【 摘 要 】

Solute segregation is used to limit grain growth in nanocrystalline metals, but this stabilization often breaks down at high temperatures. Amorphous intergranular films can form in certain alloys at sufficiently high temperatures, providing a possible alternative route to lower grain boundary energy and therefore limit grain growth. In this study, nanocrystalline Ni-W that is annealed at temperatures of 1000 degrees C and above, then rapidly quenched, is found to contain amorphous intergranular films. These complexions lead to a new, unexpected region of nano crystalline stability at elevated temperatures. (C) 2018 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
