ABSTRACTThree single crystal plates of γ/γ' Ni-Al two-phase alloys with near cube, Goss and intermediate orientations between cube and Goss were cold-rolled to 300 μm-thick foils with 83% reduction. Tensile tests of the foils were performed at room temperature to study the effect of rolling microstructures and textures on the mechanical properties. The fracture strength of all the foils was very high, 1.4–1.7 GPa, having a small initial normal direction (ND) dependence and a small difference between rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD). The foils fabricated from initial cube and intermediate orientations showed necking and a small fracture elongation when tensile-tested along RD, while the foil fabricated from initial Goss orientation did not show necking and fracture elongation. All the foils showed small fracture elongations due to shear band formation when tensile-tested along TD.

As part of an on-going study of 1100 Al at large plastic strains, we have examined cold-rolled samples from three orientations; through the sheet surface, and in the thickness direction along the rolling direction (RD) and transverse to the RD. Cell and subgrain sizes were determined in the same manner as for the earlier work.The starting plates of 1100 Al were annealed at 500 C and then rolled at room temperature to various thicknesses. These rolled plates were used to produce final samples rolled to 0.5 mm thickness with 62, 80, and 90% reductions. Thin foils were produced by lapping and jet electropolishing. A method was developed to make thin foils perpendicular to the sheet by lapping small pieces of sheet (1 mm wide) edgewise from both edges. This produces sheet 0.25 mm thick by 0.5 mm wide which were mounted between two 0.25-mm-thick 1100 Al disks 3 mm in dia. These disks had been slitted in the center to have slits ≪ 0.5 mm wide.

Nb and/or Cr added Ni3(Si,Ti) as well as unalloyed Ni3(Si,Ti) intermetallic thin foils (i.e., Ni3(Si,Ti), Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb, Ni3(Si,Ti)+Cr and Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb,Cr) were fabricated from arc-melted polycrystalline ingots by thermomechanical process and subsequent heavy cold-rolling. Tensile property at room temperature as well as at high temperature and oxidization behavior of the cold-rolled foils with a thickness of ~200μm were investigated. The Ni3(Si,Ti) and Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb alloys showed a single-phase microstructure consisting of L12 phase, while the Ni3(Si,Ti)+Cr and Ni3(Si,Ti)+Nb,Cr alloys exhibited a two-phase microstructure with A1 (fcc) Ni solid solution phase within the L12 grains. All the cold-rolled foils showed high tensile strength (over 2GPa) at room temperature although no plastic elongation was observed. The addition of Nb and/or Cr slightly enhanced the room-temperature tensile strength of the Ni3(Si,Ti) alloy. On the other hand, the addition of Nb and/or Cr prominently enhanced high-temperature tensile strength as well as oxidization resistance, while the addition of Cr improved high-temperature elongation.

This work examined the effects of Li content on the strain-hardening behaviors of three varieties of Mg−Li−Zn alloys containing approximately 6 wt%, 9 wt%, and 10 wt% of Li. Tensile tests were carried out on specimens in the directions of 0, 45 and 90° to the rolling direction. Kocks–Mecking type plots were constructed to illustrate different stages of strain-hardening. The cold-rolled Mg−6Li−1Zn (designated as LZ61) alloy sheet showed stage II and stage III strain-hardening behaviors at room temperature. The specimens of Mg−9Li−1Zn (designated as LZ91) and Mg−10Li−1Zn (designated as LZ101) alloy sheets did not show stage II strain-hardening. Higher initial strain-hardening rates were observed in the 90° direction for these alloys as a result of the cold-rolled fibrous structure affording stronger barriers to dislocation movements in this direction.

The use of Cu and Ti in Zn alloys improves mechanical properties as solid solution and dispersoid particles (grain refiners) may harden the material and reduce creep deformation. This is one of the main design problems for parts made with Zn alloys, even at room temperature. In this work the mechanical behavior of a Zn-Cu-Ti low alloy is presented using tensile tests at different strain rates, as well as creep tests at different loads to obtain the value of the strain rate coefficient m in samples parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction of the Zn strip. The microstructure of the alloy in its raw state, as well as heat treated at 250°C, is also analyzed, as the banded structure produced by rolling influences the strengthening mechanisms that can be achieved through the treatment parameters.

