Topic: Multiscale Phase Field Modeling of Phase Transformation and Plastic Deformation
Abstract
Based on gradient thermodynamics, Green function solution of long-range elastic interactions, and field representation of microstructures, the phase field method has received much attention lately as a quantitative technique to model complex morphological patterns formed during many materials processes including phase transformation, grain growth, sintering, interdiffusion, and plastic deformation. It accounts self-consistently for high volume fraction of precipitates, multiple anti-phase domains and orientation variants, dislocation core structures, shape anisotropy and spatial alignment induced by long-range elastic interactions, and complicated topological changes. Recently, a new microscopic phase field (MPF) model of precipitate-dislocation interactions was developed by using arbitrary inelastic strain fields and generalized stacking fault (GSF) energy. With ab initio calculations of GSF energy as model input, the MPF model has been shown quantitatively to be a 3D generalization of the Peierls-Nabarro model.
In this presentation we discuss formulations and applications of the method in modeling microstructure evolution during precipitation and plastic deformation. Examples are chosen to illustrate the capabilities of the method at both mesoscopic and microscopic length scales. At the mesoscopic level we present simulation predictions of various g/g?/SPAN> microstructures in Ni-base superalloys and a/b microstructures in Ti-alloys, with particular emphasis on the spatial variation, correlation and anisotropy of the microstructures. Recent investigations of creep deformation of Ni-base superalloys and a/b Ti-alloys demonstrate clearly the importance of detailed microstructural features in determining dislocation-precipitate interactions and the corresponding kinetic pathways of the deformation process. Many new dislocation processes beyond the conventional bypass and cutting mechanisms have been observed. We illustrate the unique opportunities offered by the MPF model to treat complex dislocation-microstructure interactions in these alloys without any a priori assumptions about dislocation geometry, core structure, and formation of stacking faults. In combination with the nudged elastic band method, the minimum energy path, activation energy and critical nucleus configuration during phase transformations and plastic deformation are characterized.

Synergistic Activities
Significant cost savings can be realized in alloy design and processing by using computer modeling, reducing the amount of experimental effort necessary. Wang’s research projects focus on the development of computational models and simulation techniques, validated by experimentation, for microstructural engineering of advanced materials. He is currently leading the computational efforts at the Center for Accelerated Maturation of Materials at the to develop new methodology for accelerated maturation of high performance structural materials.
His work ties closely to the University’s newly established research and education thrust on computational materials science and engineering. He and his colleagues have developed and taught new courses on Computational Modeling in Materials Science and Engineering at both undergraduate and graduate level and simplified versions of software packages developed in the research projects have been adopted in these courses.
