ABSTRACTExisting theories of irradiation-induced grain growth assume that growth occurs by the boundary migration mechanism commonly observed for thermal growth and that it is only the point defects generated si boundaries during the irradiation which are responsible for boundary migration. In contrast, in situ observations during ion irradiation of Au films at temperatures less than 20 K even have clearly demonstrated that growth occurs both by boundary migration and by grain coalescence. Here we present further evidence for the latter. Furthermore, the substantial defect cluster activity observed during irradiation suggests that dislocations play a significant role in the growth phenomenon. Here, we also demonstrate qualitatively that glide of such dislocations to or “through” a boundary can produce essentially the same effect on boundary position or structure that the original point defects would have had if they had migrated individually to or through the boundary. Via dislocation motion, point defects originating far from a boundary may induce boundary migration or boundary structure change, and hence, grain growth.

AbstractThe role of MgAl2O4 spinel particle dispersion in high-strain-rate superplasticity (HSRS) of tetragonal ZrO2 was examined by characterizing microstructural changes during deformation. The dispersed spinel particles elongate with strain along tensile direction and the elongation tends to be pronounced with increasing strain rate. In the elongated spinel particles, intragranular dislocations lying along the elongated direction were observed, suggesting that the elongation relates to the dislocation motion. The flow behavior characterized by a stress exponent of ≈ 2.0 suggests that grain boundary sliding (GBS) is the predominant flow mechanism. The dislocation-induced plasticity in the spinel particles may assist the relaxation of stress concentrations exerted by GBS, leading to HSRS in tetragonal ZrO2.

Grain boundaries (GBs) play a fundamental role in the strengthening mechanism of crystalline structures by acting as an impediment to dislocation motion. However, the presence of an aggressive environment such as hydrogen increases the susceptibility to intergranular fracture. Further, there is a lack of systematic investigations exploring the role of hydrogen on the dislocation–grain-boundary (DGB) interactions. Thus, in this work, the effect of hydrogen on the interactions between a screw dislocation and 〈111〉 tilt GBs in α -Fe were examined. Our simulations reveal that the outcome of the DGB interaction strongly depends on the underlying GB dislocation network. Further, there exists a strong correlation between the GB energy and the energy barrier for slip transmission. In other words, GBs with lower interfacial energy demonstrate a higher barrier for slip transmission. The introduction of hydrogen along the GB causes the energy barrier for slip transmission to increase consistently for all of the GBs examined. The energy balance for a crack initiation in the presence of hydrogen was examined with the help of our observations and previous findings. It was found that the presence of hydrogen increases the strain energy stored within the GB which could lead to a transgranular-to-intergranular fracture mode transition.

Abstract The mechanics of large-strain deformation in cutting of metals is discussed, primarily from viewpoint of recent developments in in situ analysis of plastic flow and microstructure characterization. It is shown that a broad range of deformation parameters can be accessed in chip formation—strains of 1–10, strain rates of 10–105/s, and temperatures up to 0.7Tm—and controlled. This range is far wider than achievable by any other single-stage, severe plastic deformation (SPD) process. The resulting extreme deformation conditions produce a rich variety of microstructures in the chip. Four principal types of chip formation—continuous, shear-localized, segmented, and mushroom-type—as elucidated first by Nakayama (1974, “The Formation of ‘Saw-Toothed Chip’ in Metal Cutting,” Proceedings of International Conference on Production Engineering, Tokyo, pp. 572–577) are utilized to emphasize the diverse plastic flow phenomena, especially unsteady deformation modes that prevail in cutting. These chip types are intimately connected with the underlying flow, each arising from a distinct mode and triggered by an instability phenomenon. The role of plastic flow instabilities such as shear banding, buckling, and fracture in mediating unsteady flow modes is expounded, along with consequences of the flow modes and chip types for the cutting. Sinuous flow is shown to be the reason why gummy (highly strain-hardening) metals, although relatively soft, are so difficult to cut. Synthesizing the various observations, a hypothesis is put forth that it is the stability of flow modes that determines the mechanics of cutting. This leads to a flow-stability phase diagram that could provide a framework for predicting chip types and process attributes.
