A grain size is known to be one of the factors which define mechanical properties of metallic materials. At the same time the mechanisms which regulate the deformation behavior of bulk ultrafine-grained (UFG) metals produced by the severe plastic deformation method are still a subject for intensive study and fixed ambiguously. The report presents the developed model and the results of its application for kinetic modeling of the deformation behavior of coarse-grained (CG) and UFG Ti. Modeling has been carried out considering the possible contribution of dislocation slip and ageing. Conclusions about the role of the investigated mechanisms in the appearance of the peculiarities of the deformation behavior of CG and UFG Ti have been made.

Investigations of mechanical properties of nanocrystalline (nc) materials are still in interest of materials science, because they offer wide application as structural materials thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties. NC materials demonstrate superior hardness and strength as compared with their coarse grained counterparts, but very often they possess a limited ductility or show low uniform elongation due to poor strain hardening ability. Here, we present the results of investigation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of nc Pd and Pd-x%Ag (x=20, 60) alloys. The initially coarse grained Pd-x% Ag samples were processed by high pressure torsion, which resulted in formation of homogenous ultrafine grain structure. The increase of Ag contents led to the decrease of the resulted grain size and change in deformation behavior, because of decreasing of stacking fault energy (SFE). The samples with larger Ag contents demonstrated the higher values of hardness, yield stress and ultimate stress. Remarkably the uniform elongation had also increased with increase of strength.

Ultrafine grained materials fabricated by severe plastic deformation exhibit both superior and inferior mechanical properties, as the prominent structural materials, compared to coarse grained counterparts. The superior mechanical properties are ultrahigh strength and exceptional ductility at high temperatures (i.e., superplasticity). The inferior mechanical properties are lack of strain hardenability and room temperature ductility. In this study, the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained materials fabricated by severe plastic deformation is investigated in order to provide insight broadening their future applicability.

AbstractIn this study, static, dynamic and tribological properties of ultrafine-grained (UFG) oxygen-free high thermal conductivity (OFHC) copper were investigated in detail. In order to evaluate the mechanical behaviour at different strain rates, OFHC copper was tested using two devices resulting in static and dynamic regimes. Moreover, the copper was subjected to two different processing methods, which made possible to study the influence of structure. The study of strain rate and microstructure was focused on progress in the mechanical properties after tensile tests. It was found that the strain rate is an important parameter affecting mechanical properties of copper. The ultimate tensile strength increased with the strain rate increasing and this effect was more visible at high strain rates$({\dot \varepsilon} \sim 10^2 \;{\rm{s}}^{ - 1} )$. However, the reduction of area had a different progress depending on microstructural features of materials (coarse-grained vs. ultrafine-grained structure) and introduced strain rate conditions during plastic deformation (static vs. dynamic regime). The wear behaviour of copper was investigated through pin-on-disk tests. The wear tracks examination showed that the delamination and the mild oxidational wears are the main wear mechanisms.

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.

To explore the role of dislocation slip mode playing in the size effect of mechanical behavior of metallic materials, the tensile behavior of Cu-5at.%Mn and Cu-20at.%Mn alloys with thickness (t) spanning from 0.1 to 2.0 mm is investigated. The results reveal that the yield strength σYS of Cu-5at.%Mn alloy displays an independence of thickness, whereas the ultimate tensile strength σUTS and the uniform elongation δ show an obvious size effect. The σUTS and δ first slightly decrease as t is reduced from 2.0 to 0.5 mm, but evidently drop when t is below 0.5 mm. A similar size effect is also exhibited in Cu-20at.%Mn alloy; however, the variation trend of “the smaller the weaker” in size effect can be weakened by the planar slip of dislocations occurring during the deformation of this alloy.

ABSTRACTPhase mixture models describing the mechanical properties of submicrometer grained metals are presented. In this approach, grain boundaries or cell walls are treated as a separate phase. Two cases are considered: the mechanical response of an ultrafine grained material and the process of grain refinement by equal channel angular pressing. Model predictions with regard to the evolution of the microstructure, strength and texture are verified for Cu.

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.

Recently, it becomes possible to fabricate bulk metals having ultrafine grained or nanocrystalline structures of which grain size is in nano-meter dimensions. One of the promising ways to realize bulk nanostructured metals is severe plastic deformation (SPD) above logarithmic equivalent strain of 4. We have developed an original SPD process, named Accumulative Roll Bonding (ARB) using rolling deformation in principle, and have succeeded in fabricating bulk nanostructured sheets of various kinds of metals and alloys. The ARB process and the nanostructured metals fabricated by the ARB are introduced in this paper. The nanostructured metals sometimes perform quite unique mechanical properties, that is rather surprising compared with conventionally coarse grained materials. The unique properties seem to be attributed to the characteristic structures of the nano-metals full of grain boundaries.
