The effects of different prestrain levels, paths, and subsequent annealing on the postannealing mechanical properties of AA5182-O were investigated. Aluminum sheet specimens were prestrained in uniaxial, plane strain, and equibiaxial tension to several equivalent strain levels, annealed at 350 °C for short (10 s) and long (20 min) durations and then tested for postannealing mechanical properties, including tensile properties, anisotropy, and forming limits. The tensile properties, R-values at 0, 45, and 90 deg relative to the sheet rolling direction, and forming limit diagrams (FLDs) exhibited dependencies on prestrain and annealing history. The importance of the process variables and their effects were identified via designed experiments and analysis of variance. Three-dimensional digital image correlation, which captured the onset of local necking, was employed in the FLD development. Texture in the as-received and deformed sheets was investigated with electron backscatter diffraction and provided a means for linking prestrain and static recovery or recrystallization with microstructure. This guided the understanding of the mechanical property changes observed after preforming and annealing. Ultimately, the expanded forming limit curve demonstrated the advantage of annealing in extending the formability of strained AA5182-O.

The Relationship

The paper is devoted to highlighting the potential application of the quantitative imaging technique through results associated with work hardening, strain rate and heat generated during elastic and plastic deformation. The aim of the research presented in this article is to determine the relationship between deformation in the uniaxial tensile test of samples made of 1-mm-thick nickel-based superalloys and their change in temperature during deformation. The relationship between yield stress and the Taylor–Quinney coefficient and their change with the strain rate were determined. The research material was 1-mm-thick sheets of three grades of Inconel alloys: 625 HX and 718. The Aramis (GOM GmbH, a company of the ZEISS Group) measurement system and high-sensitivity infrared thermal imaging camera were used for the tests. The uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at three different strain rates. A clear tendency to increase the sample temperature with an increase in the strain rate was observed. This conclusion applies to all materials and directions of sample cutting investigated with respect to the sheet-rolling direction. An almost linear correlation was found between the percent strain and the value of the maximum surface temperature of the specimens. The method used is helpful in assessing the extent of homogeneity of the strain and the material effort during its deformation based on the measurement of the surface temperature.

Postweld Heat

In this study, the integrity of electron beam- (EB-) welded CA6NM—a grade of 13% Cr-4% Ni martensitic stainless steel—was assessed through the entire joint thickness of 90 mm after postweld heat treatment (PWHT). The joints were characterized by examining the microstructure, residual stresses, global mechanical properties (static tensile, Charpy impact, and bend), and local properties (yield strength and strain at fracture) in the metallurgically modified regions of the EB welds. The applied PWHT tempered the “fresh” martensite present in the microstructure after welding, which reduced sufficiently the hardness (<280 HV) and residual stresses (<100 MPa) to meet the requirements for hydroelectric turbine assemblies. Also, the properties of the EB joints after PWHT passed the minimum acceptance criteria specified in ASME sections VIII and IX. Specifically, measurement of the global tensile properties indicated that the tensile strengths of the EB welds in the transverse and longitudinal directions were on the same order as that of the base metal (BM). Evaluation of the local tensile properties using a digital image correlation (DIC) methodology showed higher local yield strengths in the fusion zone (FZ) and heat-affected zone (HAZ) of 727 MPa and 740 MPa, respectively, relative to the BM value of 663 MPa. Also, the average impact energies for the FZ and HAZ were 63 J and 148 J, respectively, and attributed to the different failure mechanisms in the HAZ (dimples) versus the FZ (quasi-cleavage consisting of facets and dimples). This study shows that the application of PWHT plays an important role in improving the weld quality and performance of EB-welded CA6NM and provides the essential data for validating the design and manufacturing process for next-generation hydroelectric turbine products.

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of chemical composition on the structure and mechanical properties of Mn-Ni-Mo and Ni-Mo-Cu PM steels. Pre-alloyed powder Astaloy 85Mo, diffusion alloyed powders Distaloy AQ and Distaloy AB produced by Höganäs, low carbon ferromanganese, carbonyl nickel powder T255 with three-dimensional filamentary structure and graphite CU-F have been used as the basic powders. Three mixtures with compositions of Fe-1%Mn-(0.5/1.75)%Ni-(0.5/0.85)%Mo-0.8%C and Fe-1.75%Ni-0.5%Mo-1.5%Cu-0.8%C were prepared in a Turbula mixer. Green compacts were single pressed in a steel die at 660 MPa according to PN-EN ISO 2740 standard. Sinterhardening was carried out at 1250°C in a mixture of 95% N2+5% H2 for 60 minutes. Mechanical tests (tensile, bend, hardness) and microstructural investigations were performed. Additionally, XRD and EDS analysis, fractographic investigations were carried out. The microstructures of steels investigated were mainly bainitic or bainitic-martensitic. Addition 1% Mn to Distaloy AQ based steel caused increase of tensile properties (YS from 422 to 489 MPa, UTS from 522 to 638 MPa, TRS from 901 to 1096 MPa) and decrease of plasticity (elongation from 3.65 to 2.84%).

