Superplastic forming (SPF) properties of TIMETAL54M (Ti-5Al-4V-0.6Mo-0.4Fe, or Ti-54M) sheet were investigated. A total elongation of Ti-54M exceeds 500% at temperatures between 750°C and 850°C at a strain rate of 10-3/S. Values of strain rate sensitivity (m-value) measured by jump strain rate tests are 0.45 ~0.6 in a temperature range of 730°C to 900°C at a strain arte of 5 x 10-4/S or 1 x 10-4/S. Flow stress of the alloy is 20 ~ 40% lower than that of Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) mill annealed sheet. The observation of microstructure after the tests revealed the indication of grain boundary sliding in a wide range of temperatures and strain rates.

Complex sheet metal components can be formed from lightweight aluminum and magnesium sheet alloys using superplastic forming technologies. Superplastic forming typically takes advantage of the high strain-rate sensitivity characteristic of grain-boundary-sliding (GBS) creep to obtain significant ductility at high temperatures. However, GBS creep requires fine-grained materials, which can be expensive and difficult to manufacture. An alternative is provided by materials that exhibit solute-drag (SD) creep, a mechanism that also produces elevated values of strain-rate sensitivity. SD creep typically operates at lower temperatures and faster strain rates than does GBS creep. Unlike GBS creep, solute-drag creep does not require a fine, stable grain size. Previous work by Boissière et al. suggested that the Mg-Y-Nd alloy, essentially WE43, deforms by SD creep at temperatures near 400°C. The present investigation examines both tensile and biaxial deformation behavior of ElektronTM 43 sheet, which has a composition similar to WE43, at temperatures ranging from 400 to 500°C. Data are presented that provide additional evidence for SD creep in Elektron 43 and demonstrate the remarkable degree of biaxial strain possible under this regime (>1000%). These results indicate an excellent potential for producing complex 3-D parts, via superplastic forming, using this particular heat-treatable Mg alloy.

This study investigated strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) in an as-extruded AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy with grain size of about 10 mm. Although the alloy shows negligible SRS at strain rates of >10-5 s-1 at room temperature, the exponent increased by one order from 0.008 to 0.06 with decrease of the strain rate down to 10-8 s-1. The activation volume (V) was evaluated as approximately 100b3 at high strain rates and as about 15b3 at low strain rates (where b is the Burgers vector). In addition, deformation twin was observed only at high strain rates. Because the twin nucleates at the grain boundary, stress concentration is necessary to be accommodated by dislocation absorption into the grain boundary at low strain rates. Extrinsic grain boundary dislocations move and engender grain boundary sliding (GBS) with low thermal assistance. Therefore, GBS enhances and engenders SRS in AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature.

In this paper, the behaviour of extra-low interstitial (ELI) grade Ti-6Al-4V wire alloy has been extensively studied at varying strain rates in the range of 10-5-102 s-1 at temperatures ranging between 750 °C and 1050 °C using processing maps and experimental data to determine the material's mechanical and superplastic forming capabilities. From the slope of a log plot of strain rate versus flow stress, the strain-rate sensitivity index, m, was determined. A plot of m versus the log of strain rate was produced in order to identify the key strain rates in which ELI grade Ti-6Al-4V exhibits its superplastic regime. It was determined that this alloy is most sensitive to superplastic forming within a narrow strain-rate band of 10-4-10-3 s-1 and has a maximum strain-rate sensitivity index, m = 0.45. At strain rates below and above this range, the material exhibited negligible levels of superplasticity. The key temperature for superplastic forming was determined to be 950 °C. The effect of temperature on flow stress and flow stability was analysed using the Zener-Holloman parameter. The experimentally determined results showed excellent agreement with Guo and Ridley's activation mathematical model.

First Results

In this paper the first results of the mechanical characterization in tension of two high strength alloys in a wide range of strain rates are presented. Different experimental techniques were used for different strain rates: a universal machine, a Hydro-Pneumatic Machine and a JRC-Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar. The experimental research was developed in the DynaMat laboratory of the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland. An increase of the stress at a given strain increasing the strain-rate from 10-3 to 103 s-1, a moderate strain-rate sensitivity of the uniform and fracture strain, a poor reduction of the cross-sectional area at fracture with increasing the strain-rate were shown. Based on these experimental results the parameters required by the Johnson-Cook constitutive law were determined.

