Critical Grain Size

Abstract We have synthesized nanocrystalline thin films of Cu, Zn, TiN, and WC having uniform grain size in the range of 5 to 100 nm. This was accomplished by introducing a couple of manolayers of materials with high surface and have a weak interaction with the substrate. The hardness measurements of these well-characterized specimens with controlled microstructures show that hardness initially increases with decreasing grain size following the well-known Hall-Petch relationship (H∝d−½). However, there is a critical grain size below which the hardness decreases with decreasing grain size. The experimental evidence for this softening of nanocrystalline materials at very small grain sizes (referred as reverse Hall-Petch effect) is presented for the first time. Most of the plastic deformation in our model is envisioned to be due to a large number of small “sliding events” associated with grain boundary shear or grain boundary sliding. This grain-size dependence of hardness can be used to create functionally gradient materials for improved adhesion and wear among other improved properties.

The regular and irregular echinoid fauna of the Northern Bay of Safaga (Red Sea, Egypt) has been investigated within the framework of an actuopaleontological study of the flora, fauna, sediments and facies. The distribution of echinoids has been compared to grain size parameters as well as to the distribution of other organisms.The study area (ca. 10 × 7 km) was investigated using SCUBA-diving techniques along 55 transects with a total length of 126 km. Echinoid presence was quantified using weights of fragments (2 mm) originating from 67 standardized bulk samples distributed throughout the Bay. The complex morphology of the echinoid test and the spines allow the identification of fragmented material upon comparison to complete specimens. The resulting data was analyzed using correlation techniques as well as Q and R-mode multivariate statistical analysis. This method counters the difficulties originating from the cryptic habitats and patchy distributions.The results of the analysis show that echinoid distribution can be analyzed for both regular and irregular wchinoid taxa despite taphonomic bias and restrictions imposed by the analytic method. Time averaging in fact counters the difficulties arising from the patchy distributions of echinoids. There is a close correlation of echinoid distribution to sedimentary and bottom facies as well as to grain size parameters and other environmental factors. The distribution of irregular echinoids is highly differentiated with coarse coastal sand dominated by Clypeaster sp., Echinodiscus auritus, Fibularia ovulum, and Lovenia elongata; muddy sands by Laganum depressum, Clypeaster sp. and Echinocyamus crispus; and muds by members of the Schizasteridae. Regular echinoids, mostly Eucidaris metularia, Echinometra mathaei, Tripneustes gratilla, Heterocentrotus mammillatus and Diadema setosum, dominate the sediments found within, or near reefs, coral carpets and patch reefs.The methodology used in this actuopaleontological investigation should be useful in recognizing the distribution patterns of ancient echinoid faunas, especially in light of the significance of regular echinoids in the bioerosion of reefs and irregular echinoids in the bioturbation of sediments.

AbstractAn inverse Hall-Petch effect has been observed for nanocrystalline materials by a large number of researchers. This result implies that nanocrystalline materials get softer as grain size is reduced below a critical value. Postulated explanations for this behavior include dislocation based mechanisms and diffusion based mechanisms. In this paper, we report an explanation for the inverse Hall-Petch effect based on the statistical absorption of dislocations by grain boundaries, showing that the yield strength is both dependent on strain rate and temperature, and that it deviates from the Hall-Petch relationship at a critical grain size.

ABSTRACTLarge scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out to investigate the failure response of nanocrystalline Mg using the EAM potential under conditions of uniaxial tensile stress and uniaxial tensile strain loading. The MD simulations are carried out at a strain rate of 109s-1 for grain sizes in the range of 10 nm to 30 nm. The effect of grain size on the strength of the metal is investigated and the critical grain size for transition to inverse Hall-Petch regime is identified.
