Effect of annealing on tensile properties of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni with broad grain size distribution

Abstract

The microstructures and tensile properties of electrodeposited nanocrystalline Ni (nc-Ni) with a broad grain size distribution after annealing at 150, 200 and 300°C for 500 s were investigated. The as deposited broad grain size distribution nc-Ni sample exhibited a moderate strength σ_UTS of ～1107 MPa but a markedly enhanced ductility ?_TEF of ～10%, compared with electrodeposited nc-Ni with a narrow grain size distribution. Annealing below 200°C increased the strength but caused a considerably reduction in tensile elongation. This behaviour is attributed to the grain boundary relaxation and the increased order of grain boundaries after annealing, which can make the grain boundary activities, such as the grain boundary sliding and grain rotations, more difficult. Further annealing at 300°C decreased both the yield strength and tensile elongation significantly due to significant grain growth.     

AC Complex Impedance Analysis of Doped Strontium Titanate Multifunctional Ceramics

Doped SrTiO3 capacitor-varistor multifunctional ceramics were fabricated by a single sintering process.AC complex impedance analysis was performed to investigate electrical features of grains and grain boundaries for both as-reduced ceramic and reoxidized ceramics.The results showed that the as-reduced ceramic exhibited inductive response at high frequencies above 2MHz,which is attributed to the contribution of electron behavior in semiconducting grains.The high frequency inductive response disappeared in impedance plots of reoxidized ceramics.     

Probing into the Yield Plateau Phenomenon in Commercially Pure Titanium During Tensile Tests

To explain the intrinsic mechanism of the yield plateau phenomenon in commercially pure titanium, the tensile behaviors of commercially pure titanium specimens after 91.6% cryorolling and subsequent annealing at 280 ℃, 335 ℃, 450 ℃ and 600 ℃ have been studied. The results show that the yield plateau phenomenon is a result of dislocation behaviors controlled by grain size and thus only exists within a given range of mean grain size. α grain boundaries are the main dislocation multiplication sources of commercially pure titanium. Fine-grained microstructure could offer numerous dislocation multiplication locations during deformation. Once the applied stress is above the yielding strength, dislocations multiply rapidly and the mobile dislocation density is high. To retrieve the imposed strain rate, the mean dislocation velocity is bound to be low. Therefore, it takes time for them to interact with each other. As a result, the movement of dislocations is hardly blocked and the deformation could continue at a nearly constant applied stress. Consequently, the so-called yield plateau behavior presents in the tensile curves. The disappearance of yield plateau phenomenon in coarse-grained and ultrafi ne-grained microstructures is attributed to the quick realization of the mutual interactions among dislocations at the initial stage of tensile test.     

Grain growth of high Tc YBa2Cu3O7−x

Grain growth during sintering of the polycrystalline high onset temperature superconductor YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x has been examined by measuring grain sizes at various temperatures for different times above 900°C. The grain size distribution is found to be predominately lognormal after some sintering time. The mean grain size increases with both temperature and time. The standard deviation of the grain size distribution increases with temperature, but appears to be independent of time. The grain growth law may have an exponent of five. The grain growth rate may be affected by the grain size of the calcined powder.
