Abstract A model is suggested that describes enhanced strain rate sensitivity of nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained metals. Within the model, plastic deformation of such metals incorporates dislocation transmission across grain boundaries (GBs) in the stress fields of dislocation pileups, the emission of individual dislocations from GBs as well as GB sliding accommodated by GB dislocation climb and/or Coble creep. The model predicts a strong increase in the strain rate sensitivity and a decrease in the activation volume with decreasing grain size, in accord with experimental data.We also considered the effect of GB sliding and Coble creep on the anomalous dependence of the activation volume on temperature observed in nanocrystalline Ni. It is demonstrated that although an account for GB sliding and Coble creep leads to the appearance of cusps in the temperature dependence of the activation volume, these mechanisms alone cannot be responsible for the observed anomalous dependence of the activation volume on temperature.

Uniaxial compressive experiments of ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper fabricated by equal channel angular pressing method were performed at temperatures ranging from 77 K to 573 K under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. Based on the experimental results, the influence of temperature on flow stress, strain hardening rate and strain rate sensitivity (SRS) were investigated carefully. The results show that the flow stress of UFG copper displays much larger sensitivity to testing temperature than that of coarse grained copper. Meanwhile, both the strain hardening rate and its sensitivity to temperature of UFG copper are lower than those of its coarse counterpart. The SRS of UFG copper also shows apparent dependence on temperature. Although the estimated activation volume of UFG- Cu is on the order of ~10 b3, which is on the same order with that of grain boundary diffusion processes, these processes should be ruled out as dominant mechanisms for UFG- Cu at our experimental temperature and strain rate range. Instead, it is suggested that the dislocation-grain boundary interactions process might be the dominant thermally activated mechanism for UFG- Cu .

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.