The dynamic recrystallization behavior of as-cast Ti-46.5Al-3Ta-2Cr-0.2W alloy during isothermal compression process with nominal deformation of 50% and strain rates from 0.01s to 1s was investigated by electron microscopy. The results showed that the deformation mechanism of this alloy can be concluded as grain boundary sliding and mechanical twins, which induce the final dynamic recrystallization. The phase boundary bulging was found to be the major nucleation mechanism responsible for the lamellar globularization and the formation of recrystallized γ grains inside the lamellar colony under the high strain rate. The recrystallized γ grains induced by the twinning is the main mechanism for refining α2 lamellar microstructures under low strain rate.

A theoretical model is developed to account for the effects of strain rate and temperature on the deformation behavior of ultrafine-grained fcc Cu. Three mechanisms, including dislocation slip, grain boundary diffusion, and grain boundary sliding are considered to contribute to the deformation response simultaneously. Numerical simulations show that the strain rate sensitivity increases with decreasing grain size and strain rate, and that the flow stress and tensile ductility increase with either increasing strain rate or decreasing deformation temperature.

In several industrial applications, metallic structures are facing impact loads. Therefore, there is an important need for developing constitutive equations which take into account the strain rate sensitivity of their mechanical properties. The Johnson-Cook equation was widely used to model the strain rate sensitivity of metals. However, it implies that the yield and flow stresses are linearly increasing in terms of the logarithm of strain rate. This is only true up to a threshold strain rate. In this work, a three-constant constitutive equation, assuming an apparent activation volume which decreases as the strain rate increases, is applied here for some metals. It is shown that this equation fits well the experimental yield and flow stresses for a very wide range of strain rates, including quasi-static, high, and very high strain rates (from 10−5to 5 × 104 s−1). This is the first time that a constitutive equation is showed to be able to fit the yield stress over a so large strain rate range while using only three material constants.

ABSTRACTIn this work, superplastic behaviours in Ti-33A1–3Cr-0.5Mo (wt%) γ-TiAl alloys with two different initial microstructures of near gamma (NG) and duplex (DM) structure were investigated with respect to the effect of testing temperatures and strain rates. At 1050°C and a strain rate of 8×10–5 S–1, a maximum elongation of 570% was observed for NG-TiAl and a maximum elongation of 467% for DM-TiAl. The relations of flow stress and strain rate sensitivity vs. strain rates at different temperatures were also determined by incremental strain rate tests. The results showed that the value of strain rate sensitivity is higher and the flow stress is lower for NG than those for DM at the same condition. The microstructural evolution during superplastic deformation was examined and correlated to the mechanical properties for these two alloys. The influence of microstructure on the superplastic behaviours of γ-TiAl alloys, and possible superplastic deformation mechanisms were finally discussed.

The present study examines the thermomechanical strain-rate sensitivity of eutectic 63Sn–37Pb solder over a broad range of strain-rates from 0.0002 s–1 to 200 s–1, thus encompassing failure events between 1 h and 1 ms, at temperatures ranging from −60 °C to + 100 °C. A newly developed servohydraulic tensile method enabled this broad range of strain-rates to be evaluated by a single technique, eliminating ambiguity caused by evaluation across multiple experimental methods. Two solder conditions were compared: a normalized condition representing a solder joint that has largely stabilized ∼30 days after solidification and an aged condition representing ∼30 years at near-ambient temperatures. The tensile behavior of both conditions exhibited dramatic temperature and strain-rate sensitivity. At 100 °C, the yield strength increased from 5 MPa at 0.0002 s–1 to 42 MPa at 200 s–1, while at −60 °C, the yield strength increased from 57 MPa at 0.0002 s–1 to 71 MPa at 200 s–1. The room temperature strain rate-dependent behavior was also measured for the lead free SAC396 alloy. The SAC alloy exhibited thermal strain-rate sensitivity similar to Sn–Pb over this temperature and strain-rate regime. Microstructural characterization using backscatter electron imaging and electron backscatter diffraction showed distinct, morphological changes of the microstructure for different thermomechanical conditions as well as some systematic changes in the crystallographic texture. However, very little intergranular rotation was observed over the range of thermomechanical conditions, suggesting the dominance of a grain boundary sliding (GBS) deformation mechanism. Finally, a recently developed unified-creep-plasticity constitutive model for solder deformation was found to describe the observed behavior with much higher fidelity than the common Johnson–Cook model.
