AbstractGrain size distribution effect on the mechanical behavior of NiTi and Vitroperm alloys were investigated. Yielding at significantly lower stresses than found in equiaxed counterparts, along with well defined strain hardening was observed in these nanocrystalline materials with large grains embedded in the matrix during tensile deformation at temperatures of 0.4Tm. At higher temperature the effect of grain size distribution on yield stress was not revealed while plasticity was increased in 50% in NiTi alloy with bimodal grain size structure.

The present study aims to assess the superelasticity behavior in Ni-rich NiTi alloy wire produced by rotary forging process. The thermomechanical process involved four steps of hot working at 800ºC, two steps of cold working with solution heat treatment at 800ºC between them, and subsequently a solution heat treatment (950ºC during 2 hours) followed by aging treatment at 350, 400 and 450 ºC during 30 minutes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and instrumented ultra-micro hardness testers evaluated the present phase at each aged sample and were compared with their mechanical behavior. The results put in evidence the work-hardening effect on a forged condition associated with the final step of cold rotary forging. The solution treatment promotes stress relaxation and precipitate dissolution. The sample heat-treated shows the presence of the precipitated (Ni4Ti3) and R phase. The presence of these precipitates is beneficial because precipitation-hardening increases the yield strength of austenite, which in turn contributes to better functional stability.

Ceramics, such as Al2O3 and SiC have numerous current and potential uses in applications where high temperature strength, hardness, and wear resistance are required often in corrosive environments. These materials are, however, highly anisotropic and brittle, so that their mechanical behavior is often unpredictable. The further development of these materials will require a better understanding of the basic mechanisms controlling deformation, wear, and fracture.The purpose of this talk is to describe applications of TEM to the study of the deformation, wear, and fracture of Al2O3. Similar studies are currently being conducted on SiC and the techniques involved should be applicable to a wide range of hard, brittle materials.
