The effect of Al addition on mechanical properties and plastic deformation behavior of (Ti45Cu40Zr10Ni5)100−xAlx(x= 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) amorphous alloy ribbons have been investigated by nanoindentation. The hardness and elastic modulus do not simply increase with the increase of Al content. The alloy with 8 at.% Al exhibits the highest hardness and elastic modulus. The serrations or pop-in events are strongly dependent on the loading rate and alloy composition.

Metals made by additive manufacturing (AM) have intensely augmented over the past decade for customizing complex structured products in the aerospace industry, automotive, and biomedical engineering. However, for AM fabricated steels, the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties is yet a challenging task with limited reports. To realize optimization and material design during the AM process, it is imperative to understand the influence of the microstructural features on the mechanical properties of AM fabricated steels. In the present study, three material blocks with 120×25×15 mm3 dimensions are produced from PH1 steel powder using powder bed fusion (PBF) technology to investigate the anisotropic plastic deformation behavior arising from the manufacturing process. Despite being identical in geometrical shape, the manufactured blocks are designed distinguishingly with various coordinate transformations, i.e. alternating the orientation of the block in the building direction (z) and the substrate plate (x, y). Uniaxial tensile tests are performed along the length direction of each specimen to characterize the anisotropic plastic deformation behavior. The distinctly anisotropic plasticity behavior in terms of strength and ductility are observed in the AM PH1 steel, which is explained by their varied microstructure affected by the thermal history of blocks. It could also be revealed that the thermal history in the AM blocks is influenced by the block geometry even though the same process parameters are employed.

Mechanical properties and micro-plastic deformation behavior of five bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were studied by instrumented indentation. These materials included La60Al10Ni10Cu20, Mg65Cu25Gd10, Zr52.5Al10Ni10Cu15Be12.5, Cu60Zr20Hf10Ti10, and Ni60Nb37Sn3 alloys. Remarkable difference in deformation behavior was found in the load–displacement curves of nanoindentation and pileup morphologies around the indents. Serrated plastic deformation depended on the loading rate was found in Mg-, Zr-, and Cu-based BMGs. The subsurface plastic deformation zone of typical alloys was investigated through bonded interface technique using depth-sensing microindentation. Large and widely spaced shear bands were observed in Mg-based BMG. The effect of loading rate on the indentation deformation behaviors in different BMGs was elucidated by the change of shear band pattern.

The new technique of using ultrasonic vibration to break hard rock is still in the experimental stage, but it has significant potential for improving the efficiency of hard rock crushing. We have analyzed the mechanical properties of granite under ultrasonic vibration and the characteristics of the damage produced. This was achieved by using an ultraloading device to apply continuous and discontinuous ultrasonic vibrations, respectively, to 32 mm diameter and 72 mm high granite samples. An ultradynamic data acceptor combined with strain gauges was used to monitor the strain of the granite in real time, and the elastic-plastic deformation behavior of the granite under ultrasonic vibration was observed. The results of this experiment indicate that the granite samples underwent elastic deformation, plastic deformation, and damage during this process. The samples first experienced compressive deformation with no obvious rupturing. As the vibration continued, the deformation finally became tensile, and significant fragmentation occurred. The mechanical properties of granite under ultrasonic vibration are analyzed in detail on the basis of these results, and the basis for selecting a vibration frequency is discussed.

Severe plastic deformation is an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of metallic alloys through promoting the grain structure. In the present work, simple cyclic extrusion compression technique (SCEC) has been developed for producing a fine structure of cast Al-1 wt. % Cu alloy and consequently enhancing the mechanical properties of the studied alloy. It was found that the grain structure was significantly reduced from 1500 µm to 100 µm after two passes of cyclic extrusion. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the as-cast alloy were 110 MPa and 12 %, respectively. However, the corresponding mechanical properties of the two pass CEC deformed alloy are 275 MPa and 35%, respectively. These findings ensure that a significant improvement in the grain structure has been achieved. Also, cyclic extrusion deformation increased the surface hardness of the alloy by 49 % after two passes. FE-simulation model was adopted to simulate the deformation behavior of the material during the cyclic extrusion process using DEFORMTM-3D Ver11.0. The FE-results revealed that SCEC technique was able to impose severe plastic strains with the number of passes. The model was able to predict the damage, punch load, back pressure, and deformation behavior.
