The processing maps at different strains were then constructed based on the dynamic materials model, and the hot compression process parameters and deformation mechanism were optimized and analyzed, respectively. The results show that the processing maps exhibit two domains with a high efficiency of power dissipation and a flow instability domain with a less efficiency of power dissipation. The types of domains were characterized by convergence and divergence of the efficiency of power dissipation, respectively. The convergent domain in a＋fl phase field is at the temperature of 950-990 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.01 s^-1, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of α＋β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in α＋β phase field is at 950 ℃ and 0.001 s 1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of α＋β phase field. The convergent domain in β phase field is at the temperature of 1020-1080 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.1 s^-l, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in ℃ phase field occurs at 1050 ℃ over the strain rates from 0.001 s^-1 to 0.01 s^-1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of ,8 phase field. The divergence domain occurs at the strain rates above 0.5 s^-1 and in all the tested temperature range, which correspond to flow instability that is manifested as flow localization and indicated by the flow softening phenomenon in stress-- strain curves. The deformation mechanisms of the optimized hot compression process windows in a＋β and β phase fields are identified to be spheroidizing and dynamic recrystallizing controlled by self-diffusion mechanism, respectively. The microstructure observation of the deformed specimens in different domains matches very well with the optimized results.展开更多

文摘The hot compression curves and deformed microstructures were investigated under various hot deformation conditions in three states:hot isostatic pressing(HIP,A1),HIP+hot extrusion at 1100℃(A2),and HIP+hot extrusion at 1150℃(A3).The results show that A2 sample,extruded at 1100℃ with uniform γ+γ′duplex microstructures,demonstrates excellent hot deformation behavior at both 1050 and 1100℃.The true stress-true strain curves of A2 sample maintain a hardening-softening equilibrium over a larger strain range,with post-deformation average grain size of 5μm.The as-HIPed A1 sample and 1150℃ extruded A3 sample exhibit a softening region in deformation curves at 1050℃,and the grain microstructures reflect an incomplete recrystallized state,i.e.combination of fine recrystallized grains and initial larger grains,characterized by a necklace-like microstructure.The predominant recrystallization mechanism for these samples is strain-induced boundary migration.At 1150℃ with a strain rate of 0.001 s^(-1),the influence of the initial microstructure on hot deformation behavior and resultant microstructure is relatively less pronounced,and postdeformation microstructures are fully recrystallized grains.Fine-grained microstructures are conducive to maximizing the hot deformation potential of alloy.By judiciously adjusting deformation regimes,a fine and uniform deformed microstructure can be obtained.

文摘High-purity silver(Ag)is extensively utilized in electronics,aerospace,and other advanced industries due to its excellent thermal conductivity,electrical conductivity,and machinability.However,the prohibitive material cost poses substantial challenges for optimizing thermal processing parameters through repetitive experimental trials.In this work,hot compression experiments on high-purity silver were conducted using a Gleeble-3800 thermal simulator.The high temperature deformation behaviors,dynamic recovery(DRV)and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)of high-purity silver were studied by constructing an Arrhenius constitutive equation and developing thermal processing maps.The results show that plastic instability of high-purity silver occurs at high strain rates and the optimized hot processing parameters are the strain rate below 0.001 s^(−1) and the temperature of 340−400℃.Microstructural observations exhibit that DRV prefers to occur at lower deformation temperatures(e.g.,250℃).This is attributed to the low stacking fault energy of high-purity silver,which facilitates the decomposition of dislocations into partial dislocations and promotes high-density dislocation accumulation.Furthermore,DRX in high-purity silver becomes increasingly pronounced with increasing deformation temperature and reaches saturation at 350℃.

