镍钛形状记忆合金在热压缩变形下的动态回复和动态再结晶

通过获得镍钛形状记忆合金在应变速率(0.001～1 s-1)和变形温度(600～1000℃)下的压缩真实应力—应变曲线,研究镍钛形状记忆合金在热变形下的力学行为.通过显微组织演变研究镍钛形状记忆合金的动态回复和动态再结晶,获得应变速率、变形温度和变形程度对镍钛形状记忆合金的动态回复和动态再结晶的影响规律.镍钛形状记忆合金在600℃和700℃下,动态回复和动态再结晶共存,但在其他温度下表现出完全动态再结晶.增加变形温度或降低应变速率,导致较大的等轴晶粒.变形程度对镍钛形状记忆合金的动态再结晶具有重要的影响.在镍钛形状记忆合金的动态再结晶中存在临界变形程度,当大于临界变形程度时,较大的变形程度有助于获得细小的等轴再结晶晶粒.     

动态压缩条件下高纯钛微观组织特征研究

利用光学显微镜(OM)、背散射电子衍射(EBSD)技术及透射电子显微镜(TEM)对高纯钛低-中应变动态压缩变形的微观组织特征进行了研究。结果表明：随着应变量(ε)的增加,晶粒内部通过孪晶与孪晶,孪晶与位错以及位错与位错之间的交互作用逐步细化原始晶粒;变形初期,形变孪生以{11-22}孪晶为主,当ε达到0.2后,{10-12}孪晶转变为主要形变孪生类型,孪生改变了原始晶粒的取向,进一步促进晶粒内部的位错滑移。高纯钛动态压缩变形经历了由位错滑移到形变孪生,再到位错滑移主导的过程,但位错滑移和孪生始终共同作用协调动态压缩变形。     

Equal channel angular extrusion of NiTi shape memory alloy tube

As a new attempt, equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) of nickel–titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA) tube was investigated by means of process experiment, finite element method (FEM) and microscopy. NiTi SMA tube with the steel core in it was inserted into the steel can during ECAE of NiTi SMA tube. Based on rigid-viscoplastic FEM, multiple coupled boundary conditions and multiple constitutive models were used for finite element simulation of ECAE of NiTi SMA tube, where the effective stress field, the effective strain field and the velocity field were obtained. Finite element simulation results are in good accordance with the experimental ones. Finite element simulation results reveal that the velocity field shows the minimum value in the corner of NiTi SMA tube, where severe shear deformation occurs. Microstructural observation results reveal that severe plastic deformation leads to a certain grain orientation as well as occurrence of substructures in the grain interior and dynamic recovery occurs during ECAE of NiTi SMA tube. ECAE of NiTi SMA tube provides a new approach to manufacturing ultrafine-grained NiTi SMA tube.     

Deformation twins in nanocrystalline body-centered cubic Mo as predicted by molecular dynamics simulations

This work studies deformation twins in nanocrystalline body-centered cubic Mo, including the nucleation and growth mechanisms as well as their effects on ductility, through molecular dynamics simulations. The deformation processes of nanocrystalline Mo are simulated using a columnar grain model with three different orientations. The deformation mechanisms identified, including dislocation slip, grain-boundary-mediated plasticity, deformation twins and martensitic transformation, are in agreement with previous studies. In 〈1 1 0〉 columnar grains, the deformation is dominated by twinning, which nucleates primarily from the grain boundaries by successive emission of twinning partials and thickens by jog nucleation in the grain interiors. Upon arrest by a grain boundary, the twin may either produce continuous plastic strain across the grain boundary by activating compatible twinning/slip systems or result in intergranular failure in the absence of compatible twinning/slip systems in the neighboring grain. Multiple twinning systems can be activated in the same grain, and the competition between them favors those capable of producing continuous deformation across the grain boundary.     

