The dependence of the strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of α-Fe and Al 99.5, as typical representatives of fcc- and bcc-type metals, on the testing temperature and with respect to the microstructure is investigated. In particular, the differences between conventional grain size (CG) and ultrafine grain size (UFG) are pointed out. UFG Al 99.5 generally shows an elevated SRS compared to CG Al 99.5. In case of α-Fe the SRS of the UFG state is decreased at room temperature, but increased at 200 °C, compared to the CG state. It is shown that the SRS also influences the ductility of UFG-metals in tensile tests.

Room-temperature indentation experiments carried out on nanocrystalline Ni75at.%Al25at.% alloy films with a range of grain sizes revealed that the strain-rate sensitivity of hardness is nearly zero and that the hardness increases as grain size decreases. The strain-rate insensitivity of hardness indicates that the room-temperature strength of these alloy films is dominated by an athermal, strain-rate-insensitive component. The hardness of the films was found to be in the range of 2.4 to 3.3 GPa, depending on grain size.

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.

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.

ABSTRACTAn Al 5083 alloy with a bimodal grain size has been previously synthesized using a low-temperature milling process and consolidation via cold isostatic pressing (CIP). This material has been shown to exhibit greatly improved strength when compared to conventional aluminum alloys. Additionally, this material has shown sensitivity to test conditions. In this work, we studied the effects of temperature on the strain rate sensitivity of this material by examining its elastic and plastic properties though uniaxial tension tests conducted under a variety of conditions at temperatures up to 473 K. Serrated stress-strain curves were observed, indicating dynamic strain aging. Strain rate sensitivity was found to depend non-monotonically on the test temperature.

Experimental results on a mild steel are reported from ballistics tests which gave rise to strain rates of up to 105 s−1. A finite-difference numerical technique which incorporates material inertia, elastic-strain hardening and strain-rate sensitivity is used to establish the strain-rate sensitivity constants p and D in the equation, σ4 = σ1 (1+(∊/D)1/ p). The rate sensitivity established in this study is compared with those reported by other researchers.

AbstractThe strain rate sensitivity ß of the flow stress τ is associated with workhardening and β=(δτ/δln ε) is proportional to the workhardening increment τh = τ - τy, where τy is the strain rate independent yield stress. The temperature dependence of β/τh reflects changes in the rate controlling mechanism. At intermediate and high temperatures, the hardening correlates with the density of [101] dislocations on (010). The nature of the local obstacles at room temperature is not established.
