Bimodal Grain Size

ABSTRACTAn Al 5083 alloy with a bimodal grain size has been previously synthesized using a low-temperature milling process and consolidation via cold isostatic pressing (CIP). This material has been shown to exhibit greatly improved strength when compared to conventional aluminum alloys. Additionally, this material has shown sensitivity to test conditions. In this work, we studied the effects of temperature on the strain rate sensitivity of this material by examining its elastic and plastic properties though uniaxial tension tests conducted under a variety of conditions at temperatures up to 473 K. Serrated stress-strain curves were observed, indicating dynamic strain aging. Strain rate sensitivity was found to depend non-monotonically on the test temperature.

Sensitivity Studies

Al 5083 alloy powder was mechanically milled in liquid nitrogen to achieve a nanocrystalline (NC) structure having an average grain size of 50 nm with high thermal stability, and then consolidated by quasi-isostatic (QI) forging. The consolidation resulted in ultrafine grains (UFG) of about 250 nm, and the bulk material exhibited enhanced strength compared to conventionally processed Al 5083. The hardness of as-cryomilled powder and the UFG material was measured by nanoindentation using loading rates in the range of 50−50,000 /N/s, and results were compared with the conventional grain size alloy. Negative strain rate sensitivity was observed in the cryomilled NC powder and the forged UFG plate, while the conventional alloy was relatively strain rate insensitive.

The structure–property relationships of a vintage ASTM A7 steel is quantified in terms of stress state, temperature, and strain rate dependence. The microstructural stereology revealed primary phases to be 15.8% ± 2.6% pearlitic and 84.2% ± 2.6 ferritic with grain sizes of 13.3 μm ± 3.1 μm and 36.5 μm ± 7.0 μm, respectively. Manganese particle volume fractions represented 0.38–1.53% of the bulk material. Mechanical testing revealed a stress state dependence that showed a maximum strength increase of 85% from torsion to tension and a strain rate dependence that showed a maximum strength increase of 38% from 10−1 to 103 s−1at 20% strain. In tension, a negative strain rate sensitivity (nSRS) was observed in the quasi-static rate regime yet was positive when traversing from the quasi-static rates to high strain rates. Also, the A7 steel exhibited a significant ductility reduction as the temperature increased from ambient to 573 K (300 °C), which is uncommon for metals. The literature argues that dynamic strain aging (DSA) can induce the negative strain rate sensitivity and ductility reduction upon a temperature increase. Finally, a tension/compression stress asymmetry arises in this A7 steel, which can play a significant role since bending is prevalent in this ubiquitous structural material. Torsional softening was also observed for this A7 steel.

First Case

ABSTRACTA method for construction of “processing windows” to avoid negative strain rate sensitivity and associated serrated flow in some aluminum alloys is described. The method is based on the amplitude Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations and analysis of bifurcation diagrams. The mathematical technique developed in the present work was applied to a specific aluminum alloy, Al-0.4%Mg-0.2%Si considered earlier in the literature [1-3], and yielded good results in terms of predicting the negative strain rate sensitivity regions in the “strain rate “temperature” parameter space. Using the GL-analysis it was demonstrated that even though the instability area is located in the region of intermediate strain rates, a qualitative difference exists between the areas of (relatively) fast and (relatively) slow strain rates. In the first case the dynamic behavior of the system is supercritical, in the second case it is subcritical. The second case is highly undesirable because it causes a sudden onset of stable stress serrations that are difficult to suppress, while in the first case the development of instability is gradual and, consequently, more easily controllable.

In the present study the superplastic behavior of Al-6%Mg–0.5%Cu and Al–8%Mg– 0.5%Cu in a coarse grain size condition has been studied. The alloys are melted in an electrical furnace under argon atmosphere. The ingots (25 mm thick) are homogenized at 400 °C during 72 h and then rolled at 430 °C to a thickness of 5 mm. The mean grain size after rolling is 55 µm for the 6%Mg alloy and 61 µm for the 8%Mg alloy. Tensile test specimens are machined from the rolled plate in the rolling direction. Strain-rate-change tests at temperatures between 300 and 450 °C and strain rates between 1x10-4 and 1x10-1 s-1 are carried out to determine the strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress. Finally, elongation to failure tests are conducted at temperatures and strain rates where the alloys show a high strain rate sensitivity. Elongations higher than 390 % are obtained for the 8%Mg alloy. It is observed that the grip regions of the deformed samples show coarser grains than the regions near to the fracture surface. This means that grain refinement takes place during deformation, suggesting that the principal deformation mechanism is dislocation creep.
