Abstract The use of MoSi2 as a high temperature oxidation resistant structural material is hindered by its poor elevated temperature creep resistance. The addition of second phase Si3N4 holds promise for improving the creep properties of MoSi2 without decreasing oxidation resistance. The high temperature impression creep behavior of atmospheric plasma sprayed (APS) and hot pressed (HP) MoSi2/Si3N4 composites was investigated. Values for steady state creep rates, creep activation energies, and creep stress exponents were measured. Grain boundary sliding and splat sliding were found to be the dominant creep mechanisms for the APS samples while grain boundary sliding and plastic deformation were found to be the dominant creep mechanisms for the HP samples.

Surface microstructure of nano-composite ceramics prepared by mixed coherence system and machined by two-dimensional ultrasonic precision grinding was researched using TEM, SEM, XRD detector and other equipments. Structure, formation mechanism and characteristic of metamorphic layer of ground surface of nano-composite ceramics were researched. The experiment shows micro deformation mechanism of ceramic material in two-dimensional ultrasound grinding is twin grain boundary and grain-boundary sliding for Al2O3, and it is crystal dislocation of enhanced phase, matrix grain boundary sliding, coordination deformation of intergranular second phase as well as its deformation mechanism for nano-composite ceramics. The fracture surfaces of nano-composite materials with different microscopic structure were observed using TEM and SEM. Research shows that ZrO2 plays an important influence on the generation and expansion of crack, and enhances the strength of grain boundaries. When grain boundaries is rich in the ZrO2 particles, the crack produced in grinding process will be prevented, and the surface with plastic deformation will be smooth. The results shows nanoparticles dispersed in grain boundary prevents crack propagation and makes materials fracture transgranularly which makes the processed surface fine.

Abstract. This study examined the critical plastic formability limit of a fine-structure AZ31 magnesium alloy plate under warm and high temperature based on the strength of a magnesium alloy that has cavities at room temperature. The cyclic hot free-forging process as pre-form working following rolling at a light reduction ratio fabricated a fine-structure AZ31 magnesium alloy plate. The appearance of the cavities was examined in detail together with changes in the structure and preparation methods before further damage at high temperatures with increasing uni-and biaxial plastic deformation. The allowable deformation limit in the super plasticity process can be estimated from the strength of the deformed material and forming limit diagram (FLD) at room temperature. During high-temperature deformation, cavities are produced by stress concentrations at grain boundary triple points and striation bands due to grain boundary sliding. The cavitations growth behavior is dependent upon deformation conditions, and a high percentage of large cavities occupy the sample surface as a large amount of grain boundary sliding is present, i.e., as uniform elongation grows larger, the cavity size also increases. In a case where 200% uniaxial strain was applied to a fine-grained structure material at a temperature of 623K under a strain rate of 10-4s-1, the tensile strength at room temperature decreased about 13%, and elongation was 10% less, compared with that of a material to which no load was applied due to the influence of cavities. In a case of biaxial deformation, the values were 28% lower. It is possible to draw a FLD based on the cavity incidence fraction .

Using TEM, SEM and XRD, the surface microstructures of nanocomposite ceramics prepared by heterocoagulation was studied in two-dimensional ultraprecision grinding with ultrasonic assistance. This research was focused on the structure of ground surface degenerating layer, surface generation mechanism and characteristics of nanocomposite ceramic parts. The experimental results showed that the microscopic deformation mechanism of the ordinary Al2O3 parts was grain- boundary twinning and grain-boundary sliding while microscopic deformation mechanism of nanophase ceramic parts was the inner crystal dislocation of strengthened phase with intragranular structure. And its deformation coordination mechanisms were the grain-boundary sliding and coordination deformation of intercrystalline second-phase. The observation on the fracture surfaces of nanocomposite materials with different microscopic structures by TEM and SEM showed that ZrO2 particles had an important effect on the generation and expansion of crack in ceramic parts. The introduction of ZrO2 particles strengthened the interface intensity of grain boundary. If there were rich ZrO2 particles on the grain boundary, the cracks generated during the grinding process would be prevented. Smooth and plastic deformation processing surface was obtained. It was proved further that the nanophase materials behaved transcrystalline fracture due to the nano particles, dispersed in the grain boundary and prevented the expansion of crack. This material’s fracture behavior made favorable surface possible. In the precise grinding of nano materials, the plastic removal mechanism dominated the process. The dislocated depth of the nanocomposite ceramics after grinding was bigger than that of common ceramics, which meant that dislocation increased.
