变形温度与应变速率耦合作用对TWIP效应Ti-15Mo合金力学性能的影响EI北大核心CSCD

变形温度和应变速率均影响β型钛合金的力学性能,且其影响均关联塑性变形过程中变形方式的变化。利用TEM,EBSD,SEM,XRD,OM和拉伸试验机研究变形温度和应变速率耦合作用对{332}〈113〉孪生诱发塑性效应Ti-15Mo合金力学性能的影响。结果表明:在298 K和573 K下,屈服强度均随应变速率的增加逐渐升高,即依赖于位错热激活过程,且573 K下显著的位错热激活作用使得屈服强度表现出更大的应变速率依赖性。不同于298 K下,Ti-15Mo合金在573 K下通过{332}〈113〉孪生和位错滑移耦合变形;构建的流变应力模型表明位错强化成为其主要强化方式。高应变速率下,塑性变形早期形成的更多孪晶虽然会抑制孪生的进一步产生降低加工硬化率,但同时有效降低位错不均匀分布引起的局部应力集中延缓颈缩的发生;两个方面的共同作用使得Ti-15Mo合金在变形温度和应变速率耦合作用下呈现出更小的应变速率依赖性。     

Study on hot deformation behaviour of 316LN austenitic stainless steel based on hot processing map

Abstract

316LN is a type of austenitic stainless steel whose grain refinement only depends on hot deformation. The true stress–strain curves of 316LN were obtained by means of hot compression experiments conducted at a temperature range of 900–1200°C and at a strain rate range of 0·001–10 s^?1. The influence of deformation parameters on the microstructure of 316LN was analysed. Both the constitutive equation for 316LN and the model of grain size after dynamic recrystallisation were established, and the effect of different deformation conditions on the microstructure was analysed. The results show that the suitable working region is the one with a relatively higher deformation temperature and a lower strain rate, in which the dynamic recrystallisation is finely conducted. Moreover, the working region that should be avoided during hot deformation was indicated.     

Orientation and strain rate dependent tensile behavior of single crystal titanium nanowires by molecular dynamics simulations

Molecular dynamics simulation was employed to study the tensile behavior of single crystal titanium nanowires(NWs)with1120,1100and[0001]orientations at different strain rates from 10~8s~(-1)to10~(11)s~(-1).When strain rates are above 10~(10)s~(-1),the state transformation from HCP structure to amorphous state leads to super plasticity of Ti NWs,which is similar to FCC NWs.When strain rates are below 10~(10)s~(-1),deformation mechanisms of Ti NWs show strong dependence on orientation.For1120orientated NW,1011compression twins(CTs)and the frequently activated transformation between CTs and deformation faults lead to higher plasticity than the other two orientated NWs.Besides,tensile deformation process along1120orientation is insensitive to strain rate.For 1100orientated NW,prismaticaslip is the main deformation mode at 10~8s~(-1).As the strain rate increases,more types of dislocations are activated during plastic deformation process.For[0001]orientated NW,1012extension twinning is the main deformation mechanism,inducing the yield stress of[0001]orientated NW,which has the highest strain rate sensitivity.The number of initial nucleated twins increases while the saturation twin volume fraction decreases nonlinearly with increasing strain rate.     

Strain rate-dependent hardening with dislocation-twin interaction of Fe–Mn–Al–C steel using crystal plasticity

A crystal plasticity finite element model with dislocation-twin interaction was developed to study the strain rate-dependent hardening of Fe–Mn–Al–C twinning-induced plasticity steel. Microstructural state variables including twinning space and dislocation density were incorporated to describe the mechanical twins hindering gliding dislocations. In situ scanning electron microscope tension and electron backscatter diffraction tests were conducted as validation and supplement. Predicted stress and strain hardening rate at various strain rates agree well with the experimental results. The increasing strain hardening stage is attributed to the dynamic competition between deformation twinning and dynamic recovery of dislocations. The intergranular deformation heterogeneity associated with the competitive activities of deformation mechanisms was also studied. The results indicate a larger contribution of slip to overall hardening than twinning.     

AZ31B镁合金压-压循环载荷下变形行为及变形机制演化EI北大核心CSCD

为探讨AZ31B挤压态镁合金棒材沿径向取样的循环变形特征,开展了0.75%,1.0%,2.0%和4.0%应变幅下应变控制的非对称压-压循环变形实验。结果表明:在小应变幅(0.75%,1.0%)下,循环变形的滞回曲线表现出较好的对称性;在大应变幅(2.0%,4.0%)下,滞回曲线对称性差,且在滞回曲线上出现拐点;随着循环周次增加,塑性应变幅呈现下降趋势,材料均表现出循环硬化行为,在小应变幅下循环拉伸阶段对材料硬化率远大于压缩阶段的硬化率,而在大应变幅下这种区别并不明显。分析表明,沿径向取向的〈1120〉丝织构镁合金,小应变幅下位错滑移在整个寿命周期内作用更大;大应变幅下,随着塑性变形的增加,循环过程中变形机制发生演化,较低临界剪切应力(critical resolved shear stress,CRSS)的基面位错和拉伸孪生不能完全满足变形要求,较高CRSS滑移系启动及残余孪晶使得滞回曲线出现拐点;循环变形过程中不完全的孪生-去孪生过程使基体中存在大量残余孪晶,影响了循环变形过程的硬化率,同时降低了疲劳寿命。

