Superplastic Behaviour

ABSTRACTThe superplastic behaviour of Ti-6Al-4V alloy containing various amounts of hydrogen (0.07 ∼ 0.33wt%) has been investigated by tensile tests at temperatures of 800 ∼ 950°C. Results show that the solution of hydrogen in the alloy helps to reduce the flow stress with strain rate in the range of 1.67 ×10−4 ∼ 1.67×10−2 s−1 and makes the temperature of superplastlc deformation become Lower (810∼870°C). Nevertheless, it also causes a decrease of the strain rate sensitivity exponent and tensileelongation, However, by a suitable alloying with hydrogen (∼ 0.1wt%), the alloy can be made to undergo superplastlc deformation at a rather tow temperature (840°C) with an acceptable loss of superptastic ductility.

Zr Alloy

A Cu-0.87%Cr-0.06%Zr alloy was subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a temperature of 400 °C up to a total strain of ~ 12. This processing produced ultra-fine grained (UFG) structure with an average grain size of 0.6 μm and an average dislocation density of ~4×1014 m-2. Tensile tests were carried out in the temperature interval 450 – 650 °C at strain rates ranging from 2.8´10-4 to 0.55 s-1. The alloy exhibits superplastic behavior in the temperature interval 550 – 600 °C at strain rate over 5.5´10-3 s-1. The highest elongation-to-failure of ~300% was obtained at a temperature of 575 °C and a strain rate of 2.8´10-3 s-1 with the corresponding strain rate sensitivity of 0.32. It was shown the superplastic flow at the optimum conditions leads to limited grain growth in the gauge section. The grain size increases from 0.6 μm to 0.87 μm after testing, while dislocation density decreases insignificantly to ~1014 m-2.

Phase Fields

Mechanical behavior and microstructure evolution of the cast Ti-43.2Al-1.9V-1.1Nb-1.0Zr-0.2Gd-0.2B alloy were studied at temperatures from 1100 to 1250°С and strain rates in the range 0.001-1 s-1. Following phase fields (α2+γ), (α+γ), (α) and (α+β) during heating of alloy were revealed. Microstructure analysis after deformation and mechanical behavior allowed defining main processes of structure formation. Two temperature-strain rate conditions with pronounced superplastic behaviour were found: the first one corresponded to the (α2+γ)-phase field (1100°C), where the microstructure had mainly a lamellar morphology, and the second was associated with the (α+β)-phase field (1250°C), in which the α-phase dominated. At T=1100°C and έ=0.05 s-1the maximum strain rate sensitivitymwas of 0.40. At T=1250°C and έ=0.5 s-1the maximum strain rate sensitivitymwas of 0.59. In the (α2+γ)-phase field, superplastic behavior was associated with the transformation of the lamellar structure into globular one. In the (α+β)-phase field, it was due to the formation of a homogeneous refined microstructure during dynamic recrystallization. The relationship between coefficient m value and microstructure formed was discussed.

The Relationship

Finite element analysis is used to simulate indentation creep experiments with a cone-shaped indenter. The purpose of the work is to help identify the relationship between the strain-rate sensitivity of the hardness, νH, and that of the flow stress, νσ in materials for which elastic deformations are significant. In general, νH differs from νσ, but the ratio νH/νσ is found to be a unique function of H/E* where H is the hardness and E* is the modulus relevant to Hertzian contact. νH/νσ approaches 1 for small H/E*, 0 for large H/E*, and is insensitive to work hardening. The trend in νH/νσ as a function of H/E* can be explained based on a generalized analysis of Tabor’s relation in which hardness is proportional to the flow stress H = k × σeff and in which the proportionality factor k is a function of σeff/E*.

Temperature Heat

The flow stress of many materials is a function of the applied strain rate at elevated temperature. The magnitude of this effect is captured by the strain rate sensitivity parameter “m”. The strain rate sensitivity of two face–center cubic solid solution alloys that are proposed for use in high temperature heat exchanger or steam generator applications, Alloys 800H and 617, has been determined as a function of temperature over that range of temperatures relevant for these applications. In addition to determining the strain rate sensitivity, it is important for nuclear design within Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to determine temperature below which the flow stress is not affected by the strain rate. This temperature has been determined for both Alloy 800H and Alloy 617. At high temperature the strain rate sensitivity of the two alloys is significant and they have similar m values. For Alloy 617 the temperature limit below which little or no strain rate sensitivity is observed is approximately 700°C. For Alloy 800H this temperature is approximately 650°C.

AbstractThe strain rate sensitivity ß of the flow stress τ is associated with workhardening and β=(δτ/δln ε) is proportional to the workhardening increment τh = τ - τy, where τy is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of β/τh reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [101] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.

ABSTRACTThe superplastic behavior of a NiAI and Ni3Al duplex alloy was investigated. It was found that the alloy exhibits superplastic behavior over a narrow temperature range, from 975 °C to 1025°C at the strain rate of 1.52 × 10-4 s-1. A maximum tensile elongation of 149% was obtained at 1000°C with the strain rate sensitivity up to 0.375. The superplastic deformation of the duplex alloy can be approximately described by an empirical equation of the form: ε = Ao2.67 exp(-303,000 / RT). Optical microstructure and TEM observation show that the superplastic behavior mechanism of the investigated alloy is a process of continuous recovery and recrystallization during deformation.

The objective of the present study is to analyze the mechanical properties and thermal stability for rapidly solidified and extruded 5083 aluminum alloy (RS). Compression tests were performed in order to estimate flow stress and strain rate sensitivity relation for 5083 alloy in the temperature range of 20°C to 450°C. For the comparison purposes, conventionally cast and extruded industrial material (IM) was studied as well. Deformation tests performed at room temperature conditions show that rapidly solidified material exhibits about 40% higher yield stress (YS=320 MPa) than conventionally cast material (YS=180 MPa), while the deformation at 450°C results in significant decrease of flow stress parameters for RS material (YS=20 MPa) in comparison to IM material (YS=40 MPa). Strain rate sensitivity parameter determined for high temperature conditions indicates superplasticity behavior of RS material. Structural observations show that under conditions of high-temperature deformation there are no operating recrystallization mechanisms. In general, grain size below 1µm and size of reinforcing phases below 50 nm is preserved within the used deformation temperature range.
