Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Deformation and phase transformation mechanisms of metallic materials are important topics in material science and engineering. The deformation mechanism of materials refers to the way in which materials deform under external forces. Deformation mechanisms such as twinning, martensitic transformation, and fracture, etc. are proposed to explain a material’s mechanical behavior, and among which dislocations are thought to play a dominant role. The deformation behavior of materials can be influenced by various factors, such as temperature, strain rate, grain size, etc., which can lead to different deformation mechanisms.

The phase transformation mechanism refers to the process by which a material changes its crystal structure under certain conditions such as temperature, pressure, or stress. It can also affect the mechanical properties of materials, such as strength, ductility, toughness, etc.

In summary, understanding the deformation and phase transformation mechanisms of metallic materials is crucial for designing new materials with improved mechanical properties for various applications, such as those in aerospace engineering, the automotive industry, biomedical engineering, etc.. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies related to the deformation and phase transformation mechanism of metallic materials, as influenced by their basic properties, processing history, microstructure and operating environment.

An eight-sided prism sample, obtained from a hot-rolled AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet, was compressed at room temperature along the transverse direction to investigate the influence of local strain on twinning behavior using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) measurements, hardness distribution, and metallographic observations. The octagonal surface of the sample was divided into distinct regions based on hardness distribution and metallographic observations. Combined analysis of the Schmid factor (SF) and the strain compatibility factor (m’) was employed to study twin variant selection. Basal on SF ratio distribution, the Schmid factor criterion, can predict over 75% of observed twin variants in regions A and D (normal stress samples). In contrast, 64% of twin variant selection behavior in region C (shear stress sample) can be effectively explained using a pure shear model. Twin variants with high strain compatibility factors may prefer activation to reduce stress concentration. The strain compatibility factor is more appropriate than the Schmid factor for analyzing the effect of local strain on the selection behavior of twin variants. Full article

The phase composition of metallic α-U and Fe after mechanical synthesis in conditions of severe (mega) plastic deformation at room temperature using rotational Bridgman anvils was studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that mechanical synthesis results in U6Fe and UFe2 intermetallic formation with a precursor represented by UFe2(D) and UFe3(D) defective phases and a defective dispersed mechanical mixture of iron and uranium. Low-level annealing at 300 °C results in the ordering of the defective phases and transition of a dispersed mechanical mixture of iron and uranium into U6Fe and UFe2 intermetallics. The diffusion mechanism of intermetallic formation in conditions of cold deformation of iron and uranium mixture was established, and the high deformation and thermal phase stability of intermetallics U6Fe and UFe2 was shown.

A study of microstructure, phase composition, mechanical properties, corrosion processes, and biocompatibility in vitro of the Zn–1%Mg and Zn–1%Mg–0.1%Ca alloys in an annealed state and after rotary swaging (RS) is presented. Partially recrystallized microstructure is formed in the studied alloys after RS at 200 °C. RS reduces the mass fraction of intermetallic phases in comparison with annealed states of the alloys. RS at 200 °C increases the strength of the Zn–1%Mg and Zn–1%Mg–0.1%Ca alloys up to 248 ± 9 and 249 ± 9 with the growth of ductility up to 10.3 ± 3% and 14.2 ± 0.9%, respectively. The structure after RS at 200 °C does not lead to a change in the corrosion resistance of the studied alloys. However, an increase in the incubation period of the alloys in a growth medium slows down the degradation process due to the formation of a film consisting of degradation products. Rotary swaging does not impair the biocompatibility of the Zn–1%Mg and Zn–1%Mg alloys, maintaining the viability and integrity of blood cells, preventing hemolysis, and ensuring the adhesion and proliferation of osteogenic cells on the surface of samples.
