AbstractUsing a cylindrical indenter, the indentation creep behavior of hot pressed and HIPed MoSi2-SiC composites containing 0-40% SiC by volume, was characterized at 1000-1200°C, 258-362 MPa. The addition of SiC affects the creep behavior of MoSi2 in a complex manner by pinning grain boundaries during pressing, thus leading to smaller MoSi2 grains; by obstructing or altering both dislocation motion and grain boundary sliding; and by increasing the overall yield stress of the material. Comparisons are made between indentation and compressive creep studies. It is shown that under certain conditions, compressive creep and indentation creep measurements yield comparable results after correcting for effective stresses and strain rates beneath the indenter.

Using a cylindrical indenter (or punch), the impression creep behavior of MoSi2-SiC composites containing 0–40% SiC by volume, was characterized at 1000–1200 °C, 258–362 MPa punch pressure. Through finite element modeling, an equation that depends on the material stress exponent was derived that converts the stress distribution beneath the punch to an effective compressive stress. Using this relationship, direct comparisons were made between impression and compressive creep studies. Under certain conditions, compressive creep and impression creep measurements yield comparable results after correcting for effective stresses and strain rates beneath the punch. However, rate-controlling mechanisms may be quite different under the two stressing conditions, in which case impression creep data should not be used to predict compressive creep behavior. The addition of SiC affects the impression creep behavior of MoSi2 in a complex manner by pinning grain boundaries during pressing, thus leading to smaller MoSi2 grains and by obstructing or altering both dislocation motion and grain boundary sliding.

Mg96Zn2Y2 (at.%) extruded alloy was fabricated by hot-extrusion of the Mg96Zn2Y2 machined chip. The Mg96Zn2Y2 extruded alloy consisted of a long period stacking ordered (LPSO)-, Mg3Zn3Y2- and Mg- phases. The Mg phase with mean grain size of 450 nm was confirmed by TEM. However, the LPSO- and Mg3Zn3Y2- phases had relatively large grain size compared with Mg phase. The Mg96Zn2Y2 extruded alloy also showed superplasticity at temperatures of 623 K and 723 K with initial strain rates from 2×10−1 s−1 to 2×10−3 s−1. The maximum elongation of 450 % was achieved at 723 K with an initial strain rate of 2×10−3 s−1. From TEM observation, it is considered that grain boundary sliding of Mg grains was dominant deformation mechanism of the Mg96Zn2Y2 extruded alloy at high temperature range.

The 7075 (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) aluminium alloy is the reference alloy for aerospace applications due to its specific mechanical properties at room temperature, showing excellent tensile strength and sufficient ductility. Formability at high temperature can be improved by obtaining superplasticity as a result of fine, equiaxed and highly misoriented grains prone to deform by grain boundary sliding (GBS). Different severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing routes such as ECAP, ARB, HPT and FSP have been considered and their effect on mechanical properties, especially at intermediate to high temperatures, are studied. Refined grains as fine as 100 nm and average misorientations as high as 39o allow attainment of high strain rate superplasticity (HSRSP) at lower than usual temperatures (250-300oC). It is shown that increasing misorientations are obtained with increasing applied strain, and increasing grain refinement is obtained with increasing processing stress. Thus, increasing superplastic strains at higher strain rates, lower stresses and lower temperatures are obtained with increasing processing strain and, specially, processing stress.

The dynamic recrystallization behavior of as-cast Ti-46.5Al-3Ta-2Cr-0.2W alloy during isothermal compression process with nominal deformation of 50% and strain rates from 0.01s to 1s was investigated by electron microscopy. The results showed that the deformation mechanism of this alloy can be concluded as grain boundary sliding and mechanical twins, which induce the final dynamic recrystallization. The phase boundary bulging was found to be the major nucleation mechanism responsible for the lamellar globularization and the formation of recrystallized γ grains inside the lamellar colony under the high strain rate. The recrystallized γ grains induced by the twinning is the main mechanism for refining α2 lamellar microstructures under low strain rate.

Compressive deformation behavior of pre-sintered Al-10Si-5Fe-1Cu-0.5Mg-1Zr (wt%) alloy containing 15% of porosity was investigated in the temperature range from 753 K to 793 K and at strain rates from 10-4 to 100 s-1. From the microstructural observation, it was revealed that the occurrence of grain boundary sliding accomodated by dynamic recrystallization during the compressive deformation was closely associated with the considerable decrease in the porosity of the pre-sintered alloy. In the specimens deformed at 793 K with 10-4~100 s-1 and at 773 K with 10- 4~10-2 s-1, we have found an evidence of the occurrence of a liquid phase during compressive deformation in the microstructure. The liquid phase was considered to promote particle boundary sliding and hinder the reduction of the pore.

Abstract The use of MoSi2 as a high temperature oxidation resistant structural material is hindered by its poor elevated temperature creep resistance. The addition of second phase Si3N4 holds promise for improving the creep properties of MoSi2 without decreasing oxidation resistance. The high temperature impression creep behavior of atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) and hot pressed (HP) MoSi2/Si3N4 composites was investigated. Values for steady state creep rates, creep activation energies, and creep stress exponents were measured. Grain boundary sliding and splat sliding were found to be the dominant creep mechanisms for the APS samples while grain boundary sliding and plastic deformation were found to be the dominant creep mechanisms for the HP samples.

The grain boundary sliding and the formation of slipped bands and cavitations during biaxial tensile deformation were examined in fine grained Al-Mg alloy. Biaxial tensile testing was conducted with cruciform specimens at initial strain rates of 10-4 to 101s-1. It was found that at the same equivalent strain conditions, the number of cavities under biaxial tension is significantly greater than that under uniaxial tension. A greater prevalence of slipped bands and grain separations were clearly observed under biaxial stress than under uniaxial stress. It was suggested that development of slipped bands resulted from the formation of elongated cavities and multiple deformed bands under biaxial stress. Additionally, the m-value under biaxial stress remained at about 0.3 over a wide range of strain rates. The effects of grain separation and formation of cavities were related to the motion of grain boundary sliding, grain size and loading conditions.

Tensile behaviors of extruded and rolled AZ80 Mg alloy were investigated with elongation-to-failure tensile tests at constant temperatures of 300 °C, 350 °C, 400 °C, and 450 °C, and constant strain rates of 10-2s-1and 10-3s-1. Experimental data show that the material exhibits tensile ductilities of over 100% at 400 °C and 450 °C, featured by long steady state deformation. Microstructure studies show that annealed coarse grains were remained in the gauge region during the tensile tests, and the enhanced tensile ductilities resulted from dislocation creep, other than dynamic recrystallization or grain boundary sliding. Cavity evolution and recrystallized coarse grains near fracture end caused premature failure of the material.
