A recrystallized Co-Ni-Cr-Mo based superalloy was produced by cold working of 72% and subsequent recrystallization heat treatment. Microstructural observation revealed that a full recrystallization of the cold-worked alloy occured when heat treatment was performed at and above 1273K for 1h. So that, recrystallization heat treatment was carried out in a temperature range from 1273K to 1473K for 1h~24h, by which the average grain size was controlled to 28µm～238µm. Tensile tests were carried out from room temperature (RT) to 1073K in order to understand the effect of grain size on the mechanical properties of the Co-Ni-Cr-Mo based superalloy. At RT and 943K, yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of the recrystallized alloy were improved with decreasing grain size. The alloy having a grain size less than 42µm exhibited a steady-state flow behavior in the true stress-true strain curve at 943K. However, the alloy having a grain size of 28µm showed lower yield strength than that of 42µm at 1073K. It was found that the steady state flow is closely related to the occurrence of {111}<112> deformation twinning in the Co-Ni-Cr-Mo based superalloy.

Mechanical property of carbon-free Co-Ni-Cr-Mo based superalloy was investigated at room temperature and at 943 K. Cold working and subsequent recrystallization heat treatment was carried out to produce an equiaxed grain structure. The average grain size was controlled to 28 and 238 µm in order to understand the effect of grain size on mechanical property and flow behavior. At room temperature and 943 K, 0.2% offset yield strength increased with decreasing grain size to exhibit grain size dependence. At 943 K, a specimen with the average grain size of 28 µm showed higher yield strength than that obtained with a specimen having the average grain size of 238 µm. A steady-state like behavior leading to an extensive ductility was observed in the fine-grained specimen. {111}<112> deformation twinning was found to correlate with the steady-state like behavior in the true stress-true strain curve. It was suggested that grain refinement is favor to enhance the fracture strength and allow the deformation twinning to occur.

Abstract The paper analyzes the influence of different heat treatment processes on the mechanical properties of low-alloy high-strength steel denoted by Polish Standard (PN) as 10MnVNb6. One of the findings is that, after aging, the mechanical properties of rolled steel are high: the yield strength may reach > 600 MPa, and the ultimate tensile strength is > 700 MPa. These properties are largely dependent on the grain size and dispersion of the strengthening phase in the ferrite matrix. Aging applied after hot rolling contributes to a considerable rise in the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. The process of normalization causes a decrease in the average grain size and coalescence (reduction of dispersion) of the strengthening phase. When 10MnVNb6 steel was aged after normalization, there was not a complete recovery in its strength properties.

The Relationship

The 3003 aluminum alloy was deformed by isothermal compression in the range of deformation temperature 300 – 500 ℃ at strain rate 0.0l – 10.0 s-1 with Gleeble-1500 thermal simulator. A constitutive equation is established from the flow stress of the hot deformation. It is found that the average grain size of the 3003 aluminum alloy increases with the decrease of Zener-Hollomon (Z) value, and there is a linear correlation between them. The prediction model of the steady-state flow stress and the average grain size is established. The steady-state flow stress increases with the decrease of the average grain size. The microhardness of the 3003 aluminum alloy has a positive linear relationship with lnZ, and the relationship between the microhardness and the grain size meets the Hall-Petch equation, which can provide a reference for the microstructure control and rolling equipment selection of the 3003 aluminum alloy under hot deformation conditions.

