Abstract The structures of the equiatomic stannides RERhSn with the smaller rare earth elements Y, Gd-Tm and Lu were reinvestigated on the basis of temperature-dependent single crystal X-ray diffraction data. GdRhSn crystallizes with the aristotype ZrNiAl at 293 and 90 K. For RE = Y, Tb, Ho and Er the HP-CeRuSn type (approximant with space group R3m) is already formed at room temperature, while DyRhSn adopts the HP-CeRuSn type below 280 K. TmRhSn and LuRhSn show incommensurate modulated variants with superspace groups P31m(1/3; 1/3; γ) 000 (No. 157.1.23.1) (γ = 3/8 for TmRhSn and γ = 2/5 for LuRhSn). The driving force for superstructure formation (modulation) is a strengthening of Rh–Sn bonding. The modulation is expressed in a 119Sn Mössbauer spectrum of DyRhSn at 78 K through line broadening.

ABSTRACTUsing a scanning Hall-sensor microscope with an active area 50pμm × 50μm, we succeeded in visualizing a breakdown of paramagnetic austenite-phase in 304 stainless steels induced by a plastic strain at room temperature, resulting from a transformation to ferromagnetic martensite-phase. Magnetic images of spontaneous magnetic fields on a surface of strained sample show the degree and the place (and/or the extent) of phase breakdown. Furthermore, the images nearly agree with the calculated results for the principal shear stress rather than the principal stress under plastic deformation, indicative of the driving force of this breakdown. The study should open a way for non-destructive evaluation of 304 stainless steels.

We present experimental results to describe the stress relaxation behavior of thin (125 nm) freestanding gold films at room temperature. The experiments were performed inside a field emission scanning microscope using a MEMS-based test bed which is only 3mm × 10mm in size. The effect of stress relaxation on the young’s modulus of gold thin films is observed. The thin film specimen used in the experiment is co-fabricated with the micromechanical loading device and hence eliminates problems of alignment and gripping. Freestanding thin films provide us with information about the mechanical behavior of thin films in the absence of substrate effects.

In the present work, cross-wavy bending at room temperature was carried out to tailor the microstructure and stretch formability of rolled AZ31 sheets. Wavy bending processing generates profuse {10–12} twins and a tilt basal texture. Subsequent recrystallization annealing causes grain coarsening and enhances the intensity of twin-orientation. The combined use of wavy bending and annealing can maintain high tensile ductility and remarkably enhances the stretch formability of rolled AZ31 sheet. It can be mainly attributed to the non-basal texture in the wavy bent sheet which increases the thinning capability during in-plane tension.

The zero-to-tension ratchetting behavior was investigated under uniaxial loading at room temperature and at 550, 600, and 650°C. In History I the maximum stress level of ratchetting was equal to the stress reached in a tensile test at one percent strain. For History II the maximum stress level was established as the stress reached after a 2100 s relaxation at one percent strain. Significant ratchetting was observed for History I at room temperature but not at the elevated temperatures. The accumulated ratchet strain increases with decreasing stress rate. Independent of the stress rates used insignificant ratchet strain was observed at room temperature for History II. This observation is explained in the context of the viscoplasticity theory based on overstress by the exhaustion of the viscous contribution to the stress during relaxation. The viscous part of the stress is the driving force for the ratchetting in History I. Strain aging is presumably responsible for the lack of short-time inelastic deformation resulting in a nearly rate-independent behavior at the elevated temperatures.

A new bulge test device has been built, with the aim to perform mechanical tests on membranes with a thickness in the 100 nm to 10 µm range, between room temperature and 900°C. The first tests on Si3N4 and gold films give results consistent with literature data.

In the present work, electrolytic transport phenomena is studied for different electrolytes ( LiCl , NaCl , KCl of different concentrations) at room temperature (25 ± 2° C ) through etched pores with different diameters having cylindrical shape in track-etched membranes of polyethylene terepthalate (PET) with pore density of the order of 106/cm2. Electric potential has been used as the driving force. It has been observed that electrolytic transport through pores is different for different electrolytes, depending strongly on size of cations and is independent of size of anions. In the case of cylindrical pores, there has not been found appreciable change in forward and backward resistances.
