Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

ABSTRACTIon implantation of lead or indium into aluminium results in spontaneous phase separation and formation of lead or indium precipitates. The precipitates grow in topotactical alignment with the matrix, giving TEM images characterized by moiré fringes. The size and density of the precipitates increase with increasing fluence until coalescence begins to occur. Implantations at elevated temperatures lead to formation of larger precipitates with well developed facets. This is particularly significant for implantations above the bulk melting point of the implanted species. Melting and solidification have been followed by in-situ TEM heating and cooling experiments. Superheating up to ∼ 50 K above the bulk melting point has been observed, and the largest inclusions melt first. Melting is associated with only partial loss of facetting of the largest inclusions. Initial growth of the inclusions occurs by trapping of atoms retained in supersaturated solution. Further growth occurs by coalescence of neighbouring inclusions in the liquid phase. Solidification is accompanied by a strong undercooling ∼ 30 K below the bulk melting point, where the smallest inclusions solidify first. Solidification is characterized by spontaneous restoration of the facets and the topotactical alignment.

Knowledge of the ideal shear strength of solid single crystals is of fundamental importance. However, it is very hard to determine this quantity at finite temperatures. In this work, a theoretical model for the temperature-dependent ideal shear strength of solid single crystals is established in the view of energy. To test the drawn model, the ideal shear properties of Al, Cu, and Ni single crystals are calculated and compared with that existing in the literature. The study shows that the ideal shear strength first remains approximately constant and then decreases almost linearly as temperature changes from absolute zero to melting point. As an example of application, the “brittleness parameter” of solids at elevated temperatures is quantitatively characterized for the first time.

Recent molecular dynamics simulation results have increased conceptual understanding of the grazing and the ploughing friction at elevated temperatures, particularly near the substrate’s melting point. In this commentary we address a major constraint concerning its experimental verification.

Renewed interest in the possible use of beryllium at elevated temperatures has led to the examination of several dilute beryllium alloys with elements that form high melting point beryllide intermetallic compounds. One such alloying element is yttrium, which forms a beryllide, YBe13, with a melting point of over 1900° C. This system has been reported to have a eutectic between Be and YBe13 at a composition under 1 wt% Y. 13 Dilute alloys in this system have been investigated as to their superplastic behavior.Samples were prepared by arc melting l0g buttons of Be-1wt% Y alloy, melting at least three times to promote homogeneity. Very small pieces of a button were then arc melted on a water cooled copper hearth and splat-quenched by means of a spring loaded hammer. Pieces of splat material were heat treated for 2h at 1000°C, and 3mm disks were punched out for subsequent twin jet electrolytic thinning and examination by transmission electron microscopy.