Crystallization of amorphous NiTi shape memory alloy fabricated by severe plastic deformation

Based on the local canning compression, severe plastic deformation (SPD) is able to lead to the almost complete amorphous nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi SMA), in which a small amount of retained nanocrystalline phase is embedded in the amorphous matrix. Crystallization of amorphous NiTi alloy annealed at 573, 723 and 873 K was investigated, respectively. The crystallization kinetics of the amorphous NiTi alloy can be mathematically described by the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation. NiTi SMA with a complete nanocrystalline phase is obtained in the case of annealing at 573 K and 723 K, where martensite phase transformation is suppressed due to the constraint of the grain boundaries. Crystallization of amorphous NiTi alloy at 873 K leads to the coarse-grained NiTi sample, where (001) martensite compound twin is observed at room temperature. It can be found that the martensitic twins preferentially nucleate at the grain boundary and they grow up towards the two different grains. SPD based on the local canning compression and subsequent annealing provides a new approach to obtain the nanocrystalline NiTi SMA.     

Deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline palladium at large strains

The mechanical behaviour and microstructure evolution of nanocrystalline palladium was investigated. Material with an initial grain size ～10 nm was prepared by inert gas condensation. Instrumented high-pressure torsion straining was used to characterize the flow stress during plastic deformation to shear strains up to 300. A change in primary deformation mechanism was induced by stress-induced grain growth. For grain sizes <40 nm, grain boundary mediated processes (shear banding, grain boundary sliding and grain rotation) controlled the deformation, with dislocation slip, twinning, and grain boundary diffusion providing the accommodation. For larger grain sizes, the operative deformation mechanism was dislocation slip.     

铸态镍钛形状记忆合金压缩变形行为及组织演变(英文)

通过真空自耗电极电弧熔炼法制备等原子比镍钛形状记忆合金铸锭。应用差示扫描量热分析、X射线衍射分析、能谱分析和显微分析等技术研究铸态镍钛形状记忆合金在不同温度和不同应变速率压缩加载下的组织演变和变形行为。铸态镍钛形状记忆合金的显微组织由树枝晶和等轴晶组成,成分不均匀,存在偏析。在室温下,铸态镍钛形状记忆合金是B19′马氏体、B2奥氏体和Ti2Ni的混合物。铸态镍钛形状记忆合金在高温压缩变形下对应变速率敏感,铸态镍钛形状记忆合金在0.1s-1和0.01s-1应变速率下具有动态再结晶的特征,而在0.001s-1应变速率下则表现出动态回复的特征。在室温和-100°C时,应变速率对铸态镍钛形状记忆合金的显微组织和真实应力应变曲线影响不大。     

晶界对近片层TiAl高温动态力学行为的数值模拟

基于晶体塑性理论,给出了同时考虑位错滑移、形变孪晶和晶界变形的近片层组织TiAl本构模型;在此基础上,建立基于Voronoi算法的近层片TiAl三维多晶有限元模型,并在晶粒交界处引入壳单元来描述晶界;利用上述有限元模型,对不同温度(室温、500和700℃)和不同拉伸应变率(10-3、320、800和1 350 s-1)下近层片TiAl的塑性力学行为进行数值模拟。结果显示:模拟得到的应力塑性应变曲线与试验结果吻合较好,能够反映近层片TiAl在不同温度和应变率下的材料响应;由于晶界的存在,晶粒内的应力分布会发生明显改变,晶界附近产生一定的应力集中。此外,晶界对孪晶存在一定的阻碍作用,使得晶界附近实体单元的孪晶体积分数要略低于多晶整体的平均孪晶体积分数。     

Correlation of plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization in magnesium alloy ZK60

The mechanisms of plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in a Mg–5.8% Zn–0.65% Zr alloy were studied by compression tests at temperatures between 423 and 723 K and at strain rates ranging from 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻¹ s⁻¹. It was shown that the mechanisms of DRX depended on the operating deformation mechanisms which changed with temperature. Low-temperature DRX (LTDRX below 473 K) was associated with the operation of twinning, basal slip and (a+c) dislocation glide. In the intermediate temperature range (473–523 K) continuous DRX (CDRX) was observed and associated with extensive cross-slip due to the Friedel–Escaig mechanism. At temperatures ranging from 573 to 723 K both bulging of original grain boundaries and subgrain growth were the operating DRX mechanisms and controlled by dislocation climb.     