As-received hot-rolled 5.6 mm thick IF steel sheet was symmetrically/asymmetrically cold rolled at room temperature down to 1.9 mm. The asymmetric rolling was carried out in monotonic (an idle roll is always on the same side of the sheet) and reversal (the sheet was turned 180º around the rolling direction between passes) modes. Microstructure, texture and mechanical properties were analysed. The observed differences in structure and mechanical properties were modest, and therefore further investigation of the effects of other kinds of asymmetry is suggested.

The study about the influence of intercritical annealing time on a cold rolled 0.1%C – 4.6%Mn (wt.%) steel was performed. The tensile tests show an interesting balance between strength and ductility especially after 7 hours annealing at 670°C. A part of this good result can be explained by the presence of rather high fraction of metastable austenite at room temperature. On the other hand a very complex microstructure combining lath-like and polygonal features was observed making the interpretation complicated.

AbstractThe dislocation configurations produced by room and high temperature compression of <100> oriented single crystals of binary NiAl and in those containing iron and hafnium additions have been analysed and compared to those obtained by hardness indentation and TEM insitu tensile tests. Kinking occurs during room temperature compression such that <100> dislocations are activated in all cases but the iron-containing alloy also exhibited a large density of <111> screw dislocations. The latter however, appear immobile when they are created by hardness indentations of thin foils, while only pile-ups of <100> segments can propagate. Similarly, although different slip systems are present after high temperature compression, only <100> dislocation segments have been confirmed to be mobile after room temperature hardness indentation of these predeformed thin foils. The improvement in ductility observed at room temperature in the predeformed specimens of the binary and the iron containing alloys has been attributed to the increased production of these mobile <100> dislocations.

Fine carbide particles form in quenched-and-aged specimens of iron containing a small amount of carbon. Similar precipitation occurs in ferrite grains within dual-phase steels. The particles have been described as discs or loops, typically about 20 run in diameter and 2 nm thick, which lie on ﹛100﹜ planes within ferrite grains. The precipitates are believed to form in association with vacancies and produce increases in hardness and yield strength. Two studies showed that these features disappeared after heating specimens in the transmission electron microscope (TEM), and this note reports further on this phenomenon.Continuously annealed and cold-rolled sheet steel (provided by Inland Steel Company) contained (in wt pet) 0.087 C, 0.97 Mn, 0.27 Si, 0.034 Al, 0.008 S, and 0.005 N. Specimens were intercritically annealed at 770°C for five minutes and quenched in iced water. Tensile testing was conducted within one day of heat treatment, and then specimens were stored at room temperature for about six months. Thin foils were produced by conventional thinning methods and jet polished at 75 V and 80 mA in an electrolyte containing 95% acetic acid and 5% perchloric acid. Specimens were examined in a Philips EM400 operated at 120 kV.

AbstractThe twinning and slip modes of a rolled magnesium alloy sheet were investigated through quasi-in-situ tensile tests that were carried out along the rolling direction at room temperature with a constant strain rate. Scanning electron microscopy and electron backscattered diffraction observations were used to identify activated twinning and slip systems. Schmid factors were calculated to analyze different deformation modes. The analyses show that a small number of {10-12} tensile twins were present during deformation, and these twins resulted from the accommodation of compression along the tensile direction. Post-deformation examination revealed the dominance of prismatic <a> slip.

ABSTRACTOur recent studies revealed that heavily cold-rolled Ni3Al foils have a good bending ductility in spite of almost no elongation in tensile test. In this paper, bending characteristics of 95% cold-rolled foils around transverse and rolling directions (TD and RD, respectively) were examined to understand the bending mechanism. Fracture elongation on the tension surface shows a large bending anisotropy: 5 % for the TD bending, while less than 1% for the RD bending. The bending ductility is due to {111}<110> slip deformation. In the TD bending, slip occurs on the slip systems operated during cold rolling, and cracks initiate along the shear bands. In the RD bending, slip occurs on the other {111} planes besides the slip planes operated during cold rolling, and fracture occurs as a result of the dislocation interaction in the both planes.
