AbstractUsing large-scale molecular dynamics simulation on a massively parallel computer, we have studied the initiation of cracking in a Monel-like alloy of Cu-Ni. In a low temperature 2D sample, fracture from a notch starts at a little beyond 2.5% critical strain when the propagation direction is perpendicular to a cleavage plane. We discuss a method of characterizing crack tip position using a measure of area around the crack tip.

ABSTRACTMetal alloys, when exposed to a salt/organic environment at elevated temperatures, corrode resulting in a decrease in the surface conductivity. This decrease can be monitored and assessed via the measurement of the incident and reflected microwave signals impinging upon the corroded surface. Several metallic alloys, stainless steels and inconels, were treated with a salt/organic mixture (proprietary) and heat treated at 1100 F. Periodically, the metals were removed from the furnace, allowed to cool to room temperature, and measured electrically. The samples were re-coated with the salt/organic mixture and re-heat treated. The electrical measurements showed a generally increased power absorption as corrosion thickness increased.

ABSTRACTComplex Metallic Alloys (CMAs) are metallic solids of high structural complexity, consisting of large numbers of atoms in their unit cells. Consequences of this structural complexity are manifold and give rise to a variety of exciting physical properties. The impact that such structural complexity may have on the lattice dynamics will be discussed. The surprising dynamical flexibility of Tsai-type clusters with the symmetry breaking central tetrahedron will be addressed for Zn6Sc, while in the Ba-Ge-Ni clathrate system the dynamics of encaged Ba guest atoms in the surrounding Ge-Ni host framework is analysed with respect to the experimentally evidenced strong reduction of lattice thermal conductivity. For both systems experimental results from neutron scattering are analyzed and interpreted on atomistic scale by means of ab initio and molecular dynamics simulations, resulting in a picture with the respective structural building blocks as the origin of the peculiarities in the dynamics.

The discovery of amorphous, or glassy, metallic alloys in 1959 posed an intellectual challenge. How can one describe the structure of glasses when there is no long-range periodicity? What can the structure tell us about why certain metal alloys form glasses more easily than others? First, some universal characteristics, if any exist, of the structure metallic glasses needed to be found. A convincing model was proposed for the structure of metallic glasses based on Bernal’s dense random packing (DRP) structure. Central to this proposal is the idea that the structure of metallic glasses is that of the random filling of space by non-interacting identical spheres. In this model, strongly directional interatomic bonds do not play an important role in determining the structure of metallic glasses. This model is hpwever in conflict with one proposed by Chen, which correlates increased glass formability with increased chemical interaction between dissimilar atoms.
