The effect of stress state on high-temperature deformation of fine-grained aluminum–magnesium alloy AA5083 sheet

The effect of stress state on high-temperature deformation of fine-grained aluminum–magnesium alloy AA5083 sheet is investigated over a range of temperatures and strain rates for which the grain-boundary-sliding and solute-drag creep mechanisms govern plastic flow. Experimental data from uniaxial tension and biaxial tension are used in conjunction with finite-element-method simulations to examine the role of stress state. Three different material constitutive models derived from uniaxial tensile data are used to simulate bulge-forming experiments. Comparison of simulation results with bulge-forming data indicates that stress state affects grain-boundary-sliding creep by increasing creep rate as hydrostatic stress increases. Thus, creep deformation is faster under biaxial tension than under uniaxial tension for a constant effective stress. No effect of stress state is observed for solute-drag creep. A new material model that accounts for the effect of stress state on grain-boundary-sliding creep is proposed.     

Diffraction measurements of elastic strains in stainless steel subjected to in situ biaxial loading

The lattice strains in AL6XN stainless steel specimens subjected to in situ biaxial stress states have been measured by neutron diffraction. The biaxial stress states were generated in tubular specimens using a specially designed loading apparatus that is capable of applying axial loads to specimens under internal pressure. Lattice strains in the axial and hoop directions were measured for different levels of stress biaxiality in numerous loaded and partially unloaded states. The results revealed the role of the biaxial stress state in the differences in average lattice strains between various crystallographic fibers. These trends are examined in light of the orientational dependencies of the lattice strains on the stress biaxiality under an assumption of uniform stress. Possible additional factors contributing to the observed trends are discussed.     

Creep-induced local lattice parameter changes in a monocrystalline nickel-base superalloy

The γ-γ lattice mismatch of specimens of the monocrystalline nickel-base superalloy SRR 99 has been measured by a high-resolution X-ray diffraction technique for the undeformed state and after high-tem-perature creep deformation. During creep deformation beyond the minimum creep rate (total strain =0.5%), the lattice mismatches, measured in and perpendicular to the [001] stress axis, respectively, un-dergo changes in opposite directions. This reflects the buildup of a complex deformation-induced triaxial state of internal stress in the phases y and γ. The overall resolved shear stresses that act in γ and y due to the combined action of the external and internal stresses are estimated, and the conditions under which cutting of the γ phase by dislocations should occur are discussed.     

缺口对GH3536镍基高温合金蠕变性能的影响

针对GH3536镍基高温合金无应力集中和带典型应力集中圆棒试样在160,200,240 MPa应力条件下的高温(750℃)蠕变性能进行了试验和有限元分析,研究了缺口的存在对材料蠕变性能的影响。采用扫描电镜分析了试样断口的形貌,确定了材料的断裂机制。结果表明:缺口的存在对GH3536镍基高温合金试件的蠕变性能影响较大,其降低了试件的最大蠕变应变及在蠕变各个阶段的蠕变速率。缺口对试件的蠕变寿命存在硬化作用,缺口根部轴向应力的再分配和松弛可简单认为是导致缺口对该合金蠕变寿命起硬化作用的影响因素。断口形貌分析表明由于缺口的存在,2种试件的表面形貌虽有不同,但蠕变断裂机理都是由微孔洞不断增大与聚集引起的。

纳米压痕法测量锌铝钎料的室温蠕变应力指数

利用纳米压痕技术,采用恒加载速率法,研究了Zn-22Al和Zn-22Al-0.03Ti钎料的室温蠕变行为,并对相关数据进行了测量和计算.结果表明,室温时任一载荷条件下保载时,钎料均发生了明显的蠕变行为.其中Zn-22Al-0.03Ti钎料的压入深度和蠕变位移均小于Zn-22Al钎料,最大差值分别为15.68％和26.87％.相同保载时间不同载荷保载时,两种钎料的蠕变位移均有较大差异.通过拟合计算分别获得了两种钎料室温时的蠕变应力指数,Zn-22Al-0.03Ti较Zn-22Al提高了35.79％.分析认为,Ti元素的添加导致了Zn-22Al钎料晶粒的细化,从而产生了更多的晶界是导致钎料室温抗蠕变能力提高的主要原因.     

