The effect of high pressure torsion (HPT) at elevated temperatures of 230 and 280°C on the microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Al-0.4Zr alloy was studied. The initial UFG structure in the material of the study was preliminarily formed by HPT-processing at room temperature. It was shown that the additional deformation of the UFG Al-0.4Zr alloy at elevated temperatures leads to a simultaneous significant increase in strength from 140 to 230-280 MPa and electrical conductivity from ~ 47.5% to 52-54% IACS. The obtained results are compared with the effect of annealing at the same temperatures on the microstructure and properties of the UFG Al-0.4Zr alloy. It was found that, compared with annealing, severe plastic deformation at the same temperature leads to more efficient formation of nanoscale precipitates of the Al3Zr secondary phase and, consequently, to a larger decrease in the Zr concentration in the solid solution, which provides a significant increase in electrical conductivity. Based on the obtained microstructural parameters, the contributions of various hardening mechanisms to the total hardening and electron scattering mechanisms to electrical resistivity are estimated. Comparison of the theoretical estimates with the experimental results indicates that the hardening in the UFG structure of the Al-0.4Zr alloy caused by additional SPD at elevated temperatures cannot be described only by the action of hardening mechanisms traditional for UFG materials. Possible reasons for the colossal hardening obtained are discussed.

Microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity in Cu-0.73%Cr alloy after HPT process and the subsequent aging treatment have been investigated. Ultrafine grained structure with the grain size ~150 nm has been achieved after the HPT and the subsequent aging treatment. Ultrafine grains with some growth twins were preserved in the overaged state, showing high thermal stability. The peak microhardness and tensile strength of Cu-0.73%Cr alloy after the HPT was found at 480 °C for 2 hours. Electrical conductivity shows an increase trend in the different aging states.

Ultrafine-grained treatment (multiple forging and heat treatment) were carried out on FGH4096 alloy to get ultrafine grain with grain being of 1-5μm. OM, SEM, TEM and tensile test were used to study the action of ultrafine-grained treatment on improving structure and properties. The tensile properties of the alloy processed under ultrafine-grained treated have shown quite satisfactory levels, which ultimate strength (UTS) reach 1730Mpa and yield strength (YS) values reach 1470Mpa at room temperature. The apperance of advanced strength has originated chiefly form not only the persence of fine grains, but also structure of grain boundaries and diaperce pricipitations of secondary phase. A better combination of mechanical properties achieved by use of ultrafine-grained treatment makes it possible to explore the dual property turbine disc to its maximum potential for FGH 4096 alloy.

The bulk ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials usually show superior mechanical properties. Since the occurrence of superplastic flow generally requires a grain size smaller than ~10 μm, it is anticipated that materials processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) will exhibit superplastic ductilities when pulled in tension at elevated temperatures. Recent advances in the processing of UFG metals have provided an opportunity to extend the understanding of superplastic flow behavior to include UFG materials with submicrometer grain sizes. Recent studies showed the UFG materials demonstrated the development of plasticity in micro-mechanical response at room temperature by the significant changes in microstructure attributed to high-pressure torsion (HPT). Accordingly, this study summarizes recent results on excellent ductility and plasticity in a UFG Zn-22% Al alloy. Specifically, the alloy demonstrated the occurrence of exceptional superplastic flow at high temperature after equal-channel angular pressing and HPT and excellent room temperature plasticity of the alloy after HPT where the plasticity was evaluated by the nanoindentation technique. The significance of purity of the alloy is also considered for enhancing the ductility at room temperature.

The present paper describes research on the mechanical properties and related dislocation structure of CdTe, a II-VI semiconductor compound with a wide range of uses in electrical and optical devices. At room temperature CdTe exhibits little plasticity and at the same time relatively low strength and hardness. The mechanical behavior of CdTe was examined at elevated temperatures with the goal of understanding plastic flow in this material and eventually improving the room temperature properties. Several samples of single crystal CdTe of identical size and crystallographic orientation were deformed in compression at 300°C to various levels of total strain. A resolved shear stress vs. compressive glide strain curve (Figure la) was derived from the results of the tests and the knowledge of the sample orientation.

