Dislocation exhaustion and ultra-hardening of nanograined metals by phase transformation at grain boundaries
The development of high-strength metals has driven the endeavor of pushing the limit of grain size (d) reduction according to the Hall-Petch law. But the continuous grain refinement is particularly challenging, raising also the problem of inverse Hall-Petch effect. Here, we show that the nanograined...

description | The development of high-strength metals has driven the endeavor of pushing the limit of grain size (d) reduction according to the Hall-Petch law. But the continuous grain refinement is particularly challenging, raising also the problem of inverse Hall-Petch effect. Here, we show that the nanograined metals (NMs) with d of tens of nanometers could be strengthened to the level comparable to or even beyond that of the extremely-fine NMs (d ~ 5 nm) attributing to the dislocation exhaustion. We design the Fe-Ni NM with intergranular Ni enrichment. The results show triggering of structural transformation at grain boundaries (GBs) at low temperature, which consumes lattice dislocations significantly. Therefore, the plasticity in the dislocation-exhausted NMs is suggested to be dominated by the activation of GB dislocation sources, leading to the ultra-hardening effect. This approach demonstrates a new pathway to explore NMs with desired properties by tailoring phase transformations via GB physico-chemical engineering. |