Twinning during hot compression of ZK30 ＋ 0.3Yb magnesium alloy

The twinning process of ZK30＋0.3Yb magnesium alloy was studied. The results show that twinning occurs at the initial stage of deformation, and decreases during further deformation. The original grain is fragmented after small straining. It is investigated that the twinning boundary activates the occurrence of the non-basal slip system due to the stress concentration at the vicinity of twin boundary introduced by the dislocation pile-ups at the vicinity of twinning boundary. The rearrangement of dislocation after dislocation climb introduces new grain boundary. Simultaneously, twinning occurs to form “polygonization” due to the stress concentration relaxation, and the “polygonization” will transform into low angle boundary to refine the original grain under the shear stress with further straining.     

Evaluating the Plastic Anisotropy of AZ31 Using Microscopy Techniques

The tensile deformation mechanism of a rolled AZ31 alloy at 50°C, 150°C, and 250°C was investigated by a combination of in situ tensile testing, electron backscatter diffraction analysis, and ex situ atomic force microscopy analysis. With increasing temperature, there was a significant difference in the activity of the various deformation modes, along with a decrease in the plastic strain ratio. Extension twinning was only observed at 50°C, while at higher temperatures, a combination of basal and prismatic slip accounted for a large percentage of the observed deformation activity. Prismatic slip was prevalent at all testing temperatures and exhibited increased activity with increasing temperature. The activity of pyramidal 〈c + a〉 slip increased from 50°C to 150°C and then decreased at 250°C. Ex situ atomic force microscopy measurements suggested that the contribution from grain boundary sliding to the overall strains increased with increasing temperature. Overall, the in situ experiments combined with atomic force microscopy suggested that grain boundary sliding contributed more to the reduction in plastic strain ratio with increasing temperature than nonbasal slip activity.     

AZ31镁合金挤压板材的中温变形机理及软化机制(英文)

研究AZ31镁合金挤压板材在473～523K的温度范围内。应变速率0.001～1.0s-1压缩时的流变应力行为,计算板材沿挤压方向压缩时的激活能,并结合光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜探讨合金软化机制和变形机理之间的联系。结果表明,在中温下沿挤压方向压缩时,AZ31挤压态镁合金的变形激活能为174.18kJ/mol。这说明,由热激活位错交滑移所控制的动态再结晶是合金中温变形的主要软化机制。位错滑移是中温变形的主要变形机理,而孪生的作用则不大。其主要的动态再结晶机制为持续动态再结晶,并伴随少量的孪生动态再结晶。     

GH690合金拉伸变形行为的温度敏感性

通过拉伸试验研究了GH690合金从298～623K的变形行为,用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜观察了变形组织。结果表明,合金在298K拉伸时能够通过孪生协调变形,生成的形变孪晶阻碍了位错的滑移,从而使合金获得了较高的加工硬化速率,导致合金的强度和塑性较高。随着形变温度的升高,合金通过孪生协调变形的能力降低,变形机制由孪生转变为滑移,滑移产生的加工硬化效应小于孪生,因此合金的强度和塑性随之降低。

晶粒组元沿晶界旋转的铜双晶在循环变形中的滑移形貌与位错组态

对晶粒组元因晶体生长时沿晶界发生旋转的铜双晶体进行了恒定塑性应变幅下的循环形变研究,塑性应变幅为1.5X10-3通过扫描电子显微镜-电子通道衬度技术（SEM-ECC）对滑移形貌和位错组态的演化进行了观察,发现由于晶粒内部的几何效应使沿晶界的位错组态随着晶粒的旋转方向的变化也相应发生变化,逐渐表现为由滑移带与晶界的相互作用过渡到形变带与晶界的相互作用.形变带Ⅱ（DB Ⅱ）对于主滑移有着明显的阻碍作用.晶界无位错区（DFZ）伴随着形变带Ⅱ在晶界的出现而产生.胞状结构的形成是由于次滑移系的开动使形变带Ⅱ中的位错墙结构先破坏而后形成.