文摘The regulation of martensitic transformation and intrinsic brittleness are critical issues for the application of Ni-Mn-Ga shape memory alloys,and they are closely related to the alloy composition andγphase.In this study,single and dual-phase Ni_(55+x)Mn_(25)Ga_(20-x)(x=0,2,4 and 6)alloys were fabricated.The proportion of theγphase was elevated gradually,and the peak martensitic transformation temperature was enhanced from 350 to 460℃ with an increasing Ni/Ga ratio.The microstructures of theγphase were further regulated from continuous block to dispersed granular after annealing.The annealed dual-phase alloy with x=2 exhibited greater yield stress,compressive strength and toughness than the annealed single-phase alloy.It maintained plastic deformation without fracture,even at a strain of 30%.High strain energy and dislocation density were observed in the martensite of the dual-phase alloy,which can be attributed toγphases and the interface between martensite andγphases.Furthermore,[001]-oriented martensite variants were obtained during deformation in the dual-phase alloy.They were parallel to the loading direction and conducive to improving the compressive strength.This protocol provides in-depth insight into the influence of theγphase on the texture evolution and mechanical behavior of martensite during deformation.

文摘Four powder metallurgy(PM)Ni-based superalloys with different Hf and Ta contents were creep-tested at 650℃ and 970 MPa,700℃ and 770 MPa,and 750℃ and 580 MPa,respectively.The effect of Hf and Ta on creep deformation behaviors of the superalloys was studied from multiple scales by SEM,electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope(AC-STEM).The results showed that Hf and Ta suppressed the intergranular fracture and initiation of cracks during the acceleration creep stage,which prolonged the creep rupture time.Hf and Ta inhibited the stacking faults extending and the dislocation climbing and promoted the Suzuki segregation of W during the steady-state creep stage,which reduced the minimum creep rate and delayed the start time of the acceleration creep stage.The Suzuki segregation of Co,Cr,Mo,Ti,Nb,W,and Ta along stacking faults was observed after Hf and Ta addition,leading to the localized phase transformation in the γ′phase,and the stacking fault phase was chemically disordered.This study provided ideas for the composition design of novel PM Ni-based superalloys and theoretical foundations for the combined addition of Hf and Ta.

文摘The effects of solid solution on the deformation behavior of binary Mg-xZn(x=0,1,2 wt%)alloys featuring a designated texture that enables extension twinning under tension parallel to the basal pole in most grains,were investigated using in-situ neutron diffraction and the EVPSC-TDT model.Neutron diffraction was used to quantitatively track grain-level lattice strains and diffraction intensity changes(related to mechanical twinning)in differently oriented grains of each alloy during cyclic tensile/compressive loadings.These measurements were accurately captured by the model.The stress-strain curves of Mg-1 wt%Zn and Mg-2 wt%Zn alloys show as-expected solid solution strengthening from the addition of Zn compared to pure Mg.The macroscopic yielding and hardening behaviors are explained by alternating slip and twinning modes as calculated by the model.The solid solution's influence on individual deformation modes,including basal〈a〉slip,prismatic〈a〉slip,and extension twinning,was then quantitatively assessed in terms of activity,yielding behavior,and hardening response by combining neutron diffraction results with crystal plasticity predictions.The Mg-1 wt%Zn alloy displays distinct yielding and hardening behavior due to solid solution softening of prismatic〈a〉slip.Additionally,the dependence of extension twinning,in terms of the twinning volume fraction,on Zn content exhibits opposite trends under tensile and compressive loadings.

文摘Ti750s titanium alloy,a novel high-temperature titanium alloy designed for short-term service at elevated temperatures(700–750℃),has previously lacked comprehensive understanding of its hot processing behavior.In this study,the high-temperature deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of the Ti750s alloy were systematically investigated through thermal simulation compression tests conducted at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1070℃and strain rates between 0.1 and 10 s⁻1.A hot processing map was constructed using the dynamic material model to optimize the hot processing parameters.The results indicated that the optimal processing window was between 1040 and 1070℃with a strain rate of 0.1 s⁻1.Processing within the instability region resulted in localized plastic deformation,manifesting as pronounced shear bands and a highly heterogeneous strain distribution;this region should be avoided during hot deformation.Within theα+βphase safety zone characterized by low power dissipation rates between 0.32 and 0.4,the primary deformation mechanism in this region was dynamic recovery(DRV),where the lamellarαgrains underwent deformation and rotation.Conversely,in theα+βphase safety zone with high-power dissipation rates between 0.45 and 0.52,dynamic spheroidization of theαphase and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)of theβphase occurred concurrently.In theβphase safety zone with low power dissipation rates between 0.32 and 0.51,the primary deformation mechanism consisted of DRV ofβgrains,accompanied by limited DRX.However,in theβphase safety zone with high-power dissipation rates exceeding 0.56,both DRV and DRX ofβgrains took place,resulted in a significant increase in the size and number of recrystallized grains compared to those observed under low power dissipation conditions.

