Ferroelectric domains are twins that are formed when PZT undergoes a phase transformation from a non-ferroelectric cubic phase to a ferroelectric tetragonal phase upon cooling below ∼375°C.,1 The tetragonal phase is spontaneously polarized in the direction of c-axis, making each twin a ferroelectric domain. Thin foils of polycrystalline Pb (Zr.52Ti.48)03 were made by ion milling and observed in the Philips EM301 with a double tilt stage.

Phase transformation and preferred orientation in ZrO2 thin films, deposited on Si(111) and Si(100) substrates, and prepared by heat treatment from carboxylate solution precursors were investigated. The deposited films were amorphous below 450 °C, transforming gradually to the tetragonal and monoclinic phases on heating. The monoclinic phase developed from the tetragonal phase displacively, and exhibited a strong (111) preferred orientation at temperature as low as 550 °C. The degree of preferred orientation and the tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation were controlled by heating rate, soak temperature, and time. Interfacial diffusion into the film from the Si substrate was negligible at 700 °C and became significant only at 900 °C, but for films thicker than 0.5 μm, overall preferred orientation exceeded 90%.

We are interested in the energetic cost of a martensitic inclusion of volume V in austenite for the cubic-to-tetragonal phase transformation. In contrast with the work of Knüpfer, Kohn and Otto (Commun. Pure Appl. Math.66 (2013), 867–904), we consider a domain with a corner and obtain a better scaling law for the minimal energy (Emin ∼ min(V2/3, V7/9)). Our predictions are in good agreement with physical experiments where nucleation of martensite is usually observed near the corners of the specimen.

Microalloyed steels are used in the forging of many automotive parts like crankshafts and connecting rods. They are hot worked in a sequence of stages that includes the heating to the soaking temperature, followed by forging steps, and finally the controlled cooling to define the microstructure and mechanical properties. In this work it was investigated the thermomechanical behavior and the microstructural evolution of a Ti-V microalloyed steel in the phase transition region. Torsion tests were done with multiple steps with true strain equal to 0.26 in each step. After each torsion step the samples were continuous cooled for 15 seconds to simulate hot forging conditions. These tests provided results for the temperature at the beginning of the phase transformation, and allowed to analyze the microstructural changes. Also, workability tests were held to analyze the microstructural evolution by optical and scanning electron microscopy. Results from the torsion tests showed that the temperature for the beginning of phase transformation is about 700 ºC. Workability tests held at 700 ºC followed by water-cooling presented microstructures with different regions: strain hardened, and static and dynamic recrystallized. Workability tests at 700 ºC followed by air-cooling showed a complex microstructure with ferrite, bainite and martensite, while tests at 650 and 600 ºC followed by water-cooling showed a microstructure with allotriomorphic ferrite present in the grain boundaries of the previous austenite.
