Superplastic Properties

It is shown that formation of ultrafine-grained structure in EK61 superalloy up to grain sizes less than 1 μm provides to realize superplastic properties. The influence of deformation in the temperature range 600-1100 °C and strain rate range 10-4s-1– 10-3s-1on the microstructure and properties of ultrafine-grained nickel-based alloy EK61 is studied. It is established that in temperature range 750-900 °C the alloy demonstrates superplasticity (SP) characteristics: strain rate sensitivity factor “m” correspond to 0.39-0.59, stable structure and low changes in the form and size of grains. The maximum SP is displayed at temperatures of 800 °C, wherein the elongation is 1431 %. It has been experimentally confirmed that the use of low-temperature superplasticity is a promising for processing sound solid phase joints by pressure welding of similar and dissimilar Ni-based superalloys.

<p>Magnesium based alloy containing 9 wt. % Li, 1,5 wt. % Al, composed of a + b (hcp + bcc) phases was cast under argon atmosphere and extruded at 350<sup>o</sup>C. Up to 3 passes of Twist Channel Angular Pressing TCAP deformation was applied at 160<sup>o</sup>C. TCAP tool consisted of helical part in horizontal area of the channel with angle of lead γ = 30° to simulate back pressure. The initial grain size of hexagonal a phase estimated at 30 mm decreased in following passes down to 6 mm and that of bcc b phase decreased after TCAP from initial 12 mm down to 5 mm. TEM studies after TCAP passes showed higher dislocation density in the b region than in the a phase. Crystallographic relationship (001) a || (110) b indicated parallel positioning of slip planes of both phases. Electron diffraction confirmed increase of grain misorientation with number of TCAP passes. Stress/strain curves measured at temperature 200<sup>o</sup>C showed superplastic forming after 1<sup>st</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass. Values of strain rate sensitivity coefficient <em>m</em> were calculated at 0.31 after 1 TCAP pass and increased after 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass up to 0.47 for the strain rate range 10<sup>-5</sup> – 5 10<sup>-4</sup>. Increase of number of TCAP passes had positive effect on superplastic properties due to finer grains and increase of their misorientation;</p>

Cp Ti

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) commercially pure (CP) Ti with a grain size of about 200 nm was produced by ECAP up to 8 passes using route BC at room temperature. For ECAP processing a proper die set was designed and constructed with an internal channel angle Φ of 120° and an outer arc of curvature Ψ of 20°. Strain rate sensitivity of UFG CP-Ti and CG CP-Ti were investigated by compression tests in the temperature range of 298~673K and strain rate range of 10-4~100s-1 using Gleeble simulator machine. Evolution of the microstructure during compression testing was observed using optical microscopy (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strain rate sensitivity value m of the UFG CP-Ti has been measured and is found to increase with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, and is enhanced compared to that of CG CP-Ti. Result of the deformation activation energy determination of UFG CP-Ti indicates that the deformation mechanism in UFG CP-Ti is correlated to the grain boundaries.

An ultra-fine grained structure with an average size of ~ 1 μm was produced in a commercial Al–5.4%Mg–0.5%Mn–0.1%Zr–0.12%Si–0.014%Fe alloy by hot equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) followed by isothermal rolling (IR). It was found that in the strain rate interval from 5.6×10-4to 2.8×10-2s-1the alloy exhibits a low-temperature superplasticity with elongation-to-failure exceeding 400% and the strain rate sensitivity coefficient of ~0.3. The highest elongation-to-failure of ~ 620% appeared at a temperature of ~ 275°C and an initial strain rate of ~ 5.6×10-3s-1. The relationship between superplastic properties and microstructural evolution of the examined alloy is discussed.

Superplastic Properties

The commercial Al-5.4Mg-0.2Sc-0.1Zr alloy was subjected to equal-channel angular pressing at 300°C to a true strain ~12 followed by cold rolling to a total thickness reduction of 80%. The ultrafine-grained sheets were joined by friction stir welding (FSW). To evaluate superplastic properties of the weldments, the tensile samples including all of the characteristic FSW microstructural zones were machined perpendicular to the welding direction and pulled up to failure in the temperature range of 400 to 500°C and at strain rates of 2.8×10-4 s-1 to 5.6×10-1 s-1. The friction-stir welded material exhibited excellent superplastic properties. The highest elongation-to-failure of ~1370% was recorded at a temperature of ~450°C and an initial strain rate of 5.6×10-2 s-1, where the strain rate sensitivity coefficient was about 0.64. The relationship between superplastic ductility and microstructure is discussed.