文摘The popular constitutive models used in the field of hot forming of magnesium alloys can be divided into phenomenological models,machine learning models,and internal state variables(ISV)models based on physical mechanisms.Currently,there is a lack of comparison and evaluation regarding the suitability of different types of models.In this study,Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy is taken as the research object.The hot deformation behavior of the alloy was studied systematically.Subsequently,Arrhenius model with strain compensation,artificial neural network(ANN)model,and ISV model involving dynamic recrystallization(DRX),dislocation density and grain size evolution were established.ANN model demonstrates a higher level of accuracy in fitting the original stress-strain curves compared to both ISV model and modified Arrhenius model,but ANN model is not suitable for predicting the experimental results outside of the initial database.ISV model considers the impact of microstructure evolution history on stress,making it highly effective in reflecting the mechanical responses under complex loading condition.The established ISV model is embedded in the ABAQUS software,which shows good ability in calculating the mechanical response,dimension,and microstructure evolution information of the component during hot forming.

文摘As high-speed railway transportation advances toward increased velocities,it is imperative to enhance the mechanical performance of EA4T axle steel,especially through microstructures regulation by thermal–mechanical processing.However,little research has been conducted on the phase transformation and microstructure evolution mechanism of EA4T steel under thermal–mechanical load,resulting in a lack of theoretical guidance.The hot deformation behavior and phase transformation mechanism of EA4T steel were investigated under different conditions of strain rates(0.01–10 s^(−1))and temperatures(850–1200℃).A relation of deformation stresses with Zener–Hollomon parameter was established to characterize the mechanical response and dynamic softening effect of EA4T steel during hot compression.The evolution of grain boundaries with different misorientations has been analyzed to evaluate the influence of strain rates and temperatures on the dynamic recrystallization.It was found that the grain refinement mechanisms of EA4T steel by dynamic recrystallization including twin-assisted boundary bulging,sub-grain rotation,and sub-grain growth.Transmission electron microscopy observations confirmed that dynamic recrystallization nuclei and small recrystallized grains impeded martensite phase nucleation during hot deformation,while the ongoing dynamic recrystallization consumed deformation stored energy and reduced dislocation density,which mitigated the stress concentration in the parent phase of martensite,thereby facilitating the uniform growth of martensite lath with a mixing structure of nanotwins and dislocations during quenching.

文摘The weldability of twin-induced plasticity(TWIP)steel with ultra-high strength via friction stir welding(FSW)technique was investigated,and microstructural evolution and deformation behavior of whole and micro-zones of FSW TWIP joint were studied for the first time.The results showed that the content of recrystallized grains in the stir zone(SZ)increased from 10.5%of basal material(BM)to 14.2%,and that of heat affected zone(HAZ)increased to 78.6%.The percentage of annealing twins decreased from 26.8%in BM to 11%in SZ,while increased to 35%in HAZ.Compared with the BM,the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of the FSW joint increased to 1036 and 550 MPa,respectively,reaching 106.7%and 110.9%of BM,respectively.The elongation of the entire joint was 50.5%,which was lower than that of BM due to the nonuniform deformation during the tensile test.The engineering strain was mainly concentrated in BM and SZ and transferred to each other during the tensile test,while the engineering strain in HAZ was always the lowest.Finally,the tensile fracture occurred in the SZ.The order of ultimate tensile strength of micro-zones in the FSW joint was as follows:HAZ>BM≈SZ.The order of yield strength was as follows:HAZ>BM>SZ.

