Very high plastic strain zones with equivalent plastic strain above 0.2, PZ0.2 and above 0.5, PZ0.5 in 304 stainless steel small punch specimens loaded at RT to various level were observed and measured by martensite formation and recrystallization technique, respectively. It is found that both the very high plastic zones are formed ,at middle stage of the small punch test, at first near the outer surface region of the specimen where the loading ball is contacted to the specimen. The zones extend with increasing load toward the inner surface. Thus the contact area part of the specimen with the ball causes a significant strain gradient through thickness. This will be due to the constraint of the plastic deformation near the contact region by the friction force.

Plastic zone with equivalent plastic strain ε above 0.02 PZ0.02 and that above 0.12 PZ0.12 in 304 stainless steel small punch specimen loaded at RT and 77K to various level to fracture were measured by the recrystallization technique. Martensite transformation was also checked magnetically. It is found that the behaviour of both PZ0.02 and PZ 0.12 is at first stretching mode, then stretching and bending mode and then stretching mode. PZ0.02 and PZ0.12 propagated to the clamped region of the specimen.

Constant strain-rate plastic straining followed by creep tests were conducted to investigate the effect of prior plastic straining on the subsequent creep behavior of 304 stainless steel at room temperature. The effects of plastic strain and plastic strain-rate were delineated by a specially designed test procedure, and it is found that both factors have a strong influence on the subsequent creep deformation. A creep model combining the two factors is then developed. The predictions of the model are in good agreement with the test results.

The low-cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of a nickel-base precipitation-strengthened superalloy (GH4145/SQ), obtained at a temperature of 538 o C, were reported and discussed in this paper. The properties investigated include cyclic stress response, fatigue life, deformation microstructure and final fracture features as a function of applied strain amplitude. It was shown that the alloy exhibited a pronounced initial hardening followed by continuous softening to failure at high plastic strain amplitudes ( > 0.2% ap ε ), while at low plastic strain amplitudes ( < 0.2% ap ε ) the initial hardening was followed by a well-defined saturation stage. Bilinear behavior with a change of slope at a plastic strain amplitude of about 0.2% was observed in the cyclic stress-strain (CSS) and Coffin-Manson (C-M) plots. TEM observations revealed that slip band density increased with increasing total strain amplitude and precipitate degradation resulting from dislocation-precipitate interactions took place with continuous cyclic straining. The change in the microstructure during cycling is thus responsible for the fatigue hardening / softening behavior of the alloy. SEM examinations indicated that at low plastic strain amplitudes ( < 0.2% ap ε ) crack propagation was basically transgranular, while at high plastic strain amplitudes ( > 0.2% ap ε ) crack propagation exhibited intergranular features, as a whole. The variation in both the number of operating slip systems and the fracture modes with the strain amplitude employed was used to explain the observed two-stage LCF behavior of the present investigated superalloy.
