Alliages base Cobalt en surfusion sous champ magnétique intense : propriétés magnétiques et comportement à la solidification / Magnetic Properties and Solidification Behavior of Undercooled Co Based Alloys Under High Magnetic FieldWang, Jun 24 September 2012 (has links)
Ce travail est dédié à l'étude de l'effet des champs magnétiques sur les propriétés magnétiques et le comportement à la solidification d'alliages à base de Cobalt en surfusion sous champ magnétique intense. Les alliages à base Co sont d'excellents candidats pour obtenir une surfusion en dessous ou proche du point de Curie sous champ intense en raison du faible écart entre ce point de Curie et la température du liquidus. Dans cette étude, un dispositif haute température de surfusion intégrant une mesure magnétique a été construit dans un aimant supraconducteur, et est utilisé pour la mesure in situ de l'aimantation de liquides surfondus et pour l'étude du sur-refroidissement et de l'évolution de la microstructure de solidification en champ intense. Le cobalt liquide en surfusion est fortement magnétique sous champ, et son aimantation est même supérieure à celle du solide au chauffage à la même température. L'aimantation de l'alliage proche eutectique Co-B en surfusion dépend de la température de surchauffe, tandis que le Co-Sn en surfusion est toujours paramagnétique. La surfusion moyenne et l'étendue de la recalescence de différents métaux et alliages est affectée par un champ externe. En champ magnétique uniforme, la surfusion du Cuivre est amplifiée, tandis que la surfusion du Cobalt et de Co-Sn reste identique. Cependant, l'étendue de la recalescence du Cobalt et de Co-Sn est réduite, et l'effet est d'autant plus important pour des teneurs supérieures en Cobalt. Le champ magnétique promeut la précipitation de la phase dendritique a-Co et la formation d'eutectique anormal dans la microstructure des alliages Co-Sn surfondus. Les processus d'évolution de la microstructure sont affectés par le champ magnétique, et dépendent de l'intensité du champ et de la surfusion. Ce travail offre de nouveaux horizons dans l'étude des propriétés magnétiques d'alliages métalliques en forte surfusion et dans l'étude de la solidification hors équilibre sous champ magnétique intense. / This work is devoted to the investigation of the magnetic field effect on the magnetic properties and solidification behavior of undercooled Co based alloys in high magnetic field. Co based alloys are promising candidates to be undercooled below or approaching their Curie point in strong magnetic field due to their small temperature difference between liquid line and Curie point. In this dissertation, a high temperature undercooling facility with magnetization measurement system is built in a superconducting magnet, and is used for in situ measurement of the magnetization of the undercooled melts and study the undercoolability and solidification microstructure evolution in magnetic field. The deep undercooled Co melt is strongly magnetized in magnetic fields, and its magnetization is even larger than the magnetization of heated solid at the same temperature. The magnetization of undercooled Co-B near eutectic alloy is related with overheating temperature while the undercooled Co-Sn melt is always in paramagnetic state. Mean undercooling and recalescence extent of different metals and alloys are affected by external field. In uniform magnetic field, the undercooling of Cu is enhanced while the undercoolings of Co and Co-Sn keep constant. However, the recalescence extents of Co and Co-Sn alloys are reduced, and with the increasing Co content, the effect becomes larger. Magnetic field promotes the precipitation of αCo dendrite phase and the formation of anomalous eutectics in solidified microstructure of undercooled Co-Sn alloys. The microstructure evolution processes are affected by magnetic field depending on the field intensity and undercooling. This work opens a new way to investigate the magnetic properties of deeply undercooled metallic melts and non-equilibrium solidification in strong magnetic fields.

Solid-Solution Strengthening and Suzuki Segregation in Co- and Ni-based AlloysDongsheng Wen (12463488) 29 April 2022 (has links)
<p>Co and Ni are two major elements in high temperature structural alloys that include superalloys for turbine engines and hard metals for cutting tools. The recent development of complex concentrated alloys (CCAs), loosely defined as alloys without a single principal element (e.g. CoNiFeMn), offers additional opportunities in designing new alloys through extensive composition and structure modifications. Within CCAs and Co- and Ni-based superalloys, solid-solution strengthening and stacking fault energy engineering are two of the most important strengthening mechanisms. While studied for decades, the potency and quantitative materials properties of these mechanisms remain elusive. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Solid-solution strengthening originates from stress field interactions between dislocations and solute of various species in the alloy. These stress fields can be engineered by composition modification in CCAs, and therefore a wide range of alloys with promising mechanical strength may be designed. This thesis initially reports on experimental and computational validation of newly developed theories for solid-solution strengthening in 3d transition metal (MnFeCoNi) alloys. The strengthening effects of Al, Ti, V, Cr, Cu and Mo as alloying elements are quantified by coupling the Labusch-type strengthening model and experimental measurements. With large atomic misfits with the base alloy, Al, Ti, Mo, and Cr present strong strengthening effects comparable to other Cantor alloys. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stacking fault energy engineering can enable novel deformation mechanisms and exceptional strength in face-centered cubic (FCC) materials such as austenitic TRIP/TWIP steels and CoNi-based superalloys exhibiting local phase transformation strengthening via Suzuki segregation. We employed first-principles calculations to investigate the Suzuki segregation and stacking fault energy of the FCC Co-Ni binary alloys at finite temperatures and concentrations. We quantitatively predicted the Co segregation in the innermost plane of the intrinsic stacking fault (ISF). We further quantified the decrease of stacking fault energy due to segregation. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>We further investigated the driving force of segregation and the origin of the segregation behaviors of 3d, 4d and 5d elements in the Co- and Ni-alloys. Using first-principles calculations, we calculated the ground-state solute-ISF interaction energies and revealed the trends across the periodic table. We discussed the relationships between the interaction energies and the local lattice distortions, charge density redistribution, density of states and local magnetization of the solutes. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Finally, this thesis reports on new methodologies to accelerate first-principles calculations utilizing active learning techniques, such as Bayesian optimization, to efficiently search for the ground-state energy line of the system with limited computational resources. Based on the expected improvement method, new acquisition strategies were developed and will be compared and presented. </p>