P91钢焊接接头Ⅳ型裂纹力学控制参量有限元模拟

采用有限元方法对马氏体耐热钢（P91）焊接接头在温度为600℃、应力为80MPa下的最大主应力、von Mises等效应力、等效蠕变应变和应力三轴度进行了数值模拟.结果表明,在接头上下坡口交界处细晶热影响区（FGHAZ）两侧的最大主应力和von Mises等效应力很高,蠕变变形主要集中在FGHAZ,等效蠕变应变的最大值位于FGHAZ的底部.受焊缝和母材的强烈拘束,上下坡口交界处FGHAZ内应力三轴度最大,容易形成蠕变裂纹,导致接头蠕变开裂.数值模拟结果与试验获得的IV型裂纹产生、扩展结果一致.因此采用应力三轴度表征IV型裂纹开裂比较合理.     

加载速率对Al膜纳米压入蠕变性能的影响

纳米压入仪对Si片上晶Al膜进行的压入蠕变实验表明,加载方式对Al膜的蠕变性能有明显影响.随加载速率和载荷的增大, Al膜的总蠕变量和应力指数均有较大升高 且蠕变初期可能存在异常高蠕变率.分析认为这与是加载过程中未及发生的塑性变形的持续释放有关.对于确定的薄膜材荆及组织结构,加载过程中积攒的塑性变形量及其释放速率将影响不同加载条件下的总蠕变量和应力指数.     

泡沫金属在单、双向载荷作用下的拉伸破坏行为初探

NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE NOTCH EFFECT ON THE CREEP BEHAVIOR AND LIFE OF NICKEL-BASE SINGLE CRYSTAL SUPERALLOYS

Numerical calculations of creep damage development and life behavior of circular notched specimens of nickel-base single crystal had been performed. The creep stress distributions depend on the specimen geometry. For a small notch radius, von Mises stress has an especial distribution. The damage distribution is greatly influenced by the notch depth, notch radius as well as notch type. The creep crack initiation place is different for each notched specimen. The characteristics of notch strengthening and notch weakening depend on the notch radius and notch type. For the same notch type, the creep rupture lives decrease with the decreasing of notch radius. A creep life model has been presented for the multiaxial stress states based on the crystallographic slip system theory.     

Assessment of Multiaxial Mechanical Response of Rigid Polyurethane Foams

Multiaxial deformation behavior and failure surface of rigid polyurethane foams were determined using standard experimental facilities. Two commercial foams of different densities were assayed under uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial stress states. These different stress states were reached in a uniaxial universal testing machine using suitable testing configurations which imply the use of special grips and lateral restricted samples. Actual strains were monitored with a video extensometer. Polyurethane foams exhibited typical isotropic brittle behavior, except under compressive loads where the response turned out to be ductile. A general failure surface in the stress space which accounts for density effects could be successfully generated. All of failure data, determined at the loss of linear elasticity point, collapsed in a single locus defined as the combination of a brittle crushing of closed-cell cellular materials criterion capped by an elastic buckling criterion.     

DETERMINATION OF CREEP PROPERTIES OF THERMAL BARRIER COATING（TBC） SYSTEMS FROM THE INDENTATION CREEP TESTING WITH ROUND FLAT INDENTERS

Indentation creep behavior with cylindrical flat indenters on the thermal barrier coating (TBC) was studied by finite element method (FEM). On the constant applied indentation creep stress, there is a steady creep rate for each case studied for different creep properties of the TBC system. The steady creep depth rate depends on the applied indentation creep stress and size of the indenters as well as the creep properties of the bond coat of the TBC and the substrate. The possibilities to determine the creep properties of a thermal barrier system from indention creep testing were discussed. As an example, with two different size indenters, the creep properties of bond coat of the TBC system can be derived by an inverse FEM method. This study not only provides a numerical method to obtain the creep properties of the TBC system, but also extends the application of indentation creep method with cylindrical flat indenters.     