SiCp/AZ91D镁基纳米复合材料的室温拉伸行为及塑性变形机理

为得到高强度和高塑性的镁基复合材料,通过高能超声分散法和金属型重力铸造工艺制备了SiC纳米颗粒分散均匀的SiCp/AZ91D镁基纳米复合材料,并进行T4固溶热处理和室温拉伸。利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)对试样拉伸后的显微组织和塑性变形机理进行观察与研究。结果表明:T4态SiCp/AZ91D镁基纳米复合材料室温下抗拉强度达到296 MPa,伸长率达到17.3%。经室温拉伸变形后复合材料基体微观组织中出现了大量的孪晶和滑移,孪生和滑移是复合材料塑形变形的主要机制。在室温拉伸过程中,α-Mg基体中SiC纳米颗粒周围形成高应变场,高应变场内形成大量位错和堆垛层错,这些位错和堆垛层错在拉伸应变的作用下演变成大量的滑移带和孪晶,这是SiCp/AZ91D镁基纳米复合材料在室温下具有高塑性的微观塑性变形机理。     

Deformation twinning in nanocrystalline materials

Nanocrystalline (nc) materials can be defined as solids with grain sizes in the range of 1-100 nm. Contrary to coarse-grained metals, which become more difficult to twin with decreasing grain size, nanocrystalline face-centered-cubic (fcc) metals become easier to twin with decreasing grain size, reaching a maximum twinning probability, and then become more difficult to twin when the grain size decreases further, i.e. exhibiting an inverse grain-size effect on twinning. Molecular dynamics simulations and experimental observations have revealed that the mechanisms of deformation twinning in nanocrystalline metals are different from those in their coarse-grained counterparts. Consequently, there are several types of deformation twins that are observed in nanocrystalline materials, but not in coarse-grained metals. It has also been reported that deformation twinning can be utilized to enhance the strength and ductility of nanocrystalline materials. This paper reviews all aspects of deformation twinning in nanocrystalline metals, including deformation twins observed by molecular dynamics simulations and experiments, twinning mechanisms, factors affecting the twinning, analytical models on the nucleation and growth of deformation twins, interactions between twins and dislocations, and the effects of twins on mechanical and other properties. It is the authors’ intention for this review paper to serve not only as a valuable reference for researchers in the field of nanocrystalline metals and alloys, but also as a textbook for the education of graduate students.     

Deformation twinning in AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel: role of strain and strain path

Abstract

AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel was deformed at different strain and strain paths. The twin boundaries in the deformed microstructure had two possible origins: decay of original annealing twins and generation of deformation twins. Assuming that rotations of grains, specifically grains on both sides of a twin boundary, are responsible for the twin decay, a simple model was proposed to bring out the domain of relative twin generation. A biaxial strain path, in general, was associated with strong twin generation – an association or dependency linked to the texture estimated values of Taylor factor. Formation of strain induced martensite was also observed to be strain and strain path dependent and was more in biaxial strain path.

On the origin of the high tensile strength and ductility of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel: Multiscale investigation

We report that 316L austenitic stainless steel fabricated by direct laser deposition(DLD), an additive manufacturing(AM) process, have a higher yield strength than that of conventional 316L while keeping high ductility. More interestingly, no clear anisotropy in tensile properties was observed between the building and the scanning direction of the 3D printed steel. Metallographic examination of the as-built parts shows a heterogeneous solidification cellular microstructure. Transmission electron microscopy observations coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrometry(EDS) reveal the presence of chemical micro-segregation correlated with high dislocation density at cell boundaries as well as the in-situ formation of well-dispersed oxides and transition-metal-rich precipitates. The hierarchical heterogeneous microstructure in the AM parts induces excellent strength of the 316L stainless steel while the low staking fault energy of the as-built 316L promotes the occurrence of abundant deformation twinning, in the origin of the high ductility of the AM steel. Without additional post-process treatments, the AM 316L proves that it can be used as a structural material or component for repair in mechanical construction.     

轧制工艺对316L不锈钢组织和耐蚀性能的影响

Analysis of the microstructure evolution during tensile testing at room temperature of high-manganese austenitic steel

The microstructure and texture evolution of low-stacking fault energy high-manganese austenitic steel during tensile testing at room temperature was studied by means of interrupted tests. Untested material shows fully recrystallized austenitic grains and an almost random texture. During deformation, two deformation mechanisms, mechanical twinning and dislocation gliding, compete with each other. The governing mechanism of a single grain will depend on its crystallographic orientation relative to tensile direction. As a result of the strong interaction between grain orientation and twinning activity at low tensile strain, both grains with and without deformation twins can be observed. However, at high strain all the grains exhibited twin bands. Tensile tested samples were characterized by the presence of a fiber texture with the <111> and <100> directions parallel to the tensile direction.

