Influence of Strain Rate Sensitivity on Cube Texture Evolution in Aluminium Alloys

The influence of strain rate sensitivity on development of Cube texture and on the morphology of Cube-oriented grains is often neglected in simulations approaches. Therefore, crystal plasticity simulations and experiments were performed up to 73 pct of thickness reduction for cold rolling on Al 6016. It is found, that low values of strain rate sensitivity promote Cube grains fragmentation and avoid formation of transition bands already at 50 to 55 pct thickness reduction. High values of strain-rate sensitivity cause formation of Cube transition bands leaving thin Cube grains in the microstructure and delay their fragmentation. Other texture components are affected by changes in strain rate sensitivity as well. The Copper volume fraction in the final texture diminishes as the strain rate sensitivity decreases, while Brass and S components of the beta fiber show a moderately higher volume fraction when the strain rate sensitivity increases. The final volume fraction of Goss is highest when the strain rate sensitivity is 10⁻² but low if the strain rate sensitivity is 10⁻³ or raises up to 10⁻¹. Recrystallization texture components (P, Q) are not affected by strain rate sensitivity, while the invGoss fraction decreases for high values of strain rate sensitivity. The results found in cold rolling crystal plasticity simulations were compared with experimentally determined Cube distribution and texture components obtained through thickness for Al6016 rolled at 80 m/min and 600 m/min. Further crystal plasticity simulations were performed to predict the influence of strain rate sensitivity during several hot rolling conditions where activity of non-octahedral slip systems was included in the simulations. During hot rolling, high values of strain rate sensitivity contribute to Cube stabilization and promote formation of Copper texture and delay Brass and S.

     

Microstructure and Texture Evolution of Cold-Drawn 〈111〉 Single-Crystal Copper

The evolution of microstructure and texture in drawn 〈111〉 single-crystal copper with strains from 0.28 to 4.12 was analyzed. The texture analysis shows that in drawn 〈111〉 single-crystal copper, grain subdivision takes place, and at high strains, fiber textures consist of 〈111〉 and 〈100〉. However, the distribution of fiber textures is inhomogeneous along the radial direction. 〈111〉 is located in the center of samples and 〈100〉 is near the surface. Comparison of the texture evolution of drawn 〈111〉 and 〈100〉 single-crystal coppers indicates that the initial orientation is an important factor affecting the ratio of fiber texture 〈111〉 to 〈100〉. The results of microstructure show that at strains lower than 0.28, microstructure can be characterized as dislocation cells and few microbands. When strains are more than 0.58, a large number of extended planar dislocation boundaries appear. At strains more than 1.96, most of the extended planar boundaries are parallel to the drawn direction.     

Microstructure Evolution as an Effect of Strain Reversal During the Hot Deformation of Microalloyed Steels

Susceptibility of the steel for further cold processing strongly depends on the whole prior history of deformation in the hot working regime.In the industrial hot working processes,e.g.at the roughing stage of hot rolling,or forging,material undergoes complex deformation modes that leads to gradients of both microstructure and properties across the deformed cross-section.Torsion and multiaxial compression tests with different amounts of strain reversals were conducted at elevated temperatures to study the effect of applied strain path on the phenomena occurring during microstructure evolution of Nb-microalloyed steels.Gathered results will provide data for the modification of existing constitutive equations that mostly do not account for the strain path changes.Better through-process modelling will then enable to achieve better properties and quality of the products for further cold processing.     

