Hardness and creep property of nanocrystalline Ta films were studied by nanoindentation tests. Experimental results suggested that hardness decreases with the decrement of grain size, which exhibits an inverse Hall-Petch effect. A remarkable room temperature creep behavior of nanocrystalline Ta films was revealed during indentation response. Creep stress exponent decreases with the decrement of feature scale, such as grain size and indent displacement. Grain boundary (GB) mediated process involving atomic diffusion and the emission of dislocation at GB is believed to be the dominant deformation mechanism.

AbstractThe grain size effect on the creep behavior of hot-pressed monolithic molybdenum disilicide was investigated at 1200°C in a 19–255 MPa stress range. The creep-stress exponent, n, increased from 1 at low stresses to 4 at high stresses. The grain size exponent, p, varied from 0, to 3.5 and to 8 depending on the grain size, the creep-stress exponent, and creep history.

Nano-indentation technique was used to survey creep stress exponent of ZM6 (Mg-2.8Nd-0.7Zn-0.6Zr) alloy at room temperature. The results showed that average press creep stress exponent of ZM6 alloy was about 89.75, and independent of strain rate and hardness, which has been verified by linear relationship of the double logarithmic plots between strain rate ( ε& ) and hardness (H ) measured by a nano-indentation equipment with constant load of 500mN.

Commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) is an attractive material, due to its good properties such as high strength, high specific work hardening ability, excellent plasticity, toughness, corrosion resistance and weld ability. It is commonly used in pressure vessels, such as heat exchangers, pumps, valves and so on. It has been reported that the room temperature creep has a great influence on the failure of titanium pressure vessel. In this paper, in order to investigate room temperature creep behavior and its effect on tensile properties of CP-Ti, both creep and tensile experiments were carried out. According to creep experiment results, CP-Ti shows strong stress dependent creep behavior at the creep stress higher than 305MPa. On the contrary, the strong loading rate dependent creep behavior occurs at the creep stress lower than 305MPa. Besides, creep strain of CP-Ti can be reduced by pretension. As pretension reaches 6%, creep behavior of CP-Ti is completely suppressed at the creep stress of 320MPa. Subsequent tensile test results show that the occurrence of room temperature creep obviously enhances the strength of CP-Ti. With the increase of creep strain and loading rate in previous creep tests, the yield strength and tensile strength of CP-Ti increase.

Nanoindentation creep and uniaxial tension were conducted on pure Mg with a grain size of about 2 μm at room temperature and the data were directly compared. Despite the differences in stress state, the two sets of data were found to match remarkably well with each other. An apparent stress exponent value of 4 was obtained and the deformation mechanism was discussed in light of dislocation slips and twinning in anisotropic Mg.

An increased cooling rate following reflow produced a decrease in the microstructure size including the size of the colonies, the Pb-rich dendrites and the eutectic phases. The decrease in microstructure size gave an increased creep rate at room temperature and a decrease in the creep stress exponent. Also, thermo-mechanical fatigue crack growth rate decreased and fatigue life increased with the decrease in microstructure size. These effects of the increased cooling rate were attributed to an increase in boundary sliding which could occur from the increase in boundary area with decrease in microstructure size.
