found for Ni2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+ between the atomic emission spectroelectrochemistry measurements and thermodynamic calculations, while deviations exist for Cr3+ and Co2+ possibly due to surface complexation with species such as Cl− and the oxide dissolution. By incorporating the solution models of oxides, the current work presents a general and more accurate way to analyze the reaction products during aqueous corrosion of MPEAs.

Aluminum additions to conventional 18Cr-8Ni austenitic stainless steel compositions impart excellent resistance to high sulfur environments. However, problems are typically encountered with aluminum additions above about 1% due to embrittlement caused by aluminum in solid solution and the precipitation of NiAl. Consequently, little use has been made of aluminum alloy additions to stainless steels for use in sulfur or H2S environments in the chemical industry, energy conversion or generation, and mineral processing, for example.A research program at the Albany Research Center has concentrated on the development of a wrought alloy composition with as low a chromium content as possible, with the idea of developing a low-chromium substitute for 310 stainless steel (25Cr-20Ni) which is often used in high-sulfur environments. On the basis of workability and microstructural studies involving optical metallography on 100g button ingots soaked at 700°C and air-cooled, a low-alloy composition Fe-12Cr-5Ni-4Al (in wt %) was selected for scale up and property evaluation.

In general, all BCC transition metals have been observed to twin under appropriate conditions. At the present time various experimental reports of solid solution effects on BCC metals have been made. Indications are that solid solution effects are important in the formation of twins. The formation of twins in metals and alloys may be explained in terms of dislocation mechanisms. It has been suggested that twins are nucleated by the achievement of local stress-concentration of the order of 15 to 45 times the applied stress. Prietner and Leslie have found that twins in BCC metals are nucleated at intersections of (110) and (112) or (112) and (112) type of planes.In this paper, observations are reported of a transmission microscope study of the iron manganese series under conditions in which twins both were and were not formed. High strain rates produced by shock loading provided the appropriate deformation conditions. The workhardening mechanisms of one alloy (Fe - 7.37 wt% Mn) were studied in detail.

The previous paper briefly described the fine microstructure of a mechanically alloyed oxide dispersion strengthened nickel-base solid solution. This note examines the fine microstructure of another mechanically alloyed system. This alloy differs from the one described previously in that it is more generously endowed with coherent precipitate γ forming elements A1 and Ti and it contains a higher volume fraction of the finely dispersed Y2O3 oxide. An interesting question to answer in the comparative study of the creep and stress rupture of these two ODS systems is the role of the precipitate γ' in the mechanisms of creep and stress rupture in alloys already containing oxide dispersoids.The nominal chemical composition of this alloy is Ni - 20%Cr - 2.5%Ti - 1.5% A1 - 1.3%Y203 by weight. The system receives a three stage heat treatment-- the first designed to produce a coarse grain structure similar to the solid solution alloy but with a smaller grain aspect ratio of about ten.

Aluminum-copper-silicon thin films have been considered as an interconnection metallurgy for integrated circuit applications. Various schemes have been proposed to incorporate small percent-ages of silicon into films that typically contain two to five percent copper. We undertook a study of the total effect of silicon on the aluminum copper film as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and ion microprobe techniques as a function of the various deposition methods.X-ray investigations noted a change in solid solution concentration as a function of Si content before and after heat-treatment. The amount of solid solution in the Al increased with heat-treatment for films with ≥2% silicon and decreased for films <2% silicon.
