The compositional diffusional-trajectories for a phase separation of gamma(f.c.c.)/gamma-prime(L12) phases are studied in a quaternary Ni-10Al-8.5Cr-2Re alloy, aged at 700 deg.C for 0 to 1024 h, utilizing atom-probe tomography (APT). As the gamma-prime(L12)-precipitates grow, the enrichments of Ni, Cr, and Re and depletion of Al on the gamma(f.c.c.) matrix-side develop as a result of diffusional fluxes crossing the gamma(f.c.c.)/gamma-prime(L12) interface.The experimental (APT) compositional trajectories of the two-phases, gamma(f.c.c.)/gamma-prime(L12), are displayed in a quaternary phase-diagram, employing a tetrahedron, and compared with the Philippe-Voorhees (P-V) coarsening model which includes the off-diagonal terms in the diffusion tensor for the multi-component system.

The temporal evolution of ordered gamma-prime(L12)-precipitates and the compositional trajectories during phase-separation of the gamma(face-centered-cubic(f.c.c.)) and gamma-prime(L12)-phases are studied in a Ni-0.10Al-0.085Cr-0.02Re(mole-fraction) superalloy, utilizing atom-probe tomography, transmission electron microscopy, and the Philippe-Voorhees (PV) coarsening model. As the gamma-prime(L12)-precipitates grow, the excesses of Ni, Cr and Re, and depletion of Al in the gamma(f.c.c.)-matrix develop as a result of diffusional fluxes crossing gamma(f.c.c.)/gamma-prime(L12) heterophase interfaces. The coupling effects on diffusional fluxes was introduced (PV coarsening model) in terms of the diffusion tensor, D, and the second-derivative tensor of the molar Gibbs free energies, G, obtained employing Thermo-Calc and DICTRA calculations. The Gibbs interfacial free energies are (16.9 +- 3.4) mJ/m2 with all terms in D and G, which changes to (46.3 +- 5.1) mJ/m2, (92.3 +- 7.9) mJ/m2, and (-18.5 +- 2.6) mJ/m2 without including the off-diagonal terms in D, G, and both D and G, respectively. The experimental APT compositional trajectories are displayed and compared with the PV model in a partial quaternary phase-diagram, employing a tetrahedron. The compositional trajectories measured by APT exhibit curvilinear behavior in the nucleation and growth regimes, which become vectors, moving simultaneously toward the gamma(f.c.c.) and gamma-prime(L12) conjugate solvus-surfaces, for the quasi-stationary coarsening regime. The compositional trajectories are compared to the PV model with and without the off-diagonal terms in D and G. The directions including the off-diagonal terms in D and G tensors are consistent with the APT experimental data.
Contemporary powder-based polycrystalline nickel-base superalloys inherit microstructures and properties that are heavily determined by the thermo-mechanical treatments during processing. Here, the influence of a thermal exposure alone to an alloy po wder is studied to elucidate the controlling formation mechanisms of the strengthening precipitates using a combination of atom probe tomography and in-situ neutron diffraction. The initial powder comprised a single-phase supersaturated gamma only; from this, the evolution of gamma-prime volume fraction and lattice misfit was assessed. The initial powder notably possessed elemental segregation of Cr and Co and elemental repulsion between Ni, Al and Ti with Cr; here proposed to be a precursor for subsequent gamma to gamma-prime phase transformations. Subsolvus heat treatments yielded a unimodal gamma-prime distribution, formed during heating, with evidence supporting its formation to be via spinodal decomposition. A supersolvus heat treatment led to the formation of this same gamma-prime population during heating, but dissolves as the temperature increases further. The gamma-prime then reprecipitates as a multimodal population during cooling, here forming by classical nucleation and growth. Atom probe characterisation provided intriguing precipitate characteristics, including clear differences in chemistry and microstructure, depending on whether the gamma-prime formed during heating or cooling.
Co-base superalloys are considered as promising high temperature materials besides the well-established Ni-base superalloys. However, Ni appears to be an indispensable alloying element also in Co-base superalloys. To address the influence of the base elements on the deformation behavior, high-temperature compressive creep experiments were performed on a single crystal alloy series that was designed to exhibit a varying Co/Ni ratio and a constant Al, W and Cr content. Creep tests were performed at 900 {deg}C and 250 MPa and the resulting microstructures and defect configurations were characterized via electron microscopy. The minimum creep rates differ by more than one order of magnitude with changing Co/Ni ratio. An intermediate CoNi-base alloy exhibits the overall highest creep strength. Several strengthening contributions like solid solution strengthening of the $gamma$ phase, effective diffusion coefficients or stacking fault energies were quantified. Precipitate shearing mechanisms differ significantly when the base element content is varied. While the Ni-rich superalloys exhibit SISF and SESF shearing, the Co-rich alloys develop extended APBs when the $gamma^prime$ phase is cut. This is mainly attributed to a difference in planar fault energies, caused by a changing segregation behavior. As result, it is assumed that the shearing resistivity and the occurring deformation mechanisms in the $gamma^prime$ phase are crucial for the creep properties of the investigated alloy series.
Based on a set of machine learning predictions of glass formation in the Ni-Ti-Al system, we have undertaken a high-throughput experimental study of that system. We utilized rapid synthesis followed by high-throughput structural and electrochemical c haracterization. Using this dual-modality approach, we are able to better classify the amorphous portion of the library, which we found to be the portion with a full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of 0.42 A$^{-1}$ for the first sharp x-ray diffraction peak. We demonstrate that the FWHM and corrosion resistance are correlated but that, while chemistry still plays a role, a large FWHM is necessary for the best corrosion resistance.
We study the magnetization and the spin dynamics of the Cr$_7$Ni ring-shaped magnetic cluster. Measurements of the magnetization at high pulsed fields and low temperature are compared to calculations and show that the spin Hamiltonian approach provid es a good description of Cr$_7$Ni magnetic molecule. In addition, the phonon-induced relaxation dynamics of molecular observables has been investigated. By assuming the spin-phonon coupling to take place through the modulation of the local crystal fields, it is possible to evaluate the decay of fluctuations of two generic molecular observables. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ directly probes such fluctuations, and allows to determine the magnetoelastic coupling strength.
