挤压态AZ31合金小应变变形时的孪生行为

在室温下对挤压态AZ31合金沿棒材径向进行拉伸变形（RDT试样）和沿挤压方向进行压缩变形（EDC试样）,2种变形应变速率均为10^-4 s^-1。采用金相显微镜（OM）和背散射电子衍射（EBSD）研究了变形过程中合金的孪生行为。结果表明：拉伸孪晶影响了合金的屈服点,EDC试样的屈服点为139 MPa,高于RDT试样的屈服点88 MPa。2种变形应力状态下,随应变增加,合金的应变硬化速率都是先快速下降,但EDC试样的硬化速率随后明显上升,并一直持续到断裂,而RDT试样则几乎保持稳定的硬化速率。EDC试样硬化速率的升高与合金中产生大量的拉伸孪晶以及孪晶织构诱导的滑移行为有关。基于EBSD测试结果,给出了一种计算晶粒内孪晶体积分数的方法,得出RDT试样在应变为0.04时,（0002）晶粒中拉伸孪晶体积分数约为45%。

将工业纯钛（CP-Ti）板轧制至不同程度,随后进行退火以及进行20%的再轧制。通过电子背散射衍射（EBSD）对合金微观组织的变化进行表征。重新轧制后,｛112｝<23>压缩孪晶和｛102｝<101>拉伸孪晶产生。可以观察到孪晶的层状结构,这是由变形孪晶的缠结以及二次和三次孪晶的产生引起的。平均晶粒尺寸和孪晶量之间没有简单的关联。0.5 h退火样品中的晶粒尺寸随其预变形程度的增加而显著减小。重新轧制倾向于使晶格的重新取向更接近法线方向。虽然织构变化和孪晶体积分数很小,但平行于RD方向的｛100｝纤维织构仍然保留。     

新型钛合金Ti-555热变形行为及热加工图研究

Impact mechanical response and microstructural evolution of Ti alloy under various temperatures

A compressive split-Hopkinson pressure bar and transmission electron microscope (TEM) are used to investigate the mechanical behaviour and microstructural evolution of a Ti alloy (Ti–1.1Mo–5.2Zr–2.9Al–0.35Fe–0.05N–0.20 O–0.02H in wt.%) deformed at strain rates ranging from 8 × 10² s^?1 to 8 × 10³ s^?1 and temperatures between 25 °C and 900 °C. In general, the results indicate that the mechanical behaviour and microstructural evolution of the alloy are highly sensitive to both the strain rate and the temperature conditions. The flow stress curves are found to include both a work-hardening region and a work-softening region. The strain rate sensitivity parameter, β, increases with increasing strain and strain rate, but decreases with increasing temperature. The activation energy varies inversely with the flow stress, and has a low value at high deformation strain rates or low temperatures. The microstructural observations reveal that the strengthening effect evident in the deformed alloy is a result primarily of dislocations and the formation of α phase. The dislocation density increases with increasing strain rate, but decreases with increasing temperature. Additionally, the square root of the dislocation density varies linearly with the flow stress. Correlating the mechanical properties of the current Ti alloy with the TEM observations, it is concluded that the precipitation of α phase dominates the fracture strain. TEM observations reveal that the amount of α phase increases with increasing temperature below the β transus temperature. The maximum amount of α phase is formed at a temperature of 700 °C and results in the minimum fracture strain under the current loading conditions.

Hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of beta C titanium alloy in β phase field

The hot deformation behavior of beta C titanium alloy in β phase field was investigated by isothermal compression tests on a Gleeble–3800 thermomechanical simulator. The constitutive equation describing the hot deformation behavior was obtained and a processing map was established at the true strain of 0.7. The microstructure was characterized by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) technique. The results show that the flow stress increases with increasing strain rates, and decreases with increasing experimental temperatures. The calculated apparent activation energy (167 kJ/mol) is close to that of self-diffusion in β titanium. The processing map and microstructure observation exhibit a dynamic recrystallization domain in the temperature range of 900–1000 °C and strain rate range of 0.1–1 s⁻¹. An instability region exists when the strain rate is higher than 1.7 s⁻¹. The microstructure of beta C titanium alloy can be optimized by proper heat treatments after the deformation in the dynamic recrystallization domain.     

