High-temperature deformation behavior and concurrent microstructural evolution in novel Ni-based compositionally complex alloy by Ananya Chattree, Amrit Pandey, Saurabh S. Nene, Jaiveer Singh

“…Subsequently, the pseudo-binary phase diagram obtained from Thermo-Calc through the latest HEA database predicts the presence of newer strengthening ordered phases containing Ni-Al-Si at elevated temperatures in Ni-CCA. Microstructural characterization of as-cast Ni-CCA displayed the formation of γ-FCC phase dominated microstructure containing a minor fraction of BCC phase at room temperature whereas high-temperature compression depicted synergistic precipitation of Ni-Al-Si containing L12 type precipitate and dynamic recovery/recrystallization events during deformation leading to a marginal drop in yield strength (YS) at 800 °C. …”

Influence of microstructural characteristics on the corrosion response of Al–Sn–Zn alloys in dilute NaCl solution by André Barros, Clarissa Cruz, Ana Conde, Amauri Garcia, Noé Cheung

“…Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements revealed similar polarization resistance values across the studied alloys, while potentiodynamic polarization curves exhibited a sharp increase in anodic current density, indicating active corrosion without passivation for the three alloys. Microstructural characterization confirmed the presence of Sn-rich particles, nobler phases that promote corrosion at the interface with Zn-rich particles and the Zn-supersaturated α-Al matrix. …”