Evolution of Microstructure and Texture During Deformation and Recrystallization of Heavily Rolled Cu-Cu Multilayer

A Cu-Cu multilayer processed by accumulative roll bonding was deformed to large strains and further annealed. The texture of the deformed Cu-Cu multilayer differs from the conventional fcc rolling textures in terms of higher fractions of Bs and RD-rotated cube components, compared with the volume fraction of Cu component. The elongated grain shape significantly affects the deformation characteristics. Characteristic microstructural features of both continuous dynamic recrystallization and discontinuous dynamic recrystallization were observed in the microtexture measurements. X-ray texture measurements of annealing of heavily deformed multilayer demonstrate constrained recrystallization and resulted in a bimodal grain size distribution in the annealed material at higher strains. The presence of cube- and BR-oriented grains in the deformed material confirms the oriented nucleation as the major influence on texture change during recrystallization. Persistence of cube component throughout the deformation is attributed to dynamic recrystallization. Evolution of RD-rotated cube is attributed to the deformation of cube components that evolve from dynamic recrystallization. The relaxation of strain components leads to Bs at larger strains. Further, the Bs component is found to recover rather than recrystallize during deformation. The presence of predominantly Cu and Bs orientations surrounding the interface layer suggests constrained annealing behavior.

Effect of Phase Contiguity and Morphology on the Evolution of Deformation Texture in Two-Phase Alloys

Deformation texture evolution in two-phase xFe-yNi-(100-x-y)Cr model alloys and Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy was studied during rolling to develop an understanding of micro-mechanisms of deformation in industrially relevant two-phase FCC-BCC steels and HCP-BCC titanium alloys, respectively. It was found that volume fraction and contiguity of phases lead to systematic changes in texture, while morphology affects the strength of texture. There was a characteristic change in texture from typical Brass-type to a weaker Copper-type texture in the austenite phase accompanied with a change from alpha fiber to gamma fiber in ferrite phase for Fe-Ni-Cr alloys with increase in fraction of harder ferrite phase. However, similar characteristic texture evolution was noted in both α and β phase irrespective of the different initial morphologies in Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy. Viscoplastic self-consistent simulations with two-phase scheme were able to qualitatively predict texture evolution in individual phases. It is proposed that the transition from iso-strain-type behavior for equiaxed microstructure at low strain to iso-stress-type behavior at higher strain is aided by the presence of higher volume fraction of the second phase and increasing aspect ratio of individual phases in two-phase alloys.

Evolution of Texture and Microstructure in Commercially Pure Titanium with Change in Strain Path During Rolling

The evolution of microstructure and texture in commercially pure titanium has been studied as a function of strain path during rolling using experimental techniques and viscoplastic self-consistent simulations. Four different strain paths, namely unidirectional rolling, two-step cross rolling, multistep cross rolling, and reverse rolling, have been employed to decipher the effect of strain path change on the evolution of deformation texture and microstructure. The cross-rolled samples show higher hardness with lower microstrain and intragranular misorientation compared to the unidirectional rolled sample as determined from X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction, respectively. The higher hardness of the cross-rolled samples is attributed to orientation hardening due to the near basal texture. Viscoplastic self-consistent simulations are able to successfully predict the texture evolution of the differently rolled samples. Simulation results indicate the higher contribution of basal slip in the formation of near basal texture and as well as lower intragranular misorientation in the cross-rolled samples.     

Effect of Strain Rate on Deformation Behavior of Semi-Solid Dendritic Alloys

The behavior of semi-solid Sn-Pb alloys was studied in compression between two parallel plates. Small dendritic samples were deformed at cross-head speeds leading to initial strain rates ranging from 1.3 × 10^-3 s^-1 to 1.2 × 10³ s^-1 in the semi-solid state at a temperature just above the eutectic. At the lower rates of deformation, breakdown of the dendrite structure occurs, at strains of 0.2 to 0.4, and a high degree of segregation of the liquid phase occurs. For higher rates the segregation no longer occurs to such a great extent and the alloy deforms more homogeneously. Some related experiments involving compression over a filter are presented to obtain stress-strain relations in bulk compression for later analysis. The behavior in compression of alloys in the semi-solid state may be used as a refining process in the low strain-rate range where segregation of the liquid is large. It may also prove useful in the high strain-rate range as a forming method. M. SUERY, formerly Visiting Scientist, Materials Processing Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Microstructure and Microtexture Evolution of Shear Localization in Dynamic Deformation with Different Strains in Annealed Copper