Bimodal Grain Size

The mechanical properties of Mg-6Sn-3Al-1Zn alloy were enhanced with bimodal grain size disturbed in the microstructure uniformly; the Mg-6Sn-3Al-1Zn alloys were rolled with 60% thickness reduction at different rolling temperatures. The results have shown that the Mg-6Sn-3Al-1Zn alloys are composed of Mg2Sn phase and α-Mg matrix phase. When the rolling temperature was less than or equal to 400°C, with the rolling temperature increasing, the average size and volume fraction of Mg2Sn phase and the average grain size of small grains remained unchanged, the average grain size of large grains decreased, the volume fraction of small grains increased, and the yield strength of the alloy increased. When the rolling temperature reached 450°C, the average size and volume fraction of Mg2Sn phase and the average grain size of large grains increased, and the volume fraction of small grains and the yield strength of the alloy decreased. The elongation increased with the rolling temperature increasing, but the change trend of hardness was just opposite. When the alloy was rolled at 400°C, the average sizes of small grains, large grains, and Mg2Sn phases were 3.66 μm, 9.24 μm, and 19.5 μm, respectively. The volume fractions of small grains, large grains, and Mg2Sn phases were 18.6%, 77.6%, and 3.8%, respectively. And the tensile properties reached the optimum; for example, the tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and Vickers hardness were 361 MPa, 289.5 MPa, 20.5%, and 76.3 HV, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of grain size on mechanical properties in Cu-Sn foil with a thickness of 30 um. The grain size was varied from approximately 7 um to 50 um using heat treatment at 773 K for 2 h to 24 h in a vacuum atmosphere. Tensile test was carried out at room temperature with strain rate of 1mm/min. Typical yield drop phenomenon was observed. Mechanical properties were found to be strongly affected by microstructural features including grain size. The yield strength and tensile strength gradually decreased with increasing the grain size. The strain to fracture also decreased by grain growth. These results could be explained by not only the grain size dependence of yield strength but also the ratio of thickness to grain size dependence of yield strength.

AbstractThe effects of Bi on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ80-2Sn alloy were investigated. The results show that the addition of Bi within the as-cast AZ80-2Sn alloy promotes the formation of Mg3Bi2 phase, which can refine the grains and make the eutectic phases discontinuous. The addition of 0.5 % Bi within the as-extruded AZ80-2Sn alloy, the average grain size decreases to 12 μm and the fine granular Mg17Al12 and Mg3Bi2 phases are dispersed in the α-Mg matrix. With an increase in Bi content, the Mg17Al12 and Mg3Bi2 phases become coarsened and the grain size increases. The as-extruded AZ80-2Sn-0.5 %Bi alloy has the optimal properties, and the ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and elongation are 379.6 MPa, 247.1 MPa and 14.8 %, respectively.

The Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing has been investigated. It was found that the Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy processed by ECAP obtained ultrafine grains and exhibits excellent mechanical properties. After ECAP, the average grain size of Mg96Y3Zn1 alloy refined to about 400 nm. The highest strengths with yield strength of 381.45MPa and ultimate tensile strength of 438.33MPa were obtained after 2 passes at 623K. It was found that cracks were preferentially initiated and propagated in the interior of X-phase during the tensile test. As a result, the elongation of alloy is decreased with pass number increasing.

Mechanical behavior and microstructure evolution of Ti and Ti-64 titanium alloy during warm “abc” deformation has been studied. The “abc” deformation was consisted of successive compression of a sample along three orthogonal directions. Mechanical behavior of each material was described by set of successive σ-ε curves combined into cumulative σ-Σε curve. Microstructure of Ti was found to be refined to a grain size of about 0.4 μm due to formation of deformation-induced boundaries within initial grains. Although a stage like steady state flow was observed at the cumulative σ-Σε curve such mechanical behavior was hardly associated with superplastic flow. In two-phase Ti-64 alloy the structure was found to be refined to a grain size of about 0.4 μm after warm “abc” deformation due to globularization α- and β-particles following breaking down of α-lamellar and β- layers. Microstructure refinement of the alloy was associated with softening and superplastic flow.

The paper analyzes the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti49.8Ni50.2 alloy (at.%) under uniaxial tension at room temperature after isothermal abc pressing to true strains e = 0.29 − 8.44 at T = 723 K. The analysis shows that as the true strain e is increased, the grain–subgrain structure of the alloy is gradually refined. This leads to an increase in its yield stress σy and strain hardening coefficient θ = dσ/dε at linear stage III of its tensile stress–strain curve according to the Hall–Petch relation. However, the ultimate tensile strength remains invariant to such refinement. The possible mechanism is proposed to explain why the ultimate tensile strength can remain invariant to the average grains size (dav). It is assumed that the sharp increase of the ultimate tensile strength σUTS begins when (dav) is less than the critical average grain size (dav)cr. In our opinion, for the investigated alloy (dav)cr ≈ 0.5 µm. In our study, the attained average grain size is larger the critical one. The main idea of the mechanism is next. In alloys with an average grain size (dav) less than the critical one, a higher external stress is required for the nucleation and propagation of the main crack.