文摘Graphene nanoplates(GNPs)-reinforced magnesium matrix composites have been attracted great attention.However,knowledge is lack for the hot deformation behavior of GNP-reinforced magnesium(GNPs/Mg)composite.In this study,the fine-grained GNPs/Mg composite was fabricated by powder metallurgy process followed by extrusion.The hot deformation behavior,microstructure evolution and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)mechanism of fine-grained GNPs/Mg composite were investigated by hot compression test and electron back-scatter diffraction(EBSD).The hot compression tests of the composite were conducted at temperatures between 423 and 573 K with the strain rates from 0.001 to 1 s^(-1).The strain compensated power law equation was established to describe the hot deformation behavior of the composites.The stress exponent and activation energy of the composite are 7.76 and 83.23 kJ/mol,respectively,suggesting that the deformation mechanism is grain boundary slip controlled dislocation climb creep.The abnormally high stress exponent and activation energy are unattainable in the composite due to the fine grain size of the composites and the absence of Zener pinning and Orowan effects of GNPs reinforcement.The grain size increases with the decrease in Zener-Hollomn(Z)parameter,which can be well fitted by power-law relationship.With the increase in grain size and decrease in Z parameter,the geometrically necessary dislocation density decreases,which shows the approximately power-law relationship.A random and weak texture was formed after hot compression.The discontinuous dynamic recrystallization and continuous dynamic recrystallization mechanism dominated the DRX behavior at 473 K/0.001 s^(-1) and 573 K/0.001 s^(-1),respectively.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of a newly developed Ni–W–Cr superalloy for use in 800℃molten salt reactors(MSRs)was looked into by isothermal compression tests in the temperature range of 1050–1200℃with a strain rate of 0.001–1 s^(−1)under a true strain of 0.693.An Arrhenius-type model for the Ni–W–Cr superalloy was constructed by fitting the corrected flow stress data.In this model,the effect of dispersion of solid solution elements during thermal deformation on microstructure evolution was considered,as well as the effects of friction and adiabatic heating on the temperature and strain rate-dependent variation of flow stresses.The hot deformation activation energy of the Ni–W–Cr superalloy was 323 kJ/mol,which was less than that of the Hastelloy N alloy(currently used in MSRs).According to the rectified flow stress data,processing maps were created.In conjunction with the corresponding deformation microstructures,the flow instability domains of the Ni–W–Cr superalloy were determined to be 1050–1160℃/0.03–1 s^(−1)and 1170–1200℃/0.001–0.09 s^(−1).In these deformation conditions,a locally inhomogeneous microstructure was caused by flow-i.e.,incomplete dynamic recrystallization and hot working parameters should avoid sliding into these domains.The ideal processing hot deformation domain for the Ni–W–Cr superalloy was determined to be 1170–1200℃/0.6–1 s^(−1).

