AbstractThis paper examines grain boundary sliding under the conditions of plastic strain incompatibility that is the most frequent case in polycrystalline materials. Two components of grain boundary sliding: dependent and independent on intragranular slip are distinguished. Theoretical estimate of a ratio between slip induced sliding and intragranular slip is obtained. It is concluded that slip and sliding are rather independent than interrelated processes.

Ultrahigh carbon steel containing 1.6 wt pct C was processed to create microduplex structure consisting of fine-spheroidized carbides and fine ferrite grains. Elongation-to-failure tests were conducted at strain rates from 10-4s-1 to 15×10-4s-1, and at temperatures from 600 °C to 850 °C. The steel exhibited superplasticity at and above 700 °C when testing at a strain rate of 10-4s-1, and at 800 °C when testing at strain rates of 7×10-4s-1 and slower. The grains retained the equiaxed shape and initial size during deformation; dynamic grain growth was not observed after superplastic deformation, whereas carbide coarsening was observed. It is concluded that the fine ferrite grains or austensite grains are stabilized by the grain boundary carbides, and grain-boundary sliding controlled by grain boundary diffusion is the principal superplastic deformation mechanism at temperatures in the range of 700-850 °C.

Texture change during superplastic deformation was examined and compared in two magnesium alloys with different chemical composition. These alloys were extruded to refine the microstructure. The pre-existing basal texture of both alloys became slightly more random within the bulk probably owing to grain boundary sliding and the accompanying grain rotation. However, the texture changes differed between tensile and compressive deformation along the extrusion (longitudinal) direction. This fact suggests that dislocation slip is important in superplastic deformation. It was concluded that dislocation slip acts primarily as an accommodation mechanism for grain boundary sliding.
