Abstract Scope |
Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) often possess unique deformation mechanisms that lead to their superior mechanical properties, especially when these alloys are prepared by additive manufacturing (AKA 3D printing). These 3D-printed materials contain microstructural length-scales that span several orders of magnitude, making it quite challenging to investigate their deformation behavior. This presentation will report on our recent effort to probe the deformation mechanisms of 3D-printed model CoCrNi medium entropy alloys via in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction mechanical testing. Due to the complex laser-materials interactions during additive manufacturing and fast cooling rates associated with laser powder-bed-fusion processes, we observed unusual deformation mechanisms that have not been observed in conventional cast alloys. Assisted by transmission electron microscopy characterizations, we will discuss the general implications of these results for the design of a broader class of MPEAs with far superior properties, achievable by 3D printing processes. |
