As part of a comprehensive study of microstructural and mechanical response of metals to uniaxial and biaxial deformations, the development of substructure in 1100 A1 has been studied over a range of plastic strain for two stress states.Specimens of 1100 aluminum annealed at 350 C were tested in uniaxial (UT) and balanced biaxial tension (BBT) at room temperature to different strain levels. The biaxial specimens were produced by the in-plane punch stretching technique. Areas of known strain levels were prepared for TEM by lapping followed by jet electropolishing. All specimens were examined in a JEOL 200B run at 150 and 200 kV within 24 to 36 hours after testing.The development of the substructure with deformation is shown in Fig. 1 for both stress states. Initial deformation produces dislocation tangles, which form cell walls by 10% uniaxial deformation, and start to recover to form subgrains by 25%. The results of several hundred measurements of cell/subgrain sizes by a linear intercept technique are presented in Table I.

ABSTRACTA series of Nb-Al-V alloys containing 20–40 at. % V and 10–25 at. % Al have been investigated. The phase distributions in the alloys indicate that Al promotes the formation of the A15 phase whilst V stabilises a B2 phase. Room temperature compression testing revealed that the B2 is inherently ductile such that for the alloys with less than 40% by volume of the A15 phase, strains of over 50% were obtained easily. The 2% offset yield stresses of these alloys did not vary significantly with composition, being 1.2±0.1GPa in each case. TEM studies were used to show that the deformation in the B2 phase occurs predominantly by the glide of screw-type super-partial dislocations with b=l/2<111> on {110} and {112}. In some alloys this dislocation activity was preceded by the formation of pseudo-twins, via a martensitic shear transformation.

The effect of Ca on the microstructure and mechanical properties of directionally solidified (DSed) Mg-3Zn-xCa alloys (x=0.2,0.5,0.8wt.%) was investigated in the present work. The results showed that the DSed samples with the growth rate of 120 μm/s had columnar dendritic structures and the primary dendritic arm spacing (PDAS) decreased with the content of Ca increase. The TEM result indicated that the growth orientation of the DSed Mg-Zn-xCa alloys was , which was independent of the content of Ca. The tensile tests at room temperature showed that the mechanical properties of the DSed Mg-Zn-xCa alloys were strongly affected by the content of Ca. The addition of Ca remarkably improved the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the yield strength (YS), while dramatically reduced the elongation (El). Prismatic slip and twinning were the main deformation mechanisms in tensile tests.
