Deformation mechanisms of Mg89Zn4Y7 (at.%) extruded alloy, which is mostly composed of LPSO-phase, was investigated focusing on their temperature dependence. The yield stress of as-extruded alloy showed extremely high value of ~480 MPa at RT, but it largely decreased to ~130 MPa at 300 °C. The decreasing rate of the yield stress could be significantly reduced, however, by the annealing of specimen at 400 °C, by suppressing the microyielding which is considered to occur related by the grain boundary sliding in restricted regions. The yield stress of the annealed specimens with random textures could be estimated by the Hall-Petch relationship by regarding the length of long-axis of plate-like grains as a grain size between RT and 300 °C. The yield stress of the annealed specimens maintained high values even at 200°C, but it also showed large decreases at 300 °C.

The morphology and mechanism of Cu precipitation in grain boundary allotriomorphs of proeutectoid cementite forming isothermally inaustenite in two Fe-10Mn-3Cu-0.8C and Fe-lOMn- lCu-0.8C (nominal wt%) alloys are being studied. These particular alloys can be partially decomposed to the proeutectoid and eutectoid phases recognisable in ferritic steels, but possess the advantage that unlike ferritic steels the parent austenite phase is retained after cooling to room temperature thus facilitating studies of the decomposition reactions.A 50 g ingot of each experimental alloy was argon arc melted using high purity materials and homogenised. Samples were rolled, swaged and machined to 3mm diameter rod, solution treated at 1200 °C for 1 hr and quenched in water. Specimens were then solutionised at 1200°C for 10 min and isothermally transformed at 615 °C for 4 hrs. Methods for the preparation of thin foils for TEM are given elsewhere.The heat treatment resulted in the formation of grain boundary allotriomorphs of cementite in austenite (Fig 1). TEM confirmed that the cementite allotriomorphs formed with the Pitsch orientation relationship to one of the austenite grains at the grain boundary (Fig 2c ) consistent with a previous analysis.

Creep rupture strength and ductility of Creep Strength Enhanced Ferritic steels of Grades 23, 91, 92 and 122 was investigated with particular emphasis on remarkable drop in the long-term. Large difference in creep rupture strength and ductility was observed on three heats of Grade 23 steels. Remarkable drop of creep rupture strength in the long-term of T91 was comparable to those of Grades 92 and 122. Remarkable drop in creep rupture ductility in a stress regime below 50% of 0.2% offset yield stress was observed on Grade T23 steel, however, that of Grade P23 steel did not indicate any degradation of creep rupture ductility. Higher creep rupture ductility of Grade P23 steel was considered to be caused by its lower creep strength than that of T23 steels. Creep rupture ductility of Grades 92 and 122 steels indicated rapid and drastic decrease with decrease in stress at 50% of 0.2% offset yield stress. Stress dependence of creep rupture ductility of Grades 92 and 122 steels was well described by a ratio of stress to 0.2% offset yield stress, regardless of temperature. On the other hand, large drop in creep rupture ductility of Grade 91 steel was observed only in the very low stress regime at 650°C. Alloying elements including impurities and changes in precipitates may influence on creep rupture ductility, however, remarkable drop in ductility of the steels cannot be explained by chemical composition and precipitates. High ductility in the high stress regime above 50% of 0.2% offset yield stress should be provided by easy plastic deformation, and it has been concluded that a remarkable drop in ductility in the low stress regime is derived from a concentration of creep deformation into a tiny recovered region formed at the vicinity of grain boundary.

AbstractIt has been shown that it is possible to obtain significant room temperature tensile ductility in FeAl alloys using iron-rich deviations from stoichiometry. A comparison of the room temperature tensile and compressive behaviors of Fe−50at% Al and Fe−40at% Al shows that FeAl is brittle at higher Al contents because it fractures along grain boundaries before general yielding. Lower aluminium contents reduce the yield stress substantially and hence some ductility is observed before fracture.Addition of boron results in measurable improvements in ductility of Fe−40at% Al and is accompanied by an increase in transgranular tearing on the fracture surface, suggesting a grain boundary strengthening mechanism.Increasing the cooling rate following annealing at 1273 K results in a large increase in the yield strength and a corresponding decrease in ductility.