Flow Stress Data

In the present study, deformation heating generated by plastic deformation and its effect on the processing maps of Ti-15-3 titanium alloy were investigated. For this purpose, hot compression tests were performed on a Gleeble-3800 thermo-mechanical simulator in the temperature range of 850-1150 °C and strain rate range of 0.001-10 s1. The temperature rise due to deformation heating was calculated and the as-measured flow curves were corrected for deformation heating. Using the as-measured and corrected flow stress data, the processing maps for Ti-15-3 titanium alloy at a strain of 0.5 were developed on the basis Murty‘s and Babu’s instability criteria. The results show that both the instability maps based the two instability criteria are essentially similar and are characterized by an unstable region occurring at strain rates higher than 0.1 s1for almost the entire temperature range tested. The unstable regions are overestimated from the as-measured data due to the effect of deformation heating, indicating a better workability after correcting the effect of deformation heating. This is further conformed by the analysis based on strain rate sensitivity.

Average Size

The ultrafine grained (UFG) structure with an average size of ∼0.8 μm was produced in an Al-Li-Mg-Sc alloy by equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at 325oC with a total strain of ~16. Superplastic behavior was examined in the temperature range 150-250oC at strain rates ranging from 10-5 to 10-2 s-1. A maximum elongation-to-failure of 440% was recorded at 175oC (~0.5 Tm, where Tm is the melting point) and a strain rate of 2.8×10-5 s-1 with the corresponded strain rate sensitivity coefficient of 0.32. Mechanisms of low-temperature superplasticity (LTSP) and high-strain-rate superplasticity (HTSP) are essentially the same. The difference between superplastic behaviors at low and high temperatures is attributed to applied stress.

Mg-Gd-Y-Zn-Zr Mg alloys show excellent performance in high-end manufacturing due to its strength, hardness and corrosion resistance. However, the hot deformation and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors of Mg-13.5Gd-3.2Y-2.3Zn-0.5Zr were not studied. For this article, hot compression behavior of homogenized high rare-earth (RE) content Mg-13.5Gd-3.2Y-2.3Zn-0.5Zr (wt%) alloy was investigated by using the Gleeble-3500D thermo-simulation test machine under the temperature of 350–500 °C and the strain rate of 0.001–1 s−1. It was found that the high flow stress corresponded to the low temperature and high strain rate, which showed DRX steady state curve during the hot compression. The hot deformation average activation was 263.17 kJ/mol, which was obtained by the analysis of the hyperbolic constitutive equation and the Zener-Hollomon parameter. From observation of the microstructure, it was found that kink deformation of long period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase was one of the important coordination mechanisms of hot deformation at low temperature. The processing map with the strain of 0.5 was established under the basis of dynamic material model (DMM); it described two high power dissipation domains: one appearing in the temperature range of 370–440 °C and the strain rate range of 0.001–0.006 s−1, the other appearing in the temperature range of 465–500 °C and strain rate range of 0.001–0.05 s−1, in which dynamic recrystallization (DRX) mainly ocurred. The highest degree of DRX was 18% from the observation of the metallographic.

Superplastic Tension

The superplastic tension and deformation mechanism of Ti-6Al-4V alloy at 923 K and a tensile speed of 10−3, 5 × 10−3, or 5 × 10−2 s−1 was studied on an AG 250KNE electronic tension tester. Through theoretical modeling, the unit dislocation count of this alloy during superplastic deformation was introduced into the Ruano–Wadsworth–Sherby (R-W-S) deformation mechanism map, and a new deformation mechanism map involving dislocation count was plotted. Thereby, the mechanism underling the low-temperature superplastic deformation of this alloy was predicted. It was found the superplastic tension of Ti-6Al-4V at the tested temperature was controlled by dislocation movement, and with an increase in strain rate, the deformation transited from the dislocation-controlled mechanism with a stress index of 4 to the dislocation glide mechanism with a stress index of 5 or 7. At the strain rate of 10−3 s−1, this alloy reached the largest tension rate of 790% and strain rate sensitivity index of 0.52 and had excellent low-temperature superplastic properties.

Indentation Strain

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.

In order to quantitatively analyze the critical strain for the initiation of dynamic recrystallization in Ni-Fe-based Alloy 718, a series of uniaxial compression tests was conducted in the temperature range 927°C - 1066°C and the strain rate range 5 x 10-4s-1- 5 s-1with varying initial grain size. The critical strains were graphically determined based on one parameter approach and microscopically confirmed. The effect of γ'' (matrix-hardening phase) and δ (grain boundary phase)on the critical strain was simply discussed. The constitutive model for the critical strain of Alloy 718 was constructed using the experimental data obtained from the higher strain rate and the temperature range between 940°C and 1040°C.
