Abstract:
The effect of sigma-phase precipitation on plastic anisotropy of the equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy was investigated. Annealing at 700 °C after cold-rolling leads to the formation of the Cr-rich σ phase with a fraction of 2.7%. It is experimentally found that the planar anisotropy (∆r = -0.16) of the CoCrFeMnNi alloy annealed at 700 °C is two times lower than that of the alloy annealed at 800 °C (∆r = -0.35). This observation was further supported by measuring the earing profile of cup specimens after the deep drawing process. The plastic strain ratio, normal anisotropy, and planar anisotropy were also predicted using the visco-plastic self-consistent model. The results indirectly indicated that the reduction of plastic anisotropy in alloy annealed at 700 °C can be attributed to the formation of the σ phase.

03:02Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
