ABSTRACTThin foils of stoichiometric Ni3Al below 100 μm in thickness were successfully fabricated by cold rolling of the sheets which were sectioned from directionally solidified ingots. Maximum rolling reduction in thickness amounted to 96%, irrespective of the initial orientation or the existence of columnar grains in the starting sheets. The as-rolled foils were characterized in terms of microstructures, textures and dislocation structures. The deformation microstructures were of a dual banded structure composed of two different {110} textures in the case of <001> rolling direction, while a rather homogeneous structure with a single {110} texture resulted in the case of <112> rolling direction. TEM observation revealed homogenous dislocation structures in either case without cell formation, accompanied by very fine grained-regions at higher reduction.

Initial Crystal

We have studied the texture and microstructure evolution during cold rolling of Ni3Al single crystals as a function of the initial crystal orientations and revealed that the cold rolling behavior of the single crystals are strongly dependent on the initial crystal orientations, especially on the initial rolling direction (RD). An optimum condition for thin foil fabrication is determined that the initial RD is close to <001>. According to the conditions we have successfully fabricated the wide and thin foils of binary Ni3Al by cold rolling the single crystalline ingots. The thinnest foils obtained so far are about 20µm in thickness and 50mm in width. This document reviews the current status of our research on the thin foils of intermetallic compound Ni3Al.

Cold Rolling Reduction

The effect of cold rolling reduction on shear band formation and crystal orientation within shear bands and annealing texture were investigated in Fe-3%Si {111}<112> single crystals. Several types of shear bands were observed with different angles to rolling direction, dependent on rolling reduction. As for shear band formation, those with smaller angles were formed earlier and those with larger angles were formed later. Regarding crystal orientation along shear bands after rolling reduction, orientation distribution from the initial became large in accordance with reduction and even exceeded Goss orientation when rolling reduction became larger than 40%. After annealing, however, recrystallized grains along shear bands were mainly Goss grains regardless of reduction. The speculated reason for the dominance of Goss after annealing is that Goss subgrains with less density of dislocations were surrounded by largely deformed areas.

Anisotropy Index

The effects of coiling temperature and cold rolling reduction on planar anisotropy of Ti-alloyed low carbon steel were investigated. The results show that as the coiling temperature increases from 509°C to 633°C, the strength and elongation have little change, and the planar anisotropy trends to decrease. When coiling at 580°C to 640°C, the value of planar anisotropy index (△r) can be reduced to no more than 0.15. As the total cold rolling reduction increasing from 55% to 85%, the plastic strain ratio values (r-values) perpendicular to rolling direction increase firstly, then decrease; the change regulation of rolling direction is reverse, and the values of 45°direction nearly have no change. And the planar anisotropy can reach 0.07 as cold rolling at 75%.

Severe cold rolling and short intercritcal annealing is often used to produce ultra-fine grained ferrite and martensite dual phase steels. In this paper, microstructure and texture of Nb-microalloyed steel following cold rolling and short intercritical annealing is investigated. The results show that cold rolling and annealing resulted in ultra-fine grained dual phase steel consisted of polygonal ferrite in the range of ~1-2 μm in size. In cold rolled material, the texture components are γ fiber (//normal direction) and α fiber (//rolling direction). Partial recrystallization texture was observed following intercritical annealing.

In the present study, the effect of cold-rolling for the amount of reduction in thickness ranging from 25% to 75% on microstructure and mechanical properties of plain low carbon steel processed from dual-phase ferrite-martensite starting microstructure was studied. As the cold-rolling, the microstructure elongated to rolling direction and more compressed with increasing the rolling reduction and strength also increased. After annealing at warm temperature 500°C, the ultrafine grained was obtained in the 75% rolling reduction. Moreover, it was exhibited excellent strength of 82% and hardness of 66.1% higher than as-received condition with adequate uniform elongation 9.6%.

The regularities of static recrystallization in an Fe-0.3C-17Mn-1.5Al TWIP steel subjected to cold rolling and annealing were studied. The cold rolling led to noticeable increase in the dislocation density, extensive mechanical twinning and shear banding. The subsequent annealing resulted in the development of recovered or recrystallized microstructure depending on the rolling reduction and the annealing temperature. An increase in the rolling reduction promoted the recrystallization development, which led to ultrafine-grained microstructure with a grain size below 10 μm. The developed ultrafine-grained steel samples are characterized by beneficial mechanical properties.

