AbstractThree-dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) allows nondestructive characterization of grains, orientations, and stresses in bulk microstructures and, therefore, enables in situ studies of the structural dynamics during processing. The method is described briefly, and its potential for providing new data valuable for validation of various models of microstructural evolution is discussed. Examples of 3DXRD measurements related to recrystallization and to solid-state phase transformations in metals are described. 3DXRD measurements have led to new modeling activity predicting the evolution of metallic microstructures with much more detail than hitherto possible. Among these modeling activities are three-dimensional (3D) geometric modeling, 3D molecular dynamics modeling, 3D phase-field modeling, two-dimensional (2D) cellular automata, and 2D Monte Carlo simulations.

AbstractMelting, solidification and solid-state transformation of the intermetallic Ni3Sn compound were investigated in situ using synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction. It was observed that the compound undergoes a hexagonal to cubic transition before melting. In solidification, a disordered cubic phase crystallizes from the liquid at a large undercooling but it is reordered prior to bulk solidification. In melting and solidification, forced or natural flows are active bringing about significant changes of crystal orientations. These in situ observations provided insights into phase transformations of Ni3Sn at elevated temperatures and their roles in formation of metastable microstructure consisting of coarse grains and subgrains.

AbstractFusion zone microstructures of an electron beam (EB) welded XDt m Ti–48at%Al + 6.5 vol% TiB2 alloy revealed plate-like precipitates which were absent in the base metal. The volume fraction of this phase increased with increasing cooling rate and correlated with increased weld cracking frequency. To determine whether this phase was a product of solidification from the melt or a product of a solid-state transformation, the microstructures of the welds were compared to those of samples cycled in a Gleeble 1500/20 Thermal-Mechanical Test System which was programmed to simulate the solid-state portion of the weld cooling rates (as predicted by a Rosenthal analysis). The microstructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical and by scanning electron microscopy. The plate-like phase found in the weld microstructures was identified as TiB2 occurring upon rapid solidification of the melted weld metal.

A microtwinned monoclinic phase is observed to occur within the grains of the hard magnetic phase in Nd2Fe14B-based permanent magnet alloys. This phase seems to be the product of a displacive solid state phase transformation of tetragonal Nd2Fe14B, distinguished from Nd2Fe14B by the presence of an ordered substitution into alternating unit cells parallel to the crystallographic c-axis and by a small shear of the type 〈100〉 {011}. The four different orientational variants of this monoclinic phase with respect to the parent tetragonal phase are arranged into two distinct colonies of twin-related plates. The observation that Nd2Fe14B can undergo a displacive solid state transformation has broad implications for the entire field of Nd2Fe14B permanent magnets.
