Amorphous martensite in β-Ti alloys.

ABSTRACT: Martensitic transformations originate from a rigidity instability, which causes a crystal to change its lattice in a displacive manner. Here, we report that the martensitic transformation on cooling in Ti-Zr-Cu-Fe alloys yields an amorphous phase instead. Metastable β-Ti partially transforms into an intragranular amorphous phase due to local lattice shear and distortion. The lenticular amorphous plates, which very much resemble α'/α″ martensite in conventional Ti alloys, have a well-defined orientation relationship with the surrounding β-Ti crystal. The present solid-state amorphization process is reversible, largely cooling rate independent and constitutes a rare case of congruent inverse melting. The observed combination of elastic softening and local lattice shear, thus, is the unifying mechanism underlying both martensitic transformations and catastrophic (inverse) melting. Not only do we reveal an alternative mechanism for solid-state amorphization but also establish an explicit experimental link between martensitic transformations and catastrophic melting.

Project description:High entropy alloys and amorphous metallic alloys represent two distinct classes of advanced alloy materials, each with unique structural characteristics. Their emergence has garnered considerable interest across the materials science and engineering communities, driven by their promising properties, including exceptional strength. However, their extensive compositional diversity poses substantial challenges for systematic exploration, as traditional experimental approaches and high-throughput calculations struggle to efficiently navigate this vast space. While the recent development in data-driven materials discovery could potentially help, such efforts are hindered by the scarcity of comprehensive data and the lack of robust predictive tools that can effectively link alloy composition with specific properties. To address these challenges, we have deployed a machine-learning-based workflow for feature selection and statistical analysis to afford predictive models that accelerate the data-driven discovery and optimization of these advanced materials. Our methodology is validated through two case studies: (i) a regression analysis of the bulk modulus, and (ii) a classification analysis based on glass-forming ability. The Bayesian-optimized regression model trained for the prediction of bulk modulus achieved an R2 of 0.969, an mean absolute error (MAE) of 3.958 GPa, and an root mean square error (RMSE) of 5.411 GPa, while our classification model for predicting glass-forming ability achieved an F1-score of 0.91, an area-under-the-curve of the receiver-operating-characteristic curve of 0.98, and an accuracy of 0.91. Furthermore, by leveraging a wide array of chemical data from diverse literature sources, we have successfully predicted a broad range of properties. This success underscores the efficacy of our modeling approach and emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive feature analysis and judicious feature selection strategy over a mere reliance on complex modeling techniques.