Intensity Ratios

Cliff and Lorimer (1) have proposed a simple approach to thin foil x-ray analy sis based on the ratio of x-ray peak intensities. However, there are several experimental pitfalls which must be recognized in obtaining the desired x-ray intensities. Undesirable x-ray induced fluorescence of the specimen can result from various mechanisms and leads to x-ray intensities not characteristic of electron excitation and further results in incorrect intensity ratios.In measuring the x-ray intensity ratio for NiAl as a function of foil thickness, Zaluzec and Fraser (2) found the ratio was not constant for thicknesses where absorption could be neglected. They demonstrated that this effect originated from x-ray induced fluorescence by blocking the beam with lead foil. The primary x-rays arise in the illumination system and result in varying intensity ratios and a finite x-ray spectrum even when the specimen is not intercepting the electron beam, an ‘in-hole’ spectrum. We have developed a second technique for detecting x-ray induced fluorescence based on the magnitude of the ‘in-hole’ spectrum with different filament emission currents and condenser apertures.

Thin Foils

Thermal aging of Ni-12.8 at. % A1 and Ni-12.7 at. % Si produces spatially homogeneous dispersions of cuboidal γ'-Ni3Al or Ni3Si precipitate particles arrayed in the Ni solid solution. We have used 3.5-MeV 58Ni+ ion irradiation to examine the effect of irradiation during precipitation on precipitate morphology and distribution. The nearness of free surfaces produced unusual morphologies in foils thinned prior to irradiation. These thin-foil effects will be important during in-situ investigations of precipitation in the HVEM. The thin foil results can be interpreted in terms of observations from bulk irradiations which are described first.Figure 1a is a dark field image of the γ' precipitate 5000 Å beneath the surface(∿1200 Å short of peak damage) of the Ni-Al alloy irradiated in bulk form. The inhomogeneous spatial distribution of γ' results from the presence of voids and dislocation loops which can be seen in the bright field image of the same area, Fig. 1b.

Second Phases

The oxidation of natural olivine has previously been performed on bulk samples and the reactions followed by preparation of TEM specimens from the annealed material. These results show that below ∼1000°C hematite and amorphous silica are formed, particularly around dislocations. At higher temperatures magnetite and some enstatite-like phase are formed. In both cases the olivine is left almost totally Fe depleted. By performing the oxidation on characterized thin TEM specimens it is possible to obtain more information on the nucleation and growth of the second phases formed. The conditions in a thin foil, however, are very different from those in the bulk especially with regard to surface effects. The nucleation of precipitates in particular may be expected to occur differently in these thin foils than in the bulk.TEM specimens of natural olivine (approximate composition Mg+Fe+Si2o4) which had been annealed at 1000°C for 1 hr were prepared by mechanical polishing and dimpling, followed by Ar ion milling to perforation. The specimens were characterized in the electron microscope and then heated in air in alumina boats to 900°C for between 30 and 180 minutes.

The Stability

The Al6Li3Cu (T2) phase, which exhibits five-fold or icosahedral symmetry, forms through solid state precipitation in dilute Al-Li-Cu alloys. Recent studies have reported that the T2 phase transforms either during TEM examination of thin foils or following ion-milling of thin foil specimens. Related studies have shown that T2 phase transforms to a microcrystalline array of the TB phase and a dilute aluminum solid solution during in-situ heating in the TEM. The purpose of this paper is to report results from an investigation of the influence of ion-milling on the stability of the T2 phase in dilute Al-Li-Cu alloy.The 3-mm diameter TEM disc specimens were prepared from a specially melted Al-2.5%Li-2.5%Cu alloy produced by conventional procedures. The TEM specimens were solution heat treated 1 h at 550°C and aged 1000 h at 190°C in air to develop the microstructure. The disc specimens were electropolished to achieve electron transparency using a 20:80 (vol. percent) nitric acid: methanol solution at -60°C.
