AbstractUltra-fine microstructure consisting of equiaxed Al-grains and aluminide particulate was produced by powder metallurgy process using gas-atomized powders of Al-10wt%Ti-2wt%Fe alloy. High strain rate superplasticity (HSRS) has been investigated at 873-923K and strain rates higher than 10−3s−1 in tension, and total elongation up to 500% was observed at the strain-rate of 10−1s−1. The strain rate vs. flow stress behavior exhibits the typical aspect of HSRS such as the increase of strain-rate sensitivity exponent with increase in strain-rate and an apparent activation energy higher than that for lattice diffusion in aluminum. The concept of threshold stress has been incorporated to illustrate the HSRS behavior, where the stress exponent of 3 describes the experimental data. The determined threshold stress showed strong temperature dependency as in the case of a similarly processed Al-10wt%Ti alloy, which exhibited the stress exponent of 2 in the same testing conditions. Solute drag mechanism has been postulated for the Al-Ti-Fe alloy.

Intrinsic Strength

The strain rate sensitivity of a variety of materials is known to increase rapidly at strain rates exceeding ∼103 sec-1. This transition has most often in the past been attributed to a transition from thermally activated guide to viscous drag control. An important condition for imposition of dislocation drag effects is that the applied stress, σ, must be on the order of or greater than the threshold stress, which is the flow stress at OK. From Fig. 1, it can be seen for OFE Cu that the ratio of the applied stress to threshold stress remains constant even at strain rates as high as 104 sec-1 suggesting that there is not a mechanism transition but that the intrinsic strength is increasing, since the threshold strength is a mechanical measure of intrinsic strength. These measurements were made at constant strain levels of 0.2, wnich is not a guarantee of constant microstructure. The increase in threshold stress at higher strain rates is a strong indication that the microstructural evolution is a function of strain rate and that the dependence becomes stronger at high strain rates.

Inconel 690

The high strain shear rate behaviour of Inconel 690 alloy was investigated by using the split Hopkinson torsional bar. The shear strain rates were tested at 900 s−1, 1900 s−1, and 2600 s−1and at temperatures of −100°C, 25°C, and 300°C, respectively. It was found that the dynamic shear behaviour of Inconel 690 alloy was sensitive to strain rate and temperature. The fracture shear strain increased with increasing strain rate and temperature. In addition, the strain rate sensitivity was increased with increasing strain and strain rate but decreased with increasing temperature. Finally, the fracture surfaces were found to contain dimple-like features, and the dimple density increased with increasing strain rate and temperature.

This study investigated strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) in an as-extruded AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy with grain size of about 10 mm. Although the alloy shows negligible SRS at strain rates of >10-5 s-1 at room temperature, the exponent increased by one order from 0.008 to 0.06 with decrease of the strain rate down to 10-8 s-1. The activation volume (V) was evaluated as approximately 100b3 at high strain rates and as about 15b3 at low strain rates (where b is the Burgers vector). In addition, deformation twin was observed only at high strain rates. Because the twin nucleates at the grain boundary, stress concentration is necessary to be accommodated by dislocation absorption into the grain boundary at low strain rates. Extrinsic grain boundary dislocations move and engender grain boundary sliding (GBS) with low thermal assistance. Therefore, GBS enhances and engenders SRS in AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature.

Rate Behaviour

An investigation into the mechanical behaviour of iron and nickel at high strain rates is carried out, using a split Hopkinson bar method. Some special adaptations, a correction method for the effects arising from the adiabatic conditions of dynamic deformation and a simplified data processing procedure are described in detail. The test conditions covered a range of strain rates between 500 and about 10 000/s and temperatures from 20 to 500°C. For both metals, the results are presented by means of a family of true stress-true strain curves. The strong strain rate sensitivity at high strain rates indicates that the rate controlling mechanism differs from that operative at ‘static’ strain rates.

Ultrafine Grained

The mechanical behavior of an AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) was evaluated by tensile testing from room temperature up to 473 K at strain rates between 10-5 – 10-2 s-1. Samples tested at room temperature and at high strain rates at 373 K failed without any plastic deformation. However, significant ductility, with elongations larger than 200%, was observed at 423 K and 473 K and at low strain rates at 373 K. The high elongations are attributed to a pronounced strain hardening and a high strain rate sensitivity. The results agree with reports for a similar alloy processed by severe plastic deformation. However, the level of flow stress is lower and the strain rate sensitivity and the elongations are larger than observed in this alloy processed by conventional thermo-mechanical processing.

Strain Rate Change

Experimental results on the high strain rate response of polycrystalline metals are reviewed, with emphasis on the behavior of pure metals. A strong increase in flow stress with increasing strain rate is reported for strain rates of approximately 105s−1 and higher. This increase is observed in pressure-shear plate impact experiments at nominally constant strain rates from 105s−1 to 106s−1. To improve understanding of the increased rate sensitivity at high strain rates, pressure-shear, strain-rate-change experiments have been conducted on OFHC copper specimens. These experiments have been analyzed using a conventional viscoplasticity formulation and an internal variable formulation in which the hardening rate depends on the rate of deformation. Only the latter formulation is successful in describing the observed response to the change in strain rate. This observation is discussed in terms of its implications for interpreting other dynamic plasticity experiments and for improved understanding of the underlying dislocation mechanisms. The enhanced rate sensitivity at high strain rates is concluded to be related primarily to the rate sensitivity of strain hardening, not the rate sensitivity of the flow stress at constant structure.

The deformation characteristics of the WE54 magnesium alloy reinforced by 13% of SiC particles have been investigated in tension at elevated temperatures. Composite material was prepared by powder metallurgy technique. The strain rate sensitivity parameter m has been estimated by the abrupt strain rate changes (SRC) method. SRC tests and tensile tests with constant strain rate ( ) were performed at temperatures from 350 to 500 °C. Increased ductility has been found at high strain rates. The corresponding m value was 0.3. The activation energy Q has been estimated. Microstructure evolution has been observed by the light microscope and scanning electron microscope.

Superplastic forming (SPF) properties of TIMETAL54M (Ti-5Al-4V-0.6Mo-0.4Fe, or Ti-54M) sheet were investigated. A total elongation of Ti-54M exceeds 500% at temperatures between 750°C and 850°C at a strain rate of 10-3/S. Values of strain rate sensitivity (m-value) measured by jump strain rate tests are 0.45 ~0.6 in a temperature range of 730°C to 900°C at a strain arte of 5 x 10-4/S or 1 x 10-4/S. Flow stress of the alloy is 20 ~ 40% lower than that of Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) mill annealed sheet. The observation of microstructure after the tests revealed the indication of grain boundary sliding in a wide range of temperatures and strain rates.