Dynamic deformation behavior and microstructural evolution during high-speed rolling of Mg alloy having non-basal texture

The dynamic deformation behaviors and resultant microstructural variations during high-speed rolling(HSR) of a Mg alloy with a non-basal texture are investigated. To this end, AZ31 alloy samples in which the basal poles of most grains are predominantly aligned parallel to the transverse direction(TD) are subjected to hot rolling with different reductions at a rolling speed of 470 m/min. The initial grains with a TD texture are favorable for {10–12} twinning under compression along the normal direction(ND); as a result, {10–12} twins are extensively formed in the material during HSR, and this consequently results in a drastic evolution of texture from the TD texture to the ND texture and a reduction in the grain size. After the initial grains are completely twinned by the {10–12} twinning mechanism, {10–11} contraction twins and {10–11}-{10–12} double twins are formed in the {10–12} twinned grains by further deformation.Since the contraction twins and double twins have crystallographic orientations that are favorable for basal slip during HSR, dislocations easily accumulate in these twins and fine recrystallized grains nucleate in the twins to reduce the increased internal strain energy. Until a rolling reduction of 20%, {10–12}twinning is the main mechanism governing the microstructural change during HSR, and subsequently,the microstructural evolution is dominated by the formation of contraction twins and double twins and the dynamic recrystallization in these twins. With an increase in the rolling reduction, the average grain size and internal strain energy of the high-speed-rolled(HSRed) samples decrease and the basal texture evolves from the TD texture to the ND texture more effectively. As a result, the 80% HSRed sample, which is subjected to a large strain at a high strain rate in a single rolling pass, exhibits a fully recrystallized microstructure consisting of equiaxed fine grains and has an ND basal texture without a TD texture component.     

Microstructure evolution and densification behavior of TiC/316L composite powders during cold/warm die compaction and solid-state sintering: 3D particulate scale numerical modelling and experimental validation

To identify the microstructure evolution and densification behavior of TiC/316L composites in powder metallurgy (PM) process, 3D particulate scale numerical simulations were conducted to reproduce the cold/warm compaction and solid-state sintering of TiC/316L composite powders with corresponding physical experiments being carried out for model validation. The effects of compaction parameters and sintering temperature on the densification behavior of TiC/316L composite powders were systemically investigated. The particle deformation and morphology, stress/strain and microstructure evolutions, and grain size distribution in the whole process were characterized and compared to further illustrate the densification behavior and the underlying dynamics/mechanisms. The results show that compared with the cold compaction, the warm compaction can not only achieve higher relative density, smaller and more uniform equivalent stress, and weaker spring back effect, but also improve the friction condition among powder particles. The plastic deformation of 316L particles is the main densification mechanism during compaction. In the solid-state sintering of TiC/316L compacts, the densification is mainly indicated by shrinkage and vanishing of large residual pores along with the growth of the sintering necks, accompanied by the particle movement and growth along the boundary regions. Meanwhile, the particle displacement and grain size distribution are more uniform in the warm compacted TiC/316L component. Moreover, the equivalent (von Mises) stress in 316L particles is smaller than that in TiC particles.     

Effect of strain rate and temperature on the deformation behavior in a Ti-23.1Nb-2.0Zr-1.0O titanium alloy

The compression behavior of a Ti-23.1 Nb-2.0Zr-1.0O (at.％) alloy was investigated at strain rates from 0.1 s-1 to 1000 s-1 and temperatures from 100 ℃ to 200 ℃ on a Gleeble 3800 system and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) compressive tester.Optical microscopy,electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD),X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed to characterize the microstructure evolution during the deformation.Numerous deformation phenomena,including dislocation slip,twinning of both {332}<113> and {112}<111> modes,stress-induced α" martensite (SIMα") and stress-induced ω (SIω) transformations,were observed.The preferred activation of twinning and SIω transformations was observed in the sample compressed at lower temperatures and/or higher strain rates.The underlying mechanism is that twinning and stress induced phase transformations are attribute to higher stress concentrations at β grain boundaries and additional energy supplied by a higher strain rate,as well as high stacking fault energy because of higher temperature.

Tensile behaviour of 316LN stainless steel at elevated temperatures

Abstract

The tensile deformation behaviour of 316LN stainless steel was investigated from ambient temperature up to 1000°C. The hardness and microstructure of area near tensile fracture were characterised. The results show that the engineering stress increases smoothly with engineering strain when the tensile temperature is at 400°C or below, while the plastic deformation stage displays a serrated/jerky flow at 600°C. At tensile temperatures of 800°C or above, the plastic deformation stage is dramatically prolonged. The deformation mechanisms of 316LN stainless steel are proposed to be sliding and twinning at 400°C or below, tangle dislocations due to cross-slipping at 600°C, dynamic recovery at 700°C, and dynamic recrystallisation at 800°C or above. The finding provides useful guidelines for the processing and service of 316LN stainless steel components at high temperatures.
