The objective of the present study is to analyze the mechanical properties and thermal stability for rapidly solidified and extruded 5083 aluminum alloy (RS). Compression tests were performed in order to estimate flow stress and strain rate sensitivity relation for 5083 alloy in the temperature range of 20°C to 450°C. For the comparison purposes, conventionally cast and extruded industrial material (IM) was studied as well. Deformation tests performed at room temperature conditions show that rapidly solidified material exhibits about 40% higher yield stress (YS=320 MPa) than conventionally cast material (YS=180 MPa), while the deformation at 450°C results in significant decrease of flow stress parameters for RS material (YS=20 MPa) in comparison to IM material (YS=40 MPa). Strain rate sensitivity parameter determined for high temperature conditions indicates superplasticity behavior of RS material. Structural observations show that under conditions of high-temperature deformation there are no operating recrystallization mechanisms. In general, grain size below 1µm and size of reinforcing phases below 50 nm is preserved within the used deformation temperature range.

The flow stress of many materials is a function of the applied strain rate at elevated temperature. The magnitude of this effect is captured by the strain rate sensitivity parameter “m”. The strain rate sensitivity of two face–center cubic solid solution alloys that are proposed for use in high temperature heat exchanger or steam generator applications, Alloys 800H and 617, has been determined as a function of temperature over that range of temperatures relevant for these applications. In addition to determining the strain rate sensitivity, it is important for nuclear design within Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to determine temperature below which the flow stress is not affected by the strain rate. This temperature has been determined for both Alloy 800H and Alloy 617. At high temperature the strain rate sensitivity of the two alloys is significant and they have similar m values. For Alloy 617 the temperature limit below which little or no strain rate sensitivity is observed is approximately 700°C. For Alloy 800H this temperature is approximately 650°C.

ABSTRACTThe compressive ductilities of Ni3Al-Zr-B base alloys with sole addition of magnesium (0.02∼0.06wt.%) and combined addition of magnesium(0.02wt.%) and silicon(0.54∼1.08wt.%) respectively responding to strain rate rising from 10-4sec-1 to 10-1 sec-1 have been studied in a high temperature range of 1073∼1273K. The results show that the compressive strains at rupture(CSR) of the alloys have been greatly improved by sole addition of magnesium and the alloys with combined addition of magnesium and silicon reveal even higher CSR values, furthermore, at temperatures of 1073K and 1273K, the strain rate dependence of CSR reveals to be anomalous, i.e, the CSR value increases as the strain rate rises, and then declines until it surpasses the peak value, which is corresponded to the strain rate of 10-3 sec-1 and 10-3 sec-1 respectively.The beneficial effect of magnesium and silicon exists in their competence of reducing strain rate sensitivity exponent values. The mechanisms of the anomalous ductilizing behavior in the Ni3Al as affected by ternary elements are discussed.

Finite element analysis is used to simulate indentation creep experiments with a cone-shaped indenter. The purpose of the work is to help identify the relationship between the strain-rate sensitivity of the hardness, νH, and that of the flow stress, νσ in materials for which elastic deformations are significant. In general, νH differs from νσ, but the ratio νH/νσ is found to be a unique function of H/E* where H is the hardness and E* is the modulus relevant to Hertzian contact. νH/νσ approaches 1 for small H/E*, 0 for large H/E*, and is insensitive to work hardening. The trend in νH/νσ as a function of H/E* can be explained based on a generalized analysis of Tabor’s relation in which hardness is proportional to the flow stress H = k × σeff and in which the proportionality factor k is a function of σeff/E*.

AbstractThe strain rate sensitivity ß of the flow stress τ is associated with workhardening and β=(δτ/δln ε) is proportional to the workhardening increment τh = τ - τy, where τy is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of β/τh reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [101] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.
