In the present work, the localized features of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) of our recently designed damage tolerance α+β dual-phase Ti alloy are investigated by the integration of electron backscattering diffraction and experimental and theoretical Schmid factor analysis. At the strain rate of 1.8 × 104 s−1 induced by a split Hopkinson pressure bar, the shear stress reaches a maximum of 1951 MPa with the shear strain of 1.27. It is found that the α+β dual-phase colony structures mediate the extensive plastic deformations along α/β phase boundaries, contributing to the formations of ASBs, microvoids, and cracks, and resulting in stable and unstable softening behaviors. Moreover, the dynamic recrystallization yields the dispersion of a great amount of fine α grains along the shearing paths and in the ASBs, promoting the softening and shear localization. On the contrary, low-angle grain boundaries present good resistance to the formation of cracks and the thermal softening, while the non-basal slipping dramatically contributes to the strain hardening, supporting the promising approaches to fabricate the advanced damage tolerance dual-phase Ti alloy.

Twinning System

Twinning behaviors in grains during cold rolling have been systematically studied in preparing ultra-thin grain-oriented silicon steel (UTGO) using a commercial glassless grain-oriented silicon steel as raw material. It is found that the twinning system with the maximum Schmid factor and shear mechanical work would be activated. The area fraction of twins increased with the cold rolling reduction. The orientations of twins mainly appeared to be α-fiber (<110>//RD), most of which were {001}<110> orientation. Analysis via combining deformation orientation simulation and twinning orientation calculation suggested that {001}<110> oriented twinning occurred at 40–50% rolling reduction. The simulation also confirmed more {100} <011> oriented twins would be produced in the cold rolling process and their orientation also showed less deviation from ideal {001}<110> orientation when a raw material with a higher content of exact Goss oriented grains was used.

Abstract Ni-based superalloys with excellent high temperature strength have been used in advanced thermal power plants. It was found that grain boundary cracking is caused in the alloy under creep-fatigue loading due to the degradation of the crystallinity of grain boundaries and the grain boundary cracking degrades the lifetime of the alloy drastically. In order to clarify the mechanism of intergranular cracking, in this research, static and dynamic strains were applied to a bicrystal structure of the alloy perpendicularly to the grain boundary using molecular dynamics analysis. In addition, the effect of the accumulation of vacancies in the area with high-density of dislocations on the strength of the bicrystal structure was analysed. It was found that the fracture mode of the bicrystal structure changed from ductile transgranular fracture to brittle intergranular one as strong functions of the combination of Schmid factor of the two grains and the density of defects around the grain boundary. The local heavy plastic deformation occurred around the grain boundary with large difference in Schmid factor between nearby grains and the diffusion of the newly grown dislocations and vacancies was suppressed by the large strain field due to the large mismatch of the crystallographic orientation between the grains. The accumulation of vacancies accelerated the local plastic deformation around the grain boundary. Therefore, the mechanism of the acceleration of intergranular cracking under creep-fatigue loading was successfully clarified by MD analysis.

Yield Point Phenomenon

Czochralski silicon single crystals were deformed in tensile tests along the direction at between 1173 K and 1373. Yield point phenomenon were observed in the specimens deformed at below 1273 K while continues yield was observed in the specimens deformed at above 1323 K. It is due to the effect of dislocation starvation in the used crystals. Work-hardening rates in stage II were consistent with those reported in fcc crystals such as copper. The onset of stage II was found to be active before the Schmid factor of the second slip system becomes larger than that of the primary slip system. Electron backscattered diffraction images indicated clear kink bands near grips and in the parallel portion. The kink bands were formed at the middle of stage I, which suggest that the formation of kink bands is a trigger of stage II.

Ce Content

Forming magnesium alloys with rare earth elements (La, Gd, Nd, Y, Ce) is a routine method for modifying their microstructure and properties. In the present work, the effect of Ce addition on the microstructure evolution and the mechanical properties of as-extruded Mg-8Al-0.5Zn (AZ80) alloy was investigated. All of the extruded AZ80-xCe (x = 0, 0.2, 0.8 and 1.4 wt %) alloys exhibited equiaxed grains formed by fully dynamic recrystallization, and the grain size of the extruded AZ80 alloy was remarkably reduced by ~56.7% with the addition of 1.4 wt % Ce. Furthermore, the bulk-shaped Al4Ce phase formed when Ce was first added, with the Ce content rising to 0.8 wt % or higher, and Al4Ce particles in both the nano- and micron sizees were well distributed in the primary α-Mg matrix. The area fraction of the Al4Ce particles expanded with increasing Ce content, providing more nuclei for dynamic recrystallization, which could contribute to the grain refinement. The results of the tensile tests in this study showed that Ce addition effectively improved the room temperature formability of the as-extruded AZ80 alloy, without sacrificing strength. The significantly improved mechanical properties were ascribed to excellent grain refinement, weakened texture strength, an increased Schmid factor, and a reduced area fraction of low-angle grain boundaries, all resulting from Ce addition to the as-extruded AZ80 alloy. The contribution of the nano-Al4Ce precipitates on improving the mechanical properties was also discussed in this paper.
