We examined fatigue-crack-growth behaviors of CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) under as-fatigued and tensile-overloaded conditions using neutron-diffraction measurements coupled with diffraction peak-profile analyses. We applied both high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and neutron-diffraction strain mapping for the complementary microstructure examinations. Immediately after a single tensile overload, the crack-growth-retardation period was obtained by enhancing the fat

Influences of chemical dilution and the number of weld layers on residual stresses in a multi-pass low-transformation-temperature (LTT) weld were investigated by finite element modelling and neutron diffraction. A coupled thermal-metallurgical-mechanical (TMM) model that took into account the chemical dilution effect was developed to simulate the complex LTT welding phenomena. The model was strictly validated by comparing the predictions with experimental measurements and the results found good

In the present work, the tensile properties of 15–5 PH steel fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) were examined with respect to the transient austenite phase. Compared with the 8%-transient-phase sample, the 18%-transient-phase one shows higher ultimate tensile strength and relatively low yield strength, as well as hardening behavior. We conducted in-situ neutron-diffraction study to examine the microstructure evolution for mechanistic understanding. After applying the external load, most