It is often necessary to assess the effect of aging at room temperature over years/decades for hardware containing elastomeric components such as oring seals or shock isolators. In order to determine this effect, accelerated oven aging at elevated temperatures is pursued. When doing so, it is vital that the degradation mechanism still be representative of that prevalent at room temperature. This places an upper limit on the elevated oven temperature, which in turn, increases the dwell time in the oven. As a result, the oven dwell time can run into months, if not years, something that is not realistically feasible due to resource/schedule constraints in industry. Measuring activation energy (Ea) of elastomer aging by test methods such as tensile strength or elongation, compression set, modulus, oxygen consumption, etc. is expensive and time consuming. Use of kinetics of weight loss by ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA) using the Ozawa/Flynn/Wall method per ASTM E1641 is an attractive option (especially due to the availability of commercial instrumentation with software to make the required measurements and calculations) and is widely used. There is no fundamental scientific reason why the kinetics of weight loss at elevated temperatures should correlate to the kinetics of loss of mechanical properties over years/decades at room temperature. Ea obtained by high temperature weight loss is almost always significantly higher than that obtained by measurements of mechanical properties or oxygen consumption over extended periods at much lower temperatures. In this paper, data on five different elastomer types (butyl, nitrile, EPDM, polychloroprene and fluorocarbon) are presented to prove that point. Thus, use of Ea determined by weight loss by TGA tends to give unrealistically high values, which in turn, will lead to incorrectly high predictions of storage life at room temperature.

Investigations of mechanical properties of nanocrystalline (nc) materials are still in interest of materials science, because they offer wide application as structural materials thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties. NC materials demonstrate superior hardness and strength as compared with their coarse grained counterparts, but very often they possess a limited ductility or show low uniform elongation due to poor strain hardening ability. Here, we present the results of investigation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of nc Pd and Pd-x%Ag (x=20, 60) alloys. The initially coarse grained Pd-x% Ag samples were processed by high pressure torsion, which resulted in formation of homogenous ultrafine grain structure. The increase of Ag contents led to the decrease of the resulted grain size and change in deformation behavior, because of decreasing of stacking fault energy (SFE). The samples with larger Ag contents demonstrated the higher values of hardness, yield stress and ultimate stress. Remarkably the uniform elongation had also increased with increase of strength.

The mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained metals processed by equal channel angular pressing is investigated by nanoindentations in comparison with measurements on nanocrystalline nickel with a grain size between 20 and 400 nm produced by pulsed electrodeposition. Besides hardness and Young’s modulus measurements, the nanoindentation method allows also controlled experiments on the strain rate sensitivity, which are discussed in detail in this paper. Nanoindentation measurements can be performed at indentation strain rates between 10-3 s-1 and 0.1 s-1. Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained fcc metals as Al and Ni show a significant strain rate sensitivity at room temperature in comparison with conventional grain sized materials. In ultrafine-grained bcc Fe the strain rate sensitivity does not change significantly after severe plastic deformation. Inelastic effects are found during repeated unloading-loading experiments in nanoindentations.

Unfolding the structure–property linkages between the mechanical performance and microstructural characteristics could be an attractive pathway to develop new single- and polycrystalline Al-based alloys to achieve ambitious high strength and fuel economy goals. A lot of polycrystalline as-cast Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy systems fabricated by conventional casting techniques have been reported to date. However, no one has reported a comparison of mechanical and microstructural properties that simultaneously incorporates the effects of both alloy chemistry and mechanical testing environments for the as-cast Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloy systems. This preliminary prospective paper presents the examined experimental results of two alloys (denoted Alloy 1 and Alloy 2), with constant Cu content of ~3 wt.%, Cu/Mg ratios of 12.60 and 6.30, and a constant Ag of 0.65 wt.%, and correlates the synergistic comparison of mechanical properties at room and elevated temperatures. According to experimental results, the effect of the precipitation state and the mechanical properties showed strong dependence on the composition and testing environments for peak-aged, heat-treated specimens. In the room-temperature mechanical testing scenario, the higher Cu/Mg ratio alloy with Mg content of 0.23 wt.% (Alloy 1) possessed higher ultimate tensile strength when compared to the low Cu/Mg ratio with Mg content of 0.47 wt.% (Alloy 2). From phase constitution analysis, it is inferred that the increase in strength for Alloy 1 under room-temperature tensile testing is mainly ascribable to the small grain size and fine and uniform distribution of θ precipitates, which provided a barrier to slip by deaccelerating the dislocation movement in the room-temperature environment. Meanwhile, Alloy 2 showed significantly less degradation of mechanical strength under high-temperature tensile testing. Indeed, in most cases, low Cu/Mg ratios had a strong influence on the copious precipitation of thermally stable omega phase, which is known to be a major strengthening phase at elevated temperatures in the Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloying system. Consequently, it is rationally suggested that in the high-temperature testing scenario, the improvement in mechanical and/or thermal stability in the case of the Alloy 2 specimen was mainly due to its compositional design.

The effect of Ca and Sr content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a cast AZ91 magnesium alloy is investigated. Ca and Sr additions in AZ91 magnesium alloy are expected high creep resistance. The microstructure of the alloy exhibits the dendritic α-matrix and the second-phases forming networks on the grain boundary. Tensile tests at elevated temperatures between 448 and 523K reveal that the creep resistance was improved with increasing the additional amount of Ca, especially more than 1.0wt%. From the perspective of grain refinement effect, it is expected that the additions of Ca and Sr to AZ91 magnesium alloy not only improve creep resistance but also improve mechanical properties at room temperature.
