Strain Path Change

The effect of strain path change on formability of TRIP590 and TRIP780 was investigated experimentally. Two-step uniaxial tension tests, which consist of the first loading in the rolling direction (RD) and the second loading in the directions varied from RD to transverse direction (TD) in every 15º, were conducted. The evolution of strain rates inside and outside the localized necking zone were inspected by using DIC measuring technique. When the angle between the two loading directions was increased from 0º to 90 º, the subsequent hardening behavior in second step was transited from cross-loading type to Bauschinger type. The total elongation was increased when the two loading directions are close to each other and then it was decreased with the increase of angle. When the angle further increased to 90 º, the total elongation is increased again. It is believed that both of the martensite transformation and Bauschinger type transient has a positive impact on the formability of TRIP steels.

Strain Path Changes

The variation of strain paths induces anisotropy during practical sheet forming processes, which is very important for the subsequent processing technology of anisotropic Mg alloys. In this study, two-step loading tests (tension-tension) were performed to clarify the effect of strain path changes on the evolution of anisotropy on rolled AZ31 sheet. Specimens were preloaded with tension along the rolling direction (RD) with 9% of prestrain. Then, second tension was conducted along 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° from the RD. It was found that yield strength during the second loading increased along the same direction compared to uniaxial tension without prestraining. For the second loading, the yield strength and flow stress decreased with the increase of the angle from the RD. It was found that the strain path change resulted in stronger anisotropy than that induced by texture. Moreover, it was found that the main deformation modes were basal and prismatic slips during the second loading based on visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) modeling. The relative activities of basal and prismatic slips were affected by the second loading direction due to texture evolution. The mechanical anisotropy induced by strain path changes was ascribed to the coupling of the heterogeneous distribution of dislocations and texture evolution induced by prestraining.

Strain Path Change

Sequences of fatigue-tension tests were performed on copper polycrystal sheet, with 32µm mean grain size. The effect of strain path change on subsequent reloading yield stress as well as work hardening rate has been investigated. Dislocation microstructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy after mechanical tests. Under present conditions, it was found that fatigue prestraining caused the increase of reloading yield stress, larger amplitude of strain path change resulted in higher reloading yield stress and lower work hardening rate. Reloading tensile curves are independent of predeformation plastic strain amplitudes in both cases. Many isolated dislocation lines between cell walls have been detected for Φ=0° case when the subsequent tension strain amount is 5%, this can be well understood from the microscopic dislocation slip mechanisms. When the reloading tension tests have been done until rupture, dislocation structures become typical of monotonic tension without preloading. The correlation of mechanical properties and microstructural observations was discussed in this paper.

Characteristic Features

Tensile tests have been carried out in the rolling and transverse directions of 'interstitialfree' (IF) steel cold rolled to a strain of εh= -0.18. Tests in the transverse direction showed the characteristic features of the orthogonal strain path change effect, with an initially increased flow stress- compared to tests in the rolling direction- followed by a transient regime of very low strain hardening. Tests were also carried out following recovery annealing of the prestrained sheet at 500°C and 600°C. Static recovery had a marked effect on the strain-induced anisotropy, but this was not eliminated even when the cell structure generated by prestraining haD condensed to one consisting of low-angle boundaries. This supports the view that the length scale, with respect to active slip systems, between boundary obstacles is a significant factor in the orthogonal path change effect.

Laser irradiation is a popular method to produce microtextures on metal surfaces. However, the common laser-produced microtextures were hierarchical (multiscale), which may limit their applicability. In this paper, a method of two-step laser irradiation, combining first-step strong ablation and sequentially second-step gentle ablation, was presented to produce micron-rough surface with single-scale microtextures. The effect of laser fluence on the Ti–6Al–4V surface morphology and wettability were investigated in detail. The morphology results revealed that the microtextures produced using this method gradually evolved from multiscale to single-scale meanwhile from microprotrusions to microholes with increasing the second-step laser fluence from 0.0 to 2.4 J/cm2. The wettability and EDS/XPS results indicated that attributing to the rich TiO2 content and micron roughness produced by laser irradiation, all the two-step laser-irradiated surfaces exhibited superhydrophilicity. In addition, after silanization, all these superhydrophilic surfaces immediately turned to be superhydrophobic with close water contact angles of 155–162°. However, due to the absence of nanotextures, the water-rolling angle on the superhydrophobic surfaces with single-scale microtextures distinctly larger than those with multiscale ones. Finally, using the two-step laser-irradiation method and assisted with silanization, multifunctional superhydrophobic Ti–6Al–4V surfaces were achieved, including self-cleaning, guiding of the water-rolling direction and anisotropic water-rolling angles (like the rice-leaf), etc.

The coefficient of permeability of hydraulic asphalt concrete is in the range 10−8–10−10 cm/s. Laboratory test results show that triaxial specimens in axial compression can undergo axial strains up to 18% without any significant increase in permeability until approaching the compressive strength. For temperatures between 5 and 20 °C and strain rates between 2 × 10−3%/s and 5 × 10−3%/s, conventional hydraulic asphalt concrete can tolerate 1%–3% tensile strains before cracking in direct tension tests and strains up to 3%–4% in bending. At 20 °C the tensile and bending strains at cracking are 2–4 times higher than those at 0 °C, and at −20 °C they are approximately 0.2% and 0.8%, respectively. Asphalt concrete possesses pronounced crack self-healing properties. In the experiments, the crack leakage rate dropped 1–4 orders of magnitude within a few hours and the cracked specimens regained 55% of the intact tensile strength after only 1 day of self-healing. In summary, the comprehensive series of laboratory tests documents that asphalt concrete has characteristics that make the material extremely well suited for use in impervious barriers in dams, and the test results reported herein can be of great use in barrier design.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the orthotropic plastic behaviour of the cold-rolled interstitial free steel HC260Y when it is submitted to various loading directions under monotonic tests. The experimental database included tensile tests carried out on specimens (in the as-received condition and after undergoing an annealing heat treatment) cut in different orientations according to the rolling direction. A model was proposed, depending on a plasticity criterion, a hardening law and an evolution law, which takes into account the anisotropy of the material. To validate the proposed identification strategy, a comparison with the experimental results of the planar tension tests, carried out on specimens cut parallel to the rolling direction, was considered. The obtained results allowed the prediction of the behaviour of this material when it is subjected to other solicitations whether simple or compound.

Zn Alloys

The use of Cu and Ti in Zn alloys improves mechanical properties as solid solution and dispersoid particles (grain refiners) may harden the material and reduce creep deformation. This is one of the main design problems for parts made with Zn alloys, even at room temperature. In this work the mechanical behavior of a Zn-Cu-Ti low alloy is presented using tensile tests at different strain rates, as well as creep tests at different loads to obtain the value of the strain rate coefficient m in samples parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction of the Zn strip. The microstructure of the alloy in its raw state, as well as heat treated at 250°C, is also analyzed, as the banded structure produced by rolling influences the strengthening mechanisms that can be achieved through the treatment parameters.
