Abstract
Spark plasma sintering (SPS), followed by hot extrusion technique is an effective powder metallurgy strategy for preparing high-performance Al-Ni based alloys by forming large numbers of Al-Ni phases. In order to obtain optimum strength and plasticity, one feasible method is to control the size and shape of Al-Ni phases by changing the sintering temperature of SPS. Thus, this study investigates the impact of SPS temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-Ni-Sc-Zr alloy. The results indicate that the strength decreases gradually while the plasticity gradually increases with rising SPS temperature. The decrease in strength is mainly due to the coarsening of Al-Ni phases, resulting in the reduced particle strengthening. While, this coarsening transforms the shape of Al-Ni phases from rod-shape to spherical-shape, thus eliminates the strain heterogeneity around the Al-Ni phases during deformation. Additionally, a higher SPS temperature suppresses the appearance of Ni-free region, further mitigating the heterogeneous distribution of plasticity during deformation. These combined effects alleviate strain localization and microcracks initiation, thereby promoting the plasticity. These results highlight the significant role of SPS temperature in strength and plasticity, which should be considered carefully for preparing high-performance eutectic Al alloys processed by powder metallurgy.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
