The strengthening effect at high temperature produced by a dispersed oxide phase in a metal matrix is seemingly dependent on at least two major contributors: oxide particle size and spatial distribution, and stability of the worked microstructure. These two are strongly interrelated. The stability of the microstructure is produced by polygonization of the worked structure forming low angle cell boundaries which become anchored by the dispersed oxide particles. The effect of the particles on strength is therefore twofold, in that they stabilize the worked microstructure and also hinder dislocation motion during loading.

Transient creep following stress reductions has been analysed by the method described by McLean (1980) to determine the friction stress σ 0 as a function of temperature and directional solidification conditions for the γ-γ'-Cr 3 Cr 2 in-situ composite and for the γ-γ' matrix alloy. These values of σ 0 are identical to the flow stresses at creep strain rates and can be identified with the sums of the barriers to dislocation motion through the matrix by climb around γ'-particles and Orowan bowing between the carbide fibres. The friction stress and the kinetics of deformation of the composite are determined by the matrix behaviour, whereas its creep strength depends on the distribution of stress between fibre and matrix. When the steady-state creep behaviour of γ-γ'-Cr 3 C 2 is analysed by using the usual power law description in terms of the effective stress σ — σ 0 , rather than the applied stress σ, the stress exponent is ca 4 and the activation energy is similar to the activation energy of self-diffusion for nickel. The results provide strong evidence for the operation of recovery-creep in both the composite and matrix alloys.

Microstructure evolution of Fe-1.18%Cu high purity steels during solution and aging was investigated under high-resolution electron microscope (HREM). In addition, the aging strengthening mechanisms were discussed based on the microstructure observation. The results show that there were lots of Cu atom clusters in ferrite matrix during solid solution and aging initial stages, subsequently, Cu-rich metastable Fe-Cu particles precipitate at the aging strength peak. It is found that the intense strengthening is controlled by the coherency relationship of Fe-Cu metastable phase with matrix that forms the obstacle of the dislocation motion, while the decrease of strength after the peak is attributed to the loss of coherency, which should highly likely be the dominant reason of aging strengthening in Cu bearing high purity steels Thus our TEM observation results are in reasonably agreement with some previous assume.

Internal friction peaks observed in single or polycrystals are clearly due to a dislocation relaxation mechanism. Because a sample observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) often exhibits in the same time various dislocation microstructures (isolated dislocations, dislocation walls, etc.) it is very difficult to connect the observed relaxation peak with a particular dislocation microstructure. Using isothermal mechanical spectroscopy (IMS), it is easier to compare, for instance, the evolution of a relaxation peak with measurement temperature to the microstructural evolution observed by in-situ TEM at the same temperatures. IMS was used to study a relaxation peak in a 5N aluminium single crystal firstly 1% cold worked and then annealed at various temperatures. TEM experiments performed in the same material at various temperatures equal to the temperatures used for the damping experiments made possible to link this internal friction peak with a relaxation effect occurring inside dislocation walls. In two other experiments in a 4N aluminium polycrystal and in a metal matrix composite with SiC whiskers, it is shown that the observed relaxation peaks are connected to the motion of dislocations inside polygonization boundaries in the first case and in dislocation pile-ups around each whisker in the second one. Theoretical models proposed to explain such relaxation peaks due to a dislocation motion inside a dislocation wall or network are discussed.

In copper and other face centered cubic metals, high-energy particle irradiation produces hardening and shear localization. Post-irradiation microstructural examination in Cu reveals that irradiation has produced a high number density of nanometer sized stacking fault tetrahedra. The resultant irradiation hardening and shear localization is commonly attributed to the interaction between stacking fault tetrahedra and mobile dislocations, although the mechanism of this interaction is unknown. In this work, we present results from a molecular dynamics simulation study to characterize the motion and velocity of edge dislocations at high strain rate and the interaction and fate of the moving edge dislocation with stacking fault tetrahedra in Cu using an EAM interatomic potential. The results show that a perfect SFT acts as a hard obstacle for dislocation motion and, although the SFT is sheared by the dislocation passage, it remains largely intact. However, our simulations show that an overlapping, truncated SFT is absorbed by the passage of an edge dislocation, resulting in dislocation climb and the formation of a pair of less mobile super-jogs on the dislocation.
