Downsizing (power-to-weight ratio) and higher speeds lead to a rise in Hertzian contact pressures in combination with an increase in surface or oil temperatures. Under such conditions, commonly used bearing steels, such as 100Cr6, reach their limits, creating a demand for alternative slip-rolling resistant steel alloys. The present work therefore compares the slip-rolling performance of various steel types with Maraging- and PM-type steel alloys such as e.g. CSS-42L™, ASP2012, BIMAX42+, in the Hertzian contact pressure range up to P0max of 4 GPa. Through-hardened 100Cr6H (AISI 52100), case-hardened 20MnCr5 (AISI 5120H) and nitrogen alloyed Croni-dur30 (AMS 5898) still compete in terms of slip-rolling and wear resistance and load carrying capacity, whereas Maraging- and PM-type steel alloys offer superior strength and toughness properties.

Magnetic shape memory alloys have been examined intensively due to their multifunctionality and multitude of physical phenomena. For both areas, epitaxial films are promising since the absence of grain boundaries is beneficial for applications in microsystems and they also allow to understand the influence of a reduced dimension on the physical effects. Despite many efforts on epitaxial films, two particular aspects remain open.
First, it is not clear how to keep epitaxial growth up to high film thickness, which is required for most microsystems.
Second, it is unknown how the microstructure of premartensite, a precursor state during the martensitic transformation, manifests in films and differs from that in bulk.
Here, we focus on micrometer-thick austenitic Ni-Mn-Ga films and explain two distinct microstructural features by combining high-resolution electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction methods. First, we identify pyramid-shaped defects, which originate from {1 1 1} growth twinning and cause the breakdown of epitaxial growth. We show that a sufficiently thick Cr buffer layer prevents this breakdown and allows epitaxial growth up to a thickness of at least 4 μm. Second, premartensite exhibits a hierarchical microstructure in epitaxial films. The reduced dimension of films results in variant selection and regions with distinct premartensite variants, unlike its microstructure in bulk.
Absorption edge tomography, also known as differential tomography at absorption edges, is a method which exploits the sudden change of the attenuation coefficient, when the photon energy crosses the absorption edge of an element. Synchrotron radiation is the best source for absorption edge tomography, because of its small bandwidth, high intensity and easily adjustable photon energy. The synchrotron beamline BAMline at the synchrotron radiation facility BESSY II in Berlin, which is operated by the BundesanstaltfürMaterialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), provides a monochromatized beam in a photon energy range from 5 keV up to 80 keV with a bandwidth of 2%, when the double multilayer monochromator is used. Together with the microtomography setup, this enables differential tomography at the K edge of the elements from chromium up to the lanthanides, and up to uranium, when the L edges are used as well.
In this work, the absorption edge tomography is employed to perform a non-destructive, three-dimensional characterization of the microstructure of metallic alloys. As an example, a high strength Mg-Y-Zn alloy containing long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases is analysed. The alloy with a nominal composition of Mg97Y2Zn1 was synthesized by melting highly pure magnesium, zinc and a Mg-22%Y master alloy and casting an ingot, which was homogenised at 350 °C and then extruded using an extrusion ratio of 18:1.
The results demonstrate that synchrotron based absorption edge tomography is a promising technique to perform a 3D characterization of the microstructure of metallic alloys.
Corrosion behaviour of AlCrFe2Ni2Mox (x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.3 and 0.6) high-entropy alloys was investigated in a 0.1 M H2SO4 solution. Passive films formed upon anodic polarisation, built of Al-based inner layer and (Cr, Fe, Mo)-based outer layer, had good protective properties. In particular, they prevented corrosion of the (Al, Ni)-rich BCC-B2 phase, which was observed under open-circuit conditions. Moderate amounts of Mo, up to x = 0.3, positively affected the passivation ability of AlCrFe2Ni2. Significant changes in microstructure and phase composition of the alloy at higher Mo concentrations (x = 0.6) resulted in deterioration of its corrosion resistance.
