In this work, studies were carried out to investigate the superplasticity of a commercially pure (CP) titanium alloy during high temperature deformation. Uniaxial tensile tests were carried out at 600, 750 and 800°C with an initial strain rate from 10-1s-1 to 10-4s-1. It was found that the alloy do not show good superplasticity due fast grain growth at high temperature and cavity. The effects of temperature on the grain growth and cavity phenomena as well as the dynamic recrystallization of the alloy were studied and a ‘two-step-method’ was introduced to increase the superplasticity of the alloy.

This work reports the influence of oxidation on the superplasticity of commercially pure titanium at high temperatures. Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at temperatures in the range 600-800°C with an initial strain rate of 10s-1 to 10s-3. This study shows that oxidization at the surface of the alloy causes oxide film on the surface of commercially pure titanium alloy, and the thickness of oxide film increase with increasing exposure time and temperature. XRD analysis shows that the oxide film consists of TiO2. Because this oxide film is very brittle, it can induce clefts and degrade the ductility of the titanium at high temperatures. The mechanism of the initial clefts was investigated and a model for the cleft initiation and propagation during high temperature tensile test was proposed.

Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr has been recently developed as a biomaterial showing most potential. The study here was conducted to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior under uniaxial tensile stress at various temperatures (i.e., 700°C, 800°C and 900°C) with different initial strain rates at atmospheric condition. Results of the high temperature tensile tests show a significant improved elongation-to-failure of this novel biomaterial at elevated temperatures compared to open literature, and hence its formability potential.

In order to analyze high temperature deformation behavior of NiAl alloys, deformation maps were constructed for stoichiometric NiAl materials with grain sizes of 4 and 200 µm. Relevant constitute equations and calculation method will be described in this paper. These maps are particularly useful in identifying the location of testing domains, such as creep and tensile tests, in relation to the stress-temperature-strain rate domains experienced by NiAl.

The high-temperature deformation behavior of a SiC whisker-reinforced, yttria-stabilized, tetragonal zirconia polycrystalline composite containing 20 vol % SiC whiskers (SiC/Y-TZP) has been investigated. Tensile tests were performed in vacuum at temperatures from 1450 °C to 1650 °C and at strain rates from 10−3 to 10−5 s−1. The material exhibits useful high-temperature engineering properties (e.g., ∼100 MPa and 16% elongation at T = 1550 °C and at a strain rate of ∼10−4 s−1). The stress exponent was determined to be n ≍ 2. Scanning electron microscopy was used to characterize the grain size and morphology of the composites, both before and after deformation. The grain size in the composite was initially fine, but coarsened at the test temperatures; both dynamic and static grain growth were observed. The morphology of ceramic reinforcements appears to affect strongly the plastic deformation properties of Y-TZP. A comparison is made between the properties of monolithic Y-TZP, 20 wt. % Al2O3 particulate-reinforced Y-TZP (Al2O3/Y-TZP), and SiC/Y-TZP composites.

Mg-6Li-3Zn alloy sheets were prepared by melting and casting, and heavy rolling with a total reduction of 94%. The high-temperature mechanical behavior, microstructures and deformation mechanisms were investigated. The maximum elongation to failure of 300% was demonstrated at 623K and an initial strain rate of 1.67×10-3s-1. Observations by optical microscope, transmission electron microscope reveal that significant dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement occurred in banded grains at 573K and an initial strain rate of 1.67×10-3s-1, under which the subgrain contour was ambiguous and dislocation distribution was relatively uniform. It is shown by newly constructed deformation mechanism map that the high-temperature deformation mechanism in Mg-6Li-3Zn alloy sheet with banded grains at 573K and an initial strain rate of 1.67×10-3 s-1 is dislocation viscous glide controlled by lattice diffusion, the stress exponent is 3 (strain rate sensitivity exponent 0.33) and deformation activation energy is 134.8 kJ mol-1, which is the same as the lattice diffusion activation energy of magnesium.

The aim of present wor is, therfore, to investigated the effect of the damage value prediction equation on the formability of compression specimen and find the optimize forming condition.Although Inconel 625 alloys are excellent materials, Ni-base alloy cannot be formed at room temperature owing to limitation of formability. To improve the formability of Inconel 625, it is necessary to investigate the formability at a high temperature range.A high temperature compression test is performed with a Gleeble 3500 testing machine at various temperatures (approximately 900 1200°C) and strain rates (10/s and 30/s) to obtain high temperature deformation characteristics of Inconel 625. Furthermore, high temperature tensile tests results are used to measure elongations and reductions in the area of Inconel 625.A rigid-plastic finite element simulation is applied to the high temperature compression process to obtain the damage valueThe results of the hot deformation experiment and analysis are presented for various conditions of temperatures and strain rates, and it is expected that damage value will be used in hot forming processes such as hot extrusion and rolling process.

Fine grained, three-phase ceramic composites that exhibit favorable toughness, hardness, and high room-temperature strength were evaluated for high-temperature mechanical stability. A 50vol%Al2O3–25vol%NiAl2O4–25vol%3 mol%yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y–TZP) and a 33vol%Al2O3–33vol%NiAl2O4–33vol%3Y-TZP composite were compression creep tested at temperatures between 1350 and 1450 °C under constant stresses of 20–45 MPa. The three-phase microstructure effectively limited grain growth (average d0 = 1.3 μm, average df = 1.6 μm after 65% true strain). True strain rates were 10−4 to 10−6 s−1 with stress exponents n = 1.7 to 1.8 and a grain-size exponent p = 1.3. A method for compensating for grain growth is presented using stress jump tests. The apparent activation energy for high-temperature deformation for 50vol%Al2O3–25vol%NiAl2O4–25vol%3Y–TZP was found to be 373 kJ/mol-K.
