Using Data

This article presents a review of the strain rate-dependent mechanical behavior of aluminum and its commercial alloys. The importance of strain rate sensitivity (SRS) stems from its relation with ductility and formability. Plastic deformation is stable and localization less likely in alloys with higher SRS. After discussing the basic formulation used to interpret experimental data, the methods used to measure the SRS parameter are presented. This is followed by a brief review of the main mechanisms that render the flow stress sensitive to the deformation rate, including mechanisms leading to positive and negative SRS. The generic dependence of the SRS parameter on the strain, temperature, and strain rate are further presented using data for pure Al. The effect of alloying is analyzed in the context of solid solutions and precipitated commercial alloys. Results on solid solutions are discussed separately at low and elevated temperatures in order to evidence the role of solute diffusion on SRS. This article ends with a brief discussion of the grain size dependence of SRS, with emphasis on recent efforts to produce nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained materials by severe plastic deformation.

The mechanical behavior of an AZ31 magnesium alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) was evaluated by tensile testing from room temperature up to 473 K at strain rates between 10-5 – 10-2 s-1. Samples tested at room temperature and at high strain rates at 373 K failed without any plastic deformation. However, significant ductility, with elongations larger than 200%, was observed at 423 K and 473 K and at low strain rates at 373 K. The high elongations are attributed to a pronounced strain hardening and a high strain rate sensitivity. The results agree with reports for a similar alloy processed by severe plastic deformation. However, the level of flow stress is lower and the strain rate sensitivity and the elongations are larger than observed in this alloy processed by conventional thermo-mechanical processing.

The mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained metals processed by equal channel angular pressing is investigated by nanoindentations in comparison with measurements on nanocrystalline nickel with a grain size between 20 and 400 nm produced by pulsed electrodeposition. Besides hardness and Young’s modulus measurements, the nanoindentation method allows also controlled experiments on the strain rate sensitivity, which are discussed in detail in this paper. Nanoindentation measurements can be performed at indentation strain rates between 10-3 s-1 and 0.1 s-1. Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained fcc metals as Al and Ni show a significant strain rate sensitivity at room temperature in comparison with conventional grain sized materials. In ultrafine-grained bcc Fe the strain rate sensitivity does not change significantly after severe plastic deformation. Inelastic effects are found during repeated unloading-loading experiments in nanoindentations.

Cp Ti

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) commercially pure (CP) Ti with a grain size of about 200 nm was produced by ECAP up to 8 passes using route BC at room temperature. For ECAP processing a proper die set was designed and constructed with an internal channel angle Φ of 120° and an outer arc of curvature Ψ of 20°. Strain rate sensitivity of UFG CP-Ti and CG CP-Ti were investigated by compression tests in the temperature range of 298~673K and strain rate range of 10-4~100s-1 using Gleeble simulator machine. Evolution of the microstructure during compression testing was observed using optical microscopy (OM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strain rate sensitivity value m of the UFG CP-Ti has been measured and is found to increase with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate, and is enhanced compared to that of CG CP-Ti. Result of the deformation activation energy determination of UFG CP-Ti indicates that the deformation mechanism in UFG CP-Ti is correlated to the grain boundaries.

Ultrafine Grained

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) can fabricate high-strength materials by forming an ultrafine grained (UFG) microstructure. Low elongation to failure of UFG materials in tensile tests, which has often been regarded as a measure of ductility of materials, has been attributed to low strain hardening of UFG structures where dislocation slip and its accumulation is very limited. In the present work, it is shown that the compressive extensibility of UFG materials can be comparable or potentially superior to that of annealed materials by using a parallel round-bar compression (PRBC) test which was designed for imposing an appropriate stress state preferable for high ductility using the shear mode. The high compressive extensibility of UFG materials can be a result of high accommodation of local strain incompatibility at non-equilibrium grain boundaries and a grain boundary-mediated deformation mechanism, which result in high damage tolerance against void formation and growth. Low strain rate sensitivity indicated that the superplastic viscous nature of deformation is not involved in the high compressive ductility of UFG materials using SPD.
