Characterization of High Strength Stainless Steel/Al/Brass Composite Tri-layered Clad

Delamination is a major limitation of lamellar composite structures in general, wherein interface/interphase control is a major factor. Studying/investigating the mitigation of cracks as well as toughening mechanisms is paramount to establish the control of interface/interphase kinetics. Stainless steel 316, Al 6082, CU–Zn sandwich laminate composite-sheets, in a foil–foil processing technique, were fabricated by means of hot uniaxial pressing. A parametric study was introduced using temperature and pressure effects on the composite specimens. The composite-sheet interface and its bond strength were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile test. Microstructural as well as mechanical characterization, were established via optical and scanning electron microscopy; energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and mechanical testing. Mechanical characterization of the interfacial shear strength is investigated using hardness testing. The interphase kinetic behavior is observed through localized micro plasticity, metal flow and delocalized Al oxide and Mg oxide. Results showed that low temperature heat treatment can improve the morphology of stainless steel 316, Al 6082, CU–Zn interface and increase its bond strength. Alloying element segregation with diffusion mechanisms induced the formation of localized metal flow along with the interface. Alloy segregation during solidification in a semisolid state processing induces directional solidification with fibrous entities and oxides on structural interphase. For the stainless steel 316, Al 6082, Cu–Zn composite, the reasonable heat treatment is approximately 823 K for 1 and 3 h.

Deformation and Fracture Behavior of Metallic Glassy Alloys and Glassy-Crystal Composites

The present work demonstrates the deformation behavior of Zr-Cu-Ni-Al bulk glassy alloys and Zr-Ni-Cu-Al-Pd glassy foils as well as Ni-Cu-Ti-Zr bulk crystal-glassy composites. Fracture of Zr₆₀Cu₁₆Ni₁₄Al₁₀ and Zr_64.13Ni_10.12Cu_15.75Al₁₀ bulk glassy alloys is featured by nearly equal fraction areas of cleavage-like and vein-type relief. The observed pattern of alternating cleavage-like and vein-type patterns illustrates a result of dynamically self-organizing shear propagation at the final catastrophic stage. The deformation behavior of Zr_64.13Ni_10.12Cu_15.75Al₁₀ alloy has also been tested at LN₂ temperature. The strength of the sample decreases with temperature, and no clear serrated flow typical for bulk glassy samples tested at room temperature is observed in the case of the samples tested at LN₂ temperature. We also studied the deformation behavior of Zr-Ni-Cu-Al-Pd glassy foils thinned to electron transparency in situ in tension in a transmission electron microscope. We also present a Ni-Cu-Ti-Zr crystal-glassy composite material having a superior strength paired with a considerable ductility exceeding 10 pct. The metastable cP2 crystalline phase promotes a strain-induced martensitic transformation leading to pseudoelastic behavior as well as enhanced plasticity at room temperature. Underlying mechanisms of plastic deformation are discussed in terms of the interplay between the dislocation slip in the crystalline phase and the shear deformation in the glassy matrix.     

70MoCu合金室温变形行为与断裂机制

通过室温下冷轧试验, 研究了70MoCu合金（由质量分数分别为70%的Mo和30%的Cu组成）在不同变形量条件下的微观组织及力学性能. 试验得到了微观组织、力学性能随冷轧变形量的变化规律. 随着变形量的增加, 组织形貌发生显著变化, 钼颗粒沿轴向被拉长, 粘结相铜也被拉成长条状;70MoCu合金最先在Mo-Cu或Mo-Mo界面开裂, 接着是钼自身的开裂;同时, 70MoCu的硬度不断增大. 通过合金的室温拉伸试验, 对断口的观察发现70MoCu合金在室温下的断裂是粘结相Cu的撕裂, Mo-Cu界面的分离, Mo-Mo界面的分离, Mo颗粒的解理断裂等4种断裂模式共同作用的结果, 粘结相Cu的撕裂和Mo-Cu界面的分离是其主要的断裂方式.

Ductile Fracture Prediction of 316LN Stainless Steel in Hot Deformation Process

A ductile fracture criterion of 316LN stainless steel, combined with the plastic deformation capacity of ma- terial and the stress state dependent damages, was proposed to predict ductile fracture during hot deformation. To the end, tensile tests at high temperatures were first performed to investigate the fracture behavior of 316LN stain- less steel. The experimental results show the variation of the critical fracture strain as a function of temperature and strain rate. Second, the criterion was calibrated by using the upsetting tests and the corresponding numerical simula- tions. Finally, the proposed fracture criterion was validated by the designed tests and the corresponding finite ele- ment （FE） simulation. The results show that the criterion can successfully predict the onset of ductile fracture at ele- vated temperatures.     