文摘In order to clarify the effect of rare earth Gd on the microstructure evolution and deformation behavior of 7075 aluminum alloy during hot compression,uniaxial compression tests of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-0.5%Gd were conducted at strain rates of 0.001,0.01,0.1,and 1 s^(-1)with the temperatures ranging from 350 to 450℃.The microstructural evolution during deformation was characterized using optical microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)techniques.The experimental results indicate that the addition of the rare earth element Gd significantly increases the peak flow stress and thermal activation energy of the alloy.Due to the pinning effect of rare earth phases,dislocation movement is hindered,leading to an increased level of work hardening in the alloy.However,the dynamic recrystallization of the alloy is complicated.At a high Z(Zener-Hollomon parameter)values,recrystallization occurs in the form of DDRX(Discontinuous Dynamic Recrystallization),making it easier to nucleate at grain boundaries.As the Z value decreases gradually,the recrystallization mechanism transitions from discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)to continuous dynamic recrystallization(CDRX).At a low Z values with the strain rate of 0.001 s^(-1),the inhibitory effect of rare earths weakens,resulting in a comparable recrystallization ratio between Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Gd alloy and 7075 aluminum alloy.Moreover,the average grain size of the aluminum alloy with Gd addition is only half that of 7075 aluminum.The addition of Gd provides Orowan and substructure strengthening for the alloy,which greatly improves the work-hardening of the alloy compared with 7075 aluminum alloy and improves the strength of the alloy.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of a newly designed V micro-alloyed high manganese steel(HMnS)was investigated in order to guide the development of the hot-metal-gas-forming process.Single-pass hot compression experiments were conducted in the temperature range of 950–1100℃ and the strain rate range of 0.05–10 s^(−1),and the stress–strain curves and the corresponding softening mechanism of the V micro-alloyed HMnS were analyzed.Results show that two types of stress–strain curves,representing the work hardening(WH)-dynamic recovery(DRV)-dynamic recrystallization(DRX)mechanism and the WH–DRV mechanism,respectively,occur during the deformation process.Moreover,the WH–DRV–DRX mechanism gradually transforms into the WH–DRV mechanism with the increasing strain rate and decreasing deformation temperature.Two types of constitutive models considering the softening mechanism difference were established and verified by additional hot-deformation experiments.Hot processing map of the HMnS was established and correlated well with the microstructure evolution result.Based on the constitutive models and processing map,the optimal processing parameter range and flow stress of HMnS for the hot-metal-gas-forming were determined.

文摘A porous yttrium oxide crucible with both thermal shock resistance and erosion resistance was developed by structural optimization.The structure-optimized yttrium oxide crucible was proved to be suitable for melting highly reactive titanium alloys.Low-cost(TiB+Y2O_(3))-reinforced titanium matrix composites were prepared by vacuum induction melting using the prepared crucible.The thermal deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of(TiB+Y2O_(3))-reinforced tita-nium matrix composites were investigated at deformation temperatures of 900-1100℃with strain rates of 0.001-1 s-1.The results showed that the prepared yttrium oxide crucible had both thermal shock and erosion resistance,the low-cost titanium matrix composites could be prepared by the developed yttrium oxide crucibles which were homogeneous in composition and highly sensitive to strain rate and deformation temperature,and the peak and theological stresses decreased with increasing deformation temperature or decreasing strain rate.In addition,the average thermal deformation activation energy of the composites was calculated to be 574.6 kJ/mol by establishing the Arrhenius constitutive equation in consideration of the strain variables,and the fitting goodness between the predicted stress value and the measured value was 97.624%.The calculated analysis of the hot processing map showed that the best stable thermal deformation zone was located in the deformation temperature range of 1000-1100℃and strain rate range of 0.001-0.01 s^(-1),where the peak dissipation coefficient wasη=71%.In this zone,the deformation of the reinforcement and matrix was harmonious,the reinforcement was less likely to fracture,dynamic recrystallization occurred more fully and the alloy exhibited near steady rheological characteristics.

文摘To improve the hot workability of hard-deformed superalloy U720Li,the effect of holding time before deformation(5 and 10 min)on hot deformation behavior was investigated by hot compression tests.Results show that the flow stress increases with increase in strain rate,while decreases with increase in deformation temperature and holding time.Based on the obtained Arrhenius-type constitutive models,the calculated peak stresses are in good agreement with experimental values,indicating that this model can accurately predict the hot deformation behavior of U720Li alloy,and the deformation activation energies for the holding time of 5 and 10 min were calculated to be 992.006 and 850.996 kJ·mol^(-1),respectively.Moreover,processing maps of U720Li alloy with these two holding durations were constructed.Through observation of deformation microstructures in each domain of the processing maps,the optimal hot working conditions for the holding time of 5 min are determined to be 1090‒1110℃/1‒10 s^(-1) and 1146‒1180℃/1‒10 s^(-1),and the optimal hot working conditions for the holding time of 10 min are 1080‒1090℃/1‒10 s-1 and 1153‒1160℃/1‒10 s^(-1),indicating that the safe processing window can be obviously enlarged by shortening the holding time reasonably.In the absence of cracking,the dynamic recrystallization(DRX)grain size increases gradually with increasing the deformation temperature and holding time,but it first decreases and then increases with the increase in strain rate.When the deformation temperature is below 1100℃,the DRX mechanism is mainly the particle-induced continuous DRX.As the temperature is raised to above 1130℃,the main DRX mechanism changes to discontinuous DRX.
文摘The hot compression tests of 7Mo super austenitic stainless(SASS)were conducted to obtain flow curves at the temperature of 1000-1200℃and strain rate of 0.001 s^(-1)to 1 s^(-1).To predict the non-linear hot deformation behaviors of the steel,back propagation-artificial neural network(BP-ANN)with 16×8×8 hidden layer neurons was proposed.The predictability of the ANN model is evaluated according to the distribution of mean absolute error(MAE)and relative error.The relative error of 85%data for the BP-ANN model is among±5%while only 42.5%data predicted by the Arrhenius constitutive equation is in this range.Especially,at high strain rate and low temperature,the MAE of the ANN model is 2.49%,which has decreases for 18.78%,compared with conventional Arrhenius constitutive equation.

