Effect of strain rate on α-lath thickness of TC17 alloy with a basketweave microstructure was studied in the present work. For this purpose, this alloy was deformed in the β phase region and subsequently soluted and aged in α+β phase region. Moreover, optical micrograph (OM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were applied to analyze the change of lath thickness at different strain rates. The result showed that α-lath thickness increased with increasing strain rate. This phenomenon was possibly attributed to the higher degree of variant selection (DVS) at higher strain rate (0.1 s-1). The higher DVS was beneficial for the formation of parallel α-lath colonies during cooling after deformation. And, these parallel α-lath colonies would more easily grow up and coarsen during subsequent heat treatment. Therefore, α-lath at higher strain rate is more thick.

For analysis of engineering structural materials to withstand harsh environmental conditions, accurate knowledge of properties such as flow stress and failure over conditions of high strain rate and temperature plays an essential role. Such properties of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V(ELI) are not adequately studied. This paper documents an investigation of the high strain rate and temperature properties of different forms of heat-treated Ti6Al4V(ELI) samples produced by the direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). The microstructure and texture of the heat-treated samples were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an electron backscatter diffraction detector for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) equipment was used to carry out tests at strain rates of 750, 1500 and 2450 s−1, and temperatures of 25, 200 and 500 °C. The heat-treated samples of DMLS Ti6Al4V(ELI) alloys tested here were found to be sensitive to strain rate and temperature. At most strain rates and temperatures, the samples with finer microstructure exhibited higher dynamic strength and lower strain, while the dynamic strength and strain were lower and higher, respectively, for samples with coarse microstructure. The cut surfaces of the samples tested were characterised by a network of well-formed adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) with cracks propagating along them. The thickness of these ASBs varied with the strain rate, temperature, and various alloy forms.

The efficiency of gas turbine engines can improved by an increase of the working temperature. As a consequence Allvac® 718Plus™ was developed to enhance the high temperature properties. Since the performance of this alloy is strongly related to the microstructure the knowledge of the softening processes is important to develop precise microstructure evolution models. Specimens were deformed at different temperatures (950°-1050°C) and strain rate (0.1s-1– 10s-1) to strains of 0.2-1.5. The microstructures obtained were analyzed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in the scanning electron microscope to investigate the softening mechanisms at the respective forming conditions.

In this study, the variation of workability of semi-continuously casted and extruded ZK60A magnesium alloy was investigated. To determine the deformation capability of two different billets, uniaxial compression tests were conducted at elevated temperatures and two different strain rates. In addition, the microstructural evolution was investigated using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to compare the microstructure before and after the extrusion. The formability of ZK60A depending on the microstructure is discussed based on the experimental results obtained in this study, and is compared with earlier research in the literature.

The influence of heat treatment on the microstructure and the microtexture of electrodeposited Ni and Ni-Co layers was investigated with Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) with high resolution. Samples were annealed for 1 hour at 523 K and 673 K, the temperature region wherein recrystallisation occurs. The results are discussed in relation to the resolution of EBSD for the very fine grained electrodeposits and previous X-ray diffraction investigations.

Spray-forming Al–Cu–Mg alloy was compressed to 70% deformation at 300–450 °C and strain rates of 0.01–10.00 s−1 on a Gleeble-3180 system. The microstructures of the hot deformed, sprayforming, nano-sized Al–Cu–Mg alloys were studied through electron backscatter diffraction. Constitutive equation and parameter Z were established to describe the deformation behavior of the alloy at high temperature, and the Q value was 155.67 KJ·mol−1. 3D power dissipation and processing maps were analyzed under strain values of 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2. When the strain was increased from 0.6 to 0.9, the processing performance changed remarkably. Dynamic recovery occurred at low temperature and high strain rate, whereas dynamic recrystallization took place at increased temperature and low strain rate. The region in 400–450 °C and 0.01 s−1–0.08 s−1 exhibited an improved processing performance.

The effect of strain rate on the β texture evolution during two-step hot forging of Ti-6246 alloy was investigated. The two-step forging consisted of 15% or 50% prior-β forging at 980°C and subsequent 60% or 25% forging at 870°C in the (α + β) dual-phase region. The total compression ratio was 75%, and the investigated strain rates were 0.01 and 1.0 s−1. The β forging texture showed typical {001} and {111} body-centered cubic textures. With increasing compression ratio in the (α + β) region and at a strain rate of 0.01 s−1, the amount of precipitated α phase increased. Dynamic recrystallization was rarely observed after forging in the (α + β) region at a strain rate of 0.01 s−1. Large amounts of α precipitates lowered the {001} β texture intensity through slip transmission between the α and β phases under the Burgers orientation relationship. However, in specimens forged at a strain rate of 1.0 s−1, as the compression ratio in the β single-phase region increased, the growth of dynamic-recrystallized β grains was promoted at the prior-β grain boundaries, where α-phase precipitation was not substantial. These effects resulted in a higher {001} texture intensity of the β phase in specimens forged at 1.0 s−1 compared with that of the β phase in specimens forged at 0.01 s−1.

Abstract In this paper the new Vion™ Plasma-FIB system, developed by FEI, is evaluated for cross sectioning of Cu filled Through Silicon Via (TSV) interconnects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate and optimise different Plasma-FIB (P-FIB) milling strategies in terms of performance and cross section surface quality. The sufficient preservation of microstructures within cross sections is crucial for subsequent Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) grain structure analyses and a high resolution interface characterisation by TEM.