Investigation of Hot Deformation Behavior of Duplex Stainless Steel Grade 2507

Recently, duplex stainless steels (DSSs) are being increasingly employed in chemical, petro-chemical, nuclear, and energy industries due to the excellent combination of high strength and corrosion resistance. Better understanding of deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of the material under hot working process is significant for achieving desired mechanical properties. In this work, plastic flow curves and microstructure development of the DSS grade 2507 were investigated. Cylindrical specimens were subjected to hot compression tests for different elevated temperatures and strain rates by a deformation dilatometer. It was found that stress–strain responses of the examined steel strongly depended on the forming rate and temperature. The flow stresses increased with higher strain rates and lower temperatures. Subsequently, predictions of the obtained stress–strain curves were done according to the Zener–Hollomon equation. Determination of material parameters for the constitutive model was presented. It was shown that the calculated flow curves agreed well with the experimental results. Additionally, metallographic examinations of hot compressed samples were performed by optical microscope using color tint etching. Area based phase fractions of the existing phases were determined for each forming condition. Hardness of the specimens was measured and discussed with the resulted microstructures. The proposed flow stress model can be used to design and optimize manufacturing process at elevated temperatures for the DSS.     

Nanograined/Ultrafine-Grained Structure and Tensile Deformation Behavior of Shear Phase Reversion-Induced 301 Austenitic Stainless Steel

We describe here an electron microscopy study of shear reversion-induced nanograined/ultrafine-grained (NG/UFG) structure and evolution of tensile strained microstructure in metastable type 301 austenitic stainless steel. The NG/UFG structure with grain size in the range of 200 to 500 nm was obtained by severe cold deformation and controlled annealing in the narrow temperature range of 973 to 1073 K (700 to 800 °C). The different stages of annealing involve the following: (a) transformation of strain-induced martensite to highly dislocated lath-type austenite, (b) formation of dislocation-cell structure and transformation to recovered austenite structure with defect-free subgrains, and (c) coalescence of subgrains to form a NG/UFG structure concomitant with a completely recrystallized structure, and consistent with martensitic shear-type phase reversion mechanism. The optimized cold working and annealing treatment resulted in NG/UFG material with a high yield strength (~1000 MPa) and high ductility (~30 pct) combination. Multiple deformation mechanisms were identified from postmortem electron microscopy examination of tensile strained NG/UFG 301 austenitic stainless steel and include dislocation glide and twinning.

粉末冶金法制备Wp/AZ91镁基复合材料的热变形行为分析

通过对粉末冶金法制备Wp/AZ91镁基复合材料的热变形行为分析,发现该复合材料非常敏感于应变速率.随应变速率升高,真应力-真应变曲线特征从“平缓”型向“锯齿”型转变,材料热变形软化特征增强.材料的软化作用一方面来自基体合金自身的再结晶软化,另一方面来自第二相的强化所引发的再结晶软化.通过微观组织观察发现低应变速率下,材料内析出相呈板条状,而高应变速率下,材料内析出相呈细小短棒状和棱柱状弥散析出,强化作用明显,一方面使晶体内产生大量高畸变能区域从而为再结晶形核提供驱动力,有利于再结晶行为.另一方面也有利于再结晶晶粒的均匀长大,从而有利于再结晶软化.因此高应变速率下材料的软化率更高.     

Tensile Fracture Behavior of Nicalon/SiC Composites

The tensile behavior of Nicalon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (Nicalon/SiC) was investigated with the aid of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques. The NDE techniques include ultrasonic testing (UT), X-ray computed tomography (CT), and infrared (IR) thermography. Before mechanical testing, UT C-scans were developed to investigate defect distributions and to detect variations in the internal flaws. X-ray CT was used to characterize the type of defects and the location of flaws in composites to compare with UT C-scan results. The IR thermography was employed to monitor temperature evolution during tensile testing. This article also investigated the feasibility of using multiple NDE techniques as a means of assessing integrity for Nicalon/SiC composites. Microstructural characterization was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate failure mechanisms of Nicalon/SiC composites, and the results were compared with NDE data. This article is based on a presentation given in the symposium entitled “Deformation and Fracture from Nano to Macro: A Symposium Honoring W.W. Gerberich’s 70th Birthday,” which occurred during the TMS Annual Meeting, March 12–16, 2006 in San Antonio, Texas and was sponsored by the Mechanical Behavior of Materials and Nanomechanical Behavior Committees of TMS.

Fracture Behavior of Cold Sprayed 304 Stainless Steel Coating During Cold Rolling

 The fracture behavior of cold sprayed 304 stainless steel coating in cold rolling process was studied. The 304 stainless steel coatings were deposited on low carbon steel substrate by cold gas dynamic spray (CGDS) and then cold rolled, respectively. The fracture morphology of the coatings was observed and analyzed, and the crack distributions along the longitudinal rolling direction of the coatings were also investigated and discussed. The results showed that the cohesive strength of the cold sprayed 304 stainless steel coating was too low to be cold rolled. Microcracks were formed in the as-sprayed coatings and ran perpendicularly to the rolling direction. The spacing distance between these cracks decreased with the increase of the cold rolling reduction. In addition, it was also found that the initial crack generated at the surface of the coating and propagated from the surface to the interface along the weakly bonded particles. A theoretical analysis was developed for the coating fracture. It gave a critical minimum cohesive bonding strength of the coating for non-breaking in cold rolling process. The crack propagation manner of the cold rolled coatings was also discussed.