文摘The high temperature deformation behaviors of α＋β type titanium alloy TC11 （Ti-6.5Al-3.5Mo-1.5Zr-0.3Si） with coarse lamellar starting microstructure were investigated based on the hot compression tests in the temperature range of 950-1100 ℃ and the strain rate range of 0.001-10 s-1. The processing maps at different strains were then constructed based on the dynamic materials model, and the hot compression process parameters and deformation mechanism were optimized and analyzed, respectively. The results show that the processing maps exhibit two domains with a high efficiency of power dissipation and a flow instability domain with a less efficiency of power dissipation. The types of domains were characterized by convergence and divergence of the efficiency of power dissipation, respectively. The convergent domain in a＋fl phase field is at the temperature of 950-990 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.01 s^-1, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of α＋β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in α＋β phase field is at 950 ℃ and 0.001 s 1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of α＋β phase field. The convergent domain in β phase field is at the temperature of 1020-1080 ℃ and the strain rate of 0.001-0.1 s^-l, which correspond to a better hot compression process window of β phase field. The peak of efficiency of power dissipation in ℃ phase field occurs at 1050 ℃ over the strain rates from 0.001 s^-1 to 0.01 s^-1, which correspond to the best hot compression process parameters of ,8 phase field. The divergence domain occurs at the strain rates above 0.5 s^-1 and in all the tested temperature range, which correspond to flow instability that is manifested as flow localization and indicated by the flow softening phenomenon in stress-- strain curves. The deformation mechanisms of the optimized hot compression process windows in a＋β and β phase fields are identified to be spheroidizing and dynamic recrystallizing controlled by self-diffusion mechanism, respectively. The microstructure observation of the deformed specimens in different domains matches very well with the optimized results.

文摘The grain statistics effect was investigated through asymmetric rolling of pure copper foil by a realistic polycrystalline aggregates model and crystal plasticity element finite model.A polycrystalline aggregate model was generated and a crystal plasticity-based finite element model was developed for each grain and the specimen as a whole.The crystal plasticity model itself is rate dependent and accounts for local dissipative hardening effects and the original orientation of each grain was generated based on the orientation distribution function（ODF）.The deformation behaviors,including inhomogeneous material flow,decrease of contact press and roll force with the increase of grain size for the constant size of specimens,were studied.It is revealed that when the specimens are composed of only a few grains across thickness,the grains with different sizes,shapes and orientations are unevenly distributed in the specimen and each grain plays a significant role in micro-scale plastic deformation and leads to inhomogeneous deformation and the scatter of experimental and simulation results.The slip system activity was examined and the predicted results are consistent with the surface layer model.The slip band is strictly influenced by the misorientation of neighbor grain with consideration of slip system activity.Furthermore,it is found that the decrease of roll force and the most active of slip system in surface grains are caused by the increase of free surface grain effect when the grain size is increased.The results of the physical experiment and simulation provide a basic understanding of micro-scaled plastic deformation behavior in asymmetric foil rolling.
