| Abstract Scope |
Nanotwins are a type of interface that can imbue materials with enhanced mechanical properties such as strength and ductility, yet the compositional boundaries of their formation remain unclear. In this work, we apply a combinatorial high-throughput (CHT) approach using magnetron co-sputtering to generate hundreds of compositionally distinct films per deposition. Here, two ternary alloy systems, Cu-Ni-Al and Ni-Cr-Fe, are studied to explore trends that help isolate the role of individual elements in promoting or suppressing specific microstructural features, such as twins. This methodology acts as a screening tool for compositional effects on microstructure, providing insight into the design of tailored architectures. This work offers a path to reverse engineering the microstructures of complex alloys such as Inconel 725 by deconvoluting the influence of its base elements, ushering in the next generation of super alloys. |
