Using Al2O3-YTZ(3mol% yttria stabilized tetragonal zirconia) nanocomposite, superplastic extrusion under different conditions was adopted to form blade models. The results demonstrate that desired microstructure is achieved through the addition of 20mol% YTZ which acts as a second-phase pinning agent. At temperature range of 1650°C to 1700°C the material shows good deformability. At this elevated temperature the maximum extrusion pressure is lower than 25MPa, and the maximum punch speed is about 0.35mm·min-1. In superplastic extrusion the dominating deformation mechanism is grain sliding and rotation, the accommodating mechanism is intergranular zirconia coordinated deformation. Meanwhile static and dynamic grain growth also plays an important role in deformation.

ABSTRACTBoth static and dynamic grain growth have been studied during superplastic deformation of fine-grained yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) and alumina reinforced yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Al2O3/YTZ). Grain growth was observed in both materials at temperatures above 1350° C. In the case of Y-TZP, both static and dynamic grain growth were found to obey a similar equation of the form: where D is the instantaneous grain size, Do is the initial grain size, t is the time, and k is a kinetic constant which depends primarily on temperature and grain boundary energy. The activation energies for Y-TZP were approximately 580 and 520 kJ/mol, for static and dynamic grain growth, respectively. In the case of Al2O3/YTZ, it was found that the grain growth rate for the Al2O3 phase was slower than that for the ZrO2 phase. The growth rate of the ZrO2 phase in Al2O3/YTZ is, however, similar to that in monolithic ZrO2, i.e., Y-TZP.

In this study, superplastic tensile tests were carried out for Ti-6Al-4V alloy using different initial grain sizes (2.6 μm, 6.5μm and 16.2 μm) at a temperature of 920°C with an initial strain rate of 1×10-3 s-1. To get an insight into the effect of grain size on the superplastic deformation mechanisms, the microstructures of deformed alloy were investigated by using an optical microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results indicate that there is dramatic difference in the superplastic deformation mode of fine and coarse grained Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Meanwhile, grain growth induced by superplastic deformation has also been clearly observed during deformation process, and the grain growth model including the static and strain induced part during superplastic deformation was utilized to analyze the data of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
