ABSTRACTEffects of ternary additions on the deformation behavior of single crystals of MoSi2 with the hard [001] and soft [0 15 1] orientations have been investigated in compression and compression creep. The alloying elements studied include V, Cr, Nb and Al that form a C40 disilicide with Si and W and Re that form a C11b disilicide with Si. The addition of Al is found to decrease the yield strength of MoSi2 at all temperatures while the additions of V, Cr and Nb are found to decrease the yield strength at low temperatures and to increase the yield strength at high temperatures. In contrast, the additions of W and Re are found to increase the yield strength at all temperatures. The creep strain rate for the [001] orientation is significantly lower than that for the [0 15 1] orientation. The creep strain rate for both orientations is significantly improved by alloying with ternary elements such as Re and Nb.

Plastic deformation behavior of Ni3V with D022 structure was examined using the single crystals containing two dominant variants of three. At [557] loading orientation, {111}1/6<112] twinning is dominantly operative at low temperatures, but {111}1/2<112] slip is activated at high temperatures accompanied by a rapid drop of yield stress.

AbstractPlastic deformation behavior of Ni3V with D022 structure was examined using the single crystals containing two dominant variants of three. Three deformation modes were confirmed to be operative depending on temperature and loading orientation. {111}1/6<112] twinning and/or {111}<110] slip is dominantly operative at low temperatures, but {111}1/2<112] slip is activated at high temperatures accompanied by a rapid drop of yield stress.

Fluid flow and fluid-rock interaction mainly take place in fracture network, consequently resulting in deformation and permeability variation of rock and deterioration of the wellbore performance. Mechanical-reactive flow coupling creep tests are performed on cracked granite under various confining pressures and acid and alkaline solution flows. The testing results show that the confining pressure and solution pH significantly influence the creep deformation, creep strain rate, and permeability. A primary creep stage and secondary creep stage are observed in all creep tests in this study; notably, the sample under a confining pressure of 10 MPa and acid solution injection undergoes creep failure for over 2700 hours. The acid solution has a more obvious influence on the creep behavior than that of the alkaline solution. With an increase in confining pressure, the total creep strain and creep strain rate in the samples gradually decrease during the injection of either solution. The permeability of the samples injected with either solution gradually deceases during the testing process, and this deceasing rate increases with the confining pressure. The scanning electron microscopy observations on the crack surfaces after the creep tests show that the surfaces of the fractures injected with the acid solution are smooth due to the dissolution of the matrix, while those injected with the alkaline solution include voids due to the dissolution of quartz. These experimental results could improve the understanding of the long-term transport and mechanical behaviors of wellbore.

ABSTRACTThe stability of single-crystalline icosahedral Cd-Yb was investigated using X-ray diffraction methods in the temperature range 20 K ≤ T ≤ 900 K at ambient pressure and from ambient temperature to 873 K at about 9 GPa. Single-crystals remain stable at low temperatures and in the investigated HP-HT-regime. At high temperatures and ambient pressure, the quasicrystal decomposes. The application of mechanical stress at low temperatures yields to the same decomposition, the formation of Cd. A reaction of icosahedral Cd-Yb with traces of oxygen or water causing the decomposition seems reasonable, but a low-temperature instability of this binary quasi-crystal cannot be ruled out totally.

Grade 91 is widely used for steam pipes and tubes in high temperature boilers of ultra-super critical power plants in Japan. It was reported that creep damage may initiate at the fine grain region within the heat affected zone (HAZ) in welded joints prior to the base metal, so called “Type IV” damage, which causes steam leakage in existing power plants. Therefore, development of creep damage assessment methods is not only an important but also an urgent subject to maintain operation reliability. In order to evaluate creep damage of welded joints based on finite element analyses, creep deformation properties of a base metal, a weld metal and a HAZ have to be obtained from creep tests. However, it is difficult to cut a standard size creep specimen from the HAZ region. Only a miniature size specimen is available from the narrow HAZ region. Therefore, development of creep testing and evaluation technique for miniature size specimens is highly expected. In this study, a miniature tensile type solid bar specimen with 1mm diameter was machined from a base metal, a weld metal and a HAZ of a new and a used Grade 91 welded joints, and creep tests of these miniature specimens were conducted by using a special developed creep testing machine. It was found that creep deformation property is almost identical between the base metal and weld metal, and creep strain rate of the HAZ is much faster than that of these metals in the new welded joint. Relationships between stress and creep strain rates of the base metal and the HAZ in the used welded joint are within scatter bands of those in the new material. On the other hand, creep strain rate of the weld metal in the used welded joint became much faster than that in the new one. Then both the standard size and the miniature size cross weld specimens were machined from the new and the used welded joints and were tested under the same temperature and stress conditions. Rupture time of the miniature cross weld specimen is much shorter than that of the standard size cross weld specimen. The finite element creep analysis of the specimens indicates that higher triaxiality stress yields within the HAZ of the standard size specimen than that of the miniature specimen causing faster creep strain rate in the HAZ of the miniature cross weld specimen.


The mechanical properties of pure iron single crystals and of polycrystalline specimens of a zone-refined iron have been measured in compression over the temperature and strain rate ranges 2.2 to 293 °K and 7 x 10 -7 to 7 x 10 -3 s -1 respectively. Various yield stress parameters were determined as functions of both temperature and strain rate, and the reversible changes in flow stress produced by isothermal changes of strain rate or by changes of temperature at constant strain rate were also measured as functions of temperature, strain and strain rate. Both the temperature variation of the flow stress and the strain rate sensitivity of the flow stress were generally identical for the single crystals ( ca. 0.005/M carbon) and the polycrystalline specimens ( ca. 9/M carbon). At low temperatures, the temperature dependence of the yield stress was smaller than that of the flow stress at high strains, probably because of the effects of mechanical twinning, but once again the behaviour of single and polycrystalline specimens was very similar. Below 10 °K, both the flow stress and the extrapolated yield stress were independent of temperature. The results show that macroscopic yielding and flow at low temperatures are both governed by the same deformation mechanism, which is not very impurity sensitive, even in the very low carbon range covered by the experiments. The flow stress near 0 °K is ca. 5.8 x 10 -3 u where [i is the shear modulus. On the basis of a model for thermally activated flow, the activation volume at low temperatures (high stresses) is found to be ca. 5 b 3 . The exponent in the empirical power law for the dislocation velocity against stress relation is ca. 3 near room temperature, but becomes quite large at low temperatures. The results indicate that macroscopic deformation at low temperatures is governed by some kind of lattice frictional stress (Peierls-Nabarro force) acting on dislocations.

In the present study, nanoindentation studies of the 95.8 Sn -3.5 Ag -0.7 Cu lead-free solder were conducted over a range of maximum loads from 20 mN to 100 mN, under a constant ramp rate of 0.05 s-1. The indentation scale dependence of creep behavior was investigated. The results revealed that the creep rate, creep strain rate and indentation stress are all dependent on the indentation depth. As the maximum load increased, an increasing trend in the creep rate was observed, while a decreasing trend in creep strain rate and indentation stress were observed. On the contrary, for the case of stress exponent value, no trend was observed and the values were found to range from 6.16 to 7.38. Furthermore, the experimental results also showed that the creep mechanism of the lead-free solder is dominated by dislocation climb.