Shear localizations with different strains in annealed copper were obtained by a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar. Microstructure and microtexture evolution of the shear localization regions were examined using optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction technique, and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that both the mechanical response and deformation behavior are correlated closely to the shear strains. The elongated dislocation cells, stretched subgrains, and the refinement of subgrains are observed within shear localizations during dynamic deformation. Ultrafine grains of 100 to 300 nm with high-angle-boundaries are produced within the shear band with the shear strain of 5.8. Microtexture characterization reveals that a stable orientation, in which 〈110〉 directions of the crystals tend to align with the shear direction, develops both in the deformation and recrystallization areas. The {111} planes of the crystals tend to parallel to the shear plane in the deformation area, whereas the aggregated extent of this orientation becomes weak in the recrystallization area. In addition, some grains exist with the {100} planes parallel to the shear plane in the deformation and recrystallization areas. The rotational dynamic recrystallization is a reasonable mechanism for the microstructure evolution. The effects of cooling stage on the growth of grains and the change of dislocation density are estimated as a complementarity to this mechanism.     

Deformation Behavior and Evolution of Microstructure and Texture During Hot Compression of AISI 304LN Stainless Steel

Deformation behavior of hot-rolled AISI 304 LN austenitic stainless steel was studied by hot axisymmetric compression tests at 1173 K, 1273 K, and 1373 K (900 °C, 1000 °C, and 1100 °C) at strain rates of 0.01, 0.1, and 1 s^?1. The flow curves were examined to understand the deformation characteristics. The influence of Zener–Holloman parameter was analyzed using appropriate constitutive models. The activation energy for deformation was found to be 473 kJ/mol. Quantitative microstructural analysis was carried out using Electron backscattered diffraction. Compression at 1173 K (900 °C) at all true strain rates gave rise to partially dynamic recrystallized microstructure with strong α-fiber texture. The deformation texture is characterized by the formation of Brass component, and partial dynamic recrystallization (DRX) led to the development of Goss, S, and ube components. Necklace structure of small equiaxed recrystallized grains could be observed surrounding the large, elongated deformed grains. Compressions at 1273 K and 1373 K (1000 °C and 1100 °C) resulted in fully recrystallized microstructure consisting of mostly Σ3 and Σ9 coincidence site lattice high-angle boundaries. Compression at 1273 K (1000 °C) leads to the formation of low-intensity diffused α-fiber. DRX was confirmed by the presence of Goss, S, Cube, and rotated Cube components. Compression performed at 1373 K (1100 °C) resulted in nearly random texture with traces of α-fiber and prominent Cube/rotated Cube components. The microstructures of the 1173 K (900 °C)-compressed samples were partitioned using grain size and misorientation criteria to quantify DRX.     

变形速率对普碳钢中形变诱导铁素体相变的影响

Effect of Austenite Deformation on the Microstructure Evolution and Grain Refinement Under Accelerated Cooling Conditions

Although there has been much research regarding the effect of austenite deformation on accelerated cooled microstructures in microalloyed steels, there is still a lack of accurate data on boundary densities and effective grain sizes. Previous results observed from optical micrographs are not accurate enough, because, for displacive transformation products, a substantial part of the boundaries have disorientation angles below 15 deg. Therefore, in this research, a niobium microalloyed steel was used and electron backscattering diffraction mappings were performed on all of the transformed microstructures to obtain accurate results on boundary densities and grain refinement. It was found that with strain rising from 0 to 0.5, a transition from bainitic ferrite to acicular ferrite occurs and the effective grain size reduces from 5.7 to 3.1 μm. When further increasing strain from 0.5 to 0.7, dynamic recrystallization was triggered and postdynamic softening occurred during the accelerated cooling, leading to an inhomogeneous and coarse transformed microstructure. In the entire strain range, the density changes of boundaries with different disorientation angles are distinct, due to different boundary formation mechanisms. Finally, the controversial influence of austenite deformation on effective grain size of low-temperature transformation products was argued to be related to the differences in transformation conditions and final microstructures.