On the origin of acoustic emission during room temperature compressive deformation of a γ-TiAl based alloy

In this study a two-phase γ-TiAl based alloy with near gamma microstructure was deformed in uniaxial compression at room temperature. The deformation experiments were carried out at a strain rate of 2×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹. The acoustic emission during deformation was monitored continuously using a root mean square voltmeter. Different annealing experiments between deformation cycles combined with transmission electron microscopy investigations revealed the formation of mechanical twins as the decisive mechanism for the acoustic emission.     

Superplastic behavior of a TiAl-based alloy

Superplastic behavior under the conditions of a temperature range from 850 to 1075°C and strain rates varying from 8×10⁻⁵ to 1×10⁻³ s⁻¹ was investigated for Ti–33Al–3Cr–0.5Mo (wt%) alloy with a very fine grain size obtained by the multi-step thermal mechanical treatment. The results show that the TiAl-based alloy with a hot-deformed fine grain size possesses good superplasticity. It exhibits a strain rate sensitivity coefficient of 0.9 at a strain rate of 3×10⁻⁵ s⁻¹ and temperature from 1000 to 1075°C. Moreover, the strain rate sensitivity coefficient is stable during the hot deformation, and a tensile elongation of 517% was obtained at 1075°C and a strain rate of 8×10⁻⁵ s⁻¹. The superplastic behavior of the present fine-grained TiAl-based alloy can be explained by the local strain hardening and high m value during the tensile deformation. Microstructure evolution in the superplastic deformation was also discussed.     

High temperature deformation behaviors of Ti-45Al-2Nb-1.5V-1Mo-Y alloy

The high temperature deformation behaviors of Ti-45Al-2Nb-1.5V-1Mo-Y alloy were investigated in the temperature range 1100–1250 °C and the strain rate range 0.001–1.0 s^?1. The true stress-strain curves exhibit typical work hardening and flow softening features; The peak stress of current alloy decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, which can be represented by a hyperbolic sine equation using the Zener-Hollomon parameter. Thanks to the additions of element Mo and V, and the resulting B2 phase, this alloy possesses a low activation energy value of 370 kJ/mol, as well as a wide processing window of temperature above 1150 °C and strain rate under 0.1 s^?1. The deformed microstructure consists of dominated DRX areas plus several remnant lamellar colonies; the inhomogeneous deformation microstructure is ascribed to the anisotropic plastic flow of lamellar colonies. By TEM observation and EBSD analysis further, the deformation mechanism of current alloy is concluded as dislocation slip and mechanical twins.     

Strain-dependent constitutive analysis of hot deformation and hot workability of T4-treated ZK60 magnesium alloy

The hot deformation behavior of T4-treated ZK60 magnesium alloy was investigated in a compression test conducted with a thermo-mechanical simulator at a temperature range of 523 K to 673 K and a strain rate of 0.001 s^?1 to 1 s^?1. The results show that the flow stress increases as the deformation temperature decreases and the strain rate increases. Strain-dependent constitutive relationships were developed using regression method and artificial neural network, and good agreements between the experimentally measured values and the predicted ones were achieved. The work hardening analysis and onset of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) were investigated. The processing map reveals a domain of DRX at the temperature range of 620–673 K and strain rate range of 0.001–0.01 s^?1, with its peak efficiency of 32% at 623 K and 0.001 s^?1, which are the optimum values of the parameters for hot working of the T4-treated ZK60 alloy. The strain level has a great effect on the processing maps and lower temperatures and higher strain rates should be avoided during hot working processes. DRX model indicates that DRX of ZK60 alloy is controlled by the rate of nucleation, which is slower than the rate of migration.
