The structure and mechanical properties of amorphous alloy Ni44Fe29Co15Si2B10 after severe plastic deformation (SPD) in Bridgman chamber at the different temperatures (77 and 298 K) have been studied. It is shown that the early stages of the SPD of amorphous alloy cause a noticeable decrease in microhardness HV and significant changes in the physical properties. With increasing the value of SPD the transition from inhomogeneous to homogeneous (or to qualitatively different) mode of plastic flow is observed, which is accompanied by the effects of homogeneous nanocrystallization. The nanoparticle size does not exceed 10 nm. It is established that the thermally activated nanocrystallization processes can occur at very low temperatures (77 K).

Abstract In considering existing information on the mechanical properties of raw rubber, it is not generally possible to distinguish between the effects of elastic and of plastic deformation. In the experiments described great care was taken to secure the complete removal of elastic strain, after stretching to various extensions at different temperatures. The plastic flow increased to a maximum with increasing elongation and fell again at higher elongations, an effect attributed to the increase of crystallization with increasing extension. For rubber held extended for one hour at 25° C the flow was never greater than 2% of the original extension, and for extensions greater than 440% or less than 130% it was negligibly small. Curves showing the decay of tension at constant extension, and the recovery of length after stretching, in conjunction with the observations on plastic flow, are interpreted in terms of a theory proposed by Busse, according to which the rubber molecules are held together at certain points by cohesional linkages of low energy, some of which are broken down during stretching.

Severe plastic deformation is an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of metallic alloys through promoting the grain structure. In the present work, simple cyclic extrusion compression technique (SCEC) has been developed for producing a fine structure of cast Al-1 wt. % Cu alloy and consequently enhancing the mechanical properties of the studied alloy. It was found that the grain structure was significantly reduced from 1500 µm to 100 µm after two passes of cyclic extrusion. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the as-cast alloy were 110 MPa and 12 %, respectively. However, the corresponding mechanical properties of the two pass CEC deformed alloy are 275 MPa and 35%, respectively. These findings ensure that a significant improvement in the grain structure has been achieved. Also, cyclic extrusion deformation increased the surface hardness of the alloy by 49 % after two passes. FE-simulation model was adopted to simulate the deformation behavior of the material during the cyclic extrusion process using DEFORMTM-3D Ver11.0. The FE-results revealed that SCEC technique was able to impose severe plastic strains with the number of passes. The model was able to predict the damage, punch load, back pressure, and deformation behavior.

The present paper analyzed the microstructural characteristics and the mechanical properties of a Ti–Nb–Zr–Fe–O alloy of β-Ti type obtained by combining severe plastic deformation (SPD), for which the total reduction was of etot = 90%, with two variants of super-transus solution treatment (ST). The objective was to obtain a low Young’s modulus with sufficient high strength in purpose to use the alloy as a biomaterial for orthopedic implants. The microstructure analysis was conducted through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigations. The analyzed mechanical properties reveal promising values for yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of about 770 and 1100 MPa, respectively, with a low value of Young’s modulus of about 48–49 GPa. The conclusion is that satisfactory mechanical properties for this type of alloy can be obtained if considering a proper combination of SPD + ST parameters and a suitable content of β-stabilizing alloying elements, especially the Zr/Nb ratio.

An aged Al-5Zn-1.6Mg alloy with fine η' precipitates was grain refined to ~100 nm grain size by severe plastic deformation (SPD). Microstructure evolution during SPD and mechanical behaviour after SPD of the alloy were characterized by electron microscopy and tensile, compression as well as nanoindentation tests. The influence of η' precipitates on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained Al-Zn-Mg alloy is discussed with respect to their effect on dislocation configurations and deformation mechanisms during processing of the alloy.

ABSTRACTWe report the first direct observation of crystallization induced in the slipped planes of aluminum based amorphous alloys by bending the amorphous ribbons. Nanometer-sized crystalline precipitates are found exclusively within a thin layer (shear band) in the slipped planes extending across the deformed amorphous alloy ribbons. It is also found that the nanocrystalline aluminum can be produced by ball-Milling. It is likely that local atomic rearrangements within the shear bands create the nanocrystals which appear after plastic deformation.

In this work, Al-Mg-Mn-Si alloy (5483) in the as-received and severe plastically deformed states was used. Plastic deformation was carried out by hydrostatic extrusion, and three different true strain values were applied 1.4, 2.8 and 3.8. All specimens were subjected to tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The investigated material revealed an instability during plastic deformation in the form of serration on the stress-strain curves, the so called Portevin-Le Chatelier effect It was shown that grain size reduction effected the character of the instability.