     

Effects of High Strain Rate on Properties and Microstructure Evolution of TWIP Steel Subjected to Impact Loading

 The mechanical properties of the TWIP steel subjected to impact loading at various strain rates were analyzed by the Split Pressure Hopkinson Bar. Meanwhile the microstructure of the TWIP steel fore-and-after the dynamic deformation were characterized and analyzed by optical microscopy (OM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The result shows that when the TWIP steel was deformed under dynamic station, the stress, microshardness and work hardening rate increase with the increment of strain and strain rate; there exist stress fluctuation and decline of work hardening rate for adiabatic temperature rising softening. There exist many pin-like deformation twins in the microstructure of the TWIP steel subjected to impact loading, the grain size after deformation is bigger than that before; the interaction of twins with dislocation and twins with twins, especial emergence of high order deformation twins are the main strengthening mechanisms of the TWIP steel. The nucleation mechanism of deformation twins will be “rebound mechanism”; the incomplete deformation twins can be observed when the strain rate is low; when strain rate raises, deformation twins unite together; furthermore, deformation twins become denser because the nucleation rating enhancing with strain rate increasing.     

Influence of Strain Rate,Temperature, Plastic Strain,and Microstructure on the Strain Rate Sensitivity of Automotive Sheet Steels

This work identifies the influence of strain rate, temperature, plastic strain, and microstructure on the strain rate sensitivity of automotive sheet steel grades in crash conditions. The strain rate sensitivity m has been determined by means of dynamic tensile tests in the strain rate range 10^?3–200 s^?1 and in the temperature range 233–373 K. The dynamic flow curves have been tested by means of servohydraulic tensile testing. The strain rate sensitivity decreases with increasing plastic strain due to a gradual exhausting of work hardening potential combined with adiabatic softening effects. The strain rate sensitivity is improved with decreasing temperature and increasing strain rate, according to the thermally activated deformation mechanism. The m‐value is reduced with increasing strength level, this decrease being most pronounced for steels with a yield strength below 400 MPa. Solid solution alloying with manganese, silicon, and especially phosphorous elements lowers the strain rate sensitivity significantly. Second phase hardening with bainite and martensite as the second constituent in a ferritic matrix reduces the strain rate sensitivity of automotive sheet steels. A statistical modeling is proposed to correlate the m‐value with the corresponding quasistatic tensile flow stress.     

Texture Evolution During Cross Rolling and Annealing of High-Purity Nickel

Evolution of texture during cross rolling and subsequent annealing was studied in high-purity nickel. For this purpose nickel samples were subjected to multipass cross rolling up to 90 pct reduction in thickness followed by annealing at different temperatures ranging between 673 K and 1073 K (400 °C and 800 °C). Cross rolling was carried out by rotating the samples about the normal direction (ND) by 90 deg interchanging the rolling direction and transverse direction (TD) between each consecutive pass. The development of microstructure and texture was characterized using X-ray and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The deformation texture was characterized by the presence of strong brass ({110}〈112〉) and ND-rotated brass ({011}〈21 $ \overline{13} $ 13〉)) orientations. Upon annealing at 673 K (400 °C), ND||[111] fiber could be observed in the microtexture which originated from the twin formation of the recrystallized TD-rotated cube ({027}〈0 $ \overline{7} $ 2〉) grains. The fiber was weakened after annealing at 1073 K (800 °C) because of the decreased propensity for twin formation, and the microtexture was found to be weak and diffused. EBSD studies on early recrystallization stages indicated the absence of preferential nucleation of cube grains being in agreement with a weak cube texture formation in annealed cross-rolled high-purity nickel.