An ultrafine-grained EN AW 6082 aluminum alloy was prepared by continuous serve plastic deformation (i.e., thermo-mechanical equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)–Conform process). A miniaturized tensile testing technique was used for estimating local mechanical properties with the aim to reveal the inhomogeneity of elastic and plastic properties in a workpiece volume. These inhomogeneities may appear due to the irregular shear strain distribution in a Conformed wire. Miniaturized samples for tensile testing were cut from the Conformed workpiece. Elongation of miniaturized samples was measured with a 2D digital image correlation technique as the optical extensometer. Tensile test characteristics, such as the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength, were consequently compared with results of conventional and hardness tests. The microstructure of Conformed bars was studied in the cross-section perpendicular and parallel to the extrusion direction using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis. The microstructure of samples exhibits pronounced inhomogeneity, which is reflected by the hardness and tensile test results. Estimated distinctions between peripheral and central parts of the Conformed wires are probably a consequence of the significant strain differences realized in the upper and bottom wire parts.

The testing of the mechanical properties of materials on a small scale is difficult because of the small specimen size and the difficulty of measuring the full-field strain. To tackle this problem, a testing system for investigating the mechanical properties of small-scale specimens based on the three-dimensional (3D) microscopic digital image correlation (DIC) combined with a micro tensile machine is proposed. Firstly, the testing system is described in detail, including the design of the micro tensile machine and the 3D microscopic DIC method. Then, the effects of different shape functions on the matching accuracy obtained by the inverse compositional Gauss–Newton (IC-GN) algorithm are investigated and the numerical experiment results verify that the error due to under matched shape functions is far larger than that of overmatched shape functions. The reprojection error is shown to be smaller than before when employing the modified iteratively weighted radial alignment constraint method. Both displacement and uniaxial measurements were performed to demonstrate the 3D microscopic DIC method and the testing system built. The experimental results confirm that the testing system built can accurately measure the full-field strain and mechanical properties of small-scale specimens.

Anisotropic Mechanical Properties

AbstractIn order to explore the possibilities enabled by laser beam powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M), reliable material models are necessary to optimize designs with respect to weight and stiffness. Due to the unique processing conditions in PBF-LB/M, materials often develop a dominating microstructure that leads to anisotropic mechanical properties, and thus isotropic material models fail to account for the orientation-dependent mechanical properties. To investigate the anisotropy of 18Ni300 maraging steel, tensile specimens were built in seven different orientations. The specimens were heat treated at two different conditions and tested for their tensile properties using digital image correlation (DIC) technique. The microstructure and fracture surfaces are investigated with scanning electron microscope and electron backscatter diffraction. The tensile properties are typical for the material, with a yield strength in the range of 1850 MPa to 1950 MPa, and ultimate tensile strength in the range of 1900 MPa to 2000 MPa. The elastic modulus is 180 GPa, and the elongation at fracture is in the range of 2–6% for all specimens. The strain fields analysed with DIC reveals anisotropic straining in both the elastic and plastic parts of the flow curve for both direct ageing and solution treatment plus ageing specimens. In the former condition, the elastic anisotropy is dictated by the fraction of melt pool boundaries on the transverse surfaces of the specimens. When the material is solution treated prior to ageing, the melt pool boundary effect was supressed.

Thermo-mechanical controlled processing (TMCP) is employed to obtain the required level of mechanical properties of contemporary HSLA steel plates utilized for gas and oil pipeline production. The strength and crack resistance of pipeline steels are mainly determined by its microstructure and crystallographic texture. In this study, the influence of the structural and textural states of industrially produced API-5L X70-X80 pipeline steels on tensile mechanical properties was analyzed. TMCP routes with different hot rolling temperatures and cooling rates were employed. The texture of steel was assessed using the Taylor factor, which was calculated based on electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The decrease in rolling temperature resulted in the sharper texture characterized by {001} planes banding (cleavage planes in the bcc lattice) parallel to rolling direction. The tensile deformation behavior at the stage of necking was determined by the crystallographic and morphological texture of the material and demonstrated significant anisotropy. Rupture of all investigated samples was accompanied by the development of splitting on the fracture surface. The splitting was localized in the rolling plane similar to the splitting in standard Charpy tests of pipeline steels.

Structure Evolution

This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the effects of multi-channel spiral twist extrusion (MCSTE) processing on the mechanical properties and structural evolution of AA5083. The structural evolution and texture developed were mapped by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for three successive passes and compared with an as-annealed plate. An evaluation of the hardness and tensile properties was presented and correlated with the EBSD findings. The displayed EBSD results revealed that grain refinement was strongly associated with the presence of a high density of low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) after one pass, which developed into fine grains of less than 20 μm and high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) after three MCSTE passes. The three pass processing led to a 65% reduction in grain size. This reduction in grain size was coupled with an enhancement in the hardness and tensile properties. Additionally, the crystallographic texture study represented a slightly random texture due to the presence of intermetallic particles in AA5083. This study demonstrates the efficacy of MCSTE as a grain refinement tool.