The effect of grain size and stability on ambient temperature tensile and creep deformation in metastable beta titanium alloys

The effect of grain size in the range of 100–500 μm on the ambient temperature tensile and creep deformation behavior was investigated in a metastable Ti–9.4 wt% Mn alloy at 95% yield stress. It was observed that, as grain size increases the creep strain increases, the slip lines become coarser and the density of slip increases. An interrupt creep test showed that new slip lines were generated with time and most of the deformation occurred during the first few hours of testing. The effect of β-phase stability was studied by comparing the creep and tensile behavior of Ti–9.4 wt% Mn in this study, with previously reported results obtained for Ti–14.8 wt% V and Ti–13.0 wt% Mn at ambient (room) temperature. The Molybdenum Equivalency, which is a measure of the stability of these alloys, are 9.9, 14.3, and 19.9, respectively. The main mode of deformation in Ti–9.4 wt% Mn alloy was observed to be slip. The modes of deformation changed with the increase in stability from slip accompanied by Stress Induced Plate formation to only slip. It was also found that metastable ω-phase was present in lower stable alloys, irrespective of the observed mode of deformation. At 95% yield stress, the amount of creep strain in 200 h was found to increase with a decrease in stability of the β-phase.     

High temperature deformation mechanism and evolution of dislocation structure during creep of Ni-Base superalloy 713LC

Creep deformation of cast nickel base superalloy 713LC has been investigated in a temperature range of 723 to 982°C. The values of the stress exponent and activation energy for creep of the alloy vary with a combination of temperature and stress. Introduction of threshold stress for creep of the alloy provided an explanation of the high values of the stress exponent and the apparent activation energy. Microstructural evolution of the alloy with creep deformation has also been studied. The analysis of the creep mechanism has been supplemented by microstructural observations after deformation under various test conditions. The dislocation structure of the alloy at high temperature and low stress was different from that at low temperature and high stress. Shearing of γ′ particles by dislocation pairs was the dominant creep mechanism at low temperature and high stress whereas dislocation climb over γ′ particles was the rate controlling process of creep at high temperature and low stress.

定向凝固NiAl-28Cr-5.8Mo-0.2Hf合金的高温拉伸蠕变行为

研究了定向凝固NiAl-28Cr-5.8Mo-0.2Hf合金的显微组织和在982－1100℃,50-124MPa应力下的高温蠕变行为，该合金是由NiAl相。Cr(Mo)相和少量Hf的固溶体相组成。蠕变测试结果表明：蠕变曲线是由较短的减速蠕变阶段和较长的加速蠕变阶段组成，且蠕变后的显微组织变化不大，蠕变变形机制是由位错攀移机制所控制。加强蠕变阶段蠕变速率的增加是由于裂纹的形成与扩展引起的。     

铌含量对Mo-Nb合金单晶高温抗内压蠕变性能的影响

采用内部气体介质对管状样品施加双向载荷对铌含量分别为3%及6%(质量分数,下同)的国产Mo-Nb合金单晶的抗内压蠕变性能进行研究。结果表明,随着溶质原子铌含量的增加,Mo-Nb合金单晶的抗内压蠕变性能增强,稳态蠕变速率及对应力的敏感性降低。随着铌含量的增加,铌的固溶强化作用明显增强,在Mo-Nb合金单晶中形成了更多的位错多边结构使得富铌析出物形状发生变化。这些因素都使得钼基体原子的扩散受到更加明显的阻碍,Mo-Nb合金单晶高温抗内压蠕变性能更加优越。
