Effective Stabilization

Structural changes in a 9%Cr martensitic steel after 1%, 4% creep and creep rupture test at 650°C and stress of 118 MPa were examined. Heat treatment provided the formation of tempered martensite lath structure (TMLS) in the steel. The precipitations of second phase particles along block and lath boundaries provide effective stabilization of the TMSL under annealing/aging condition. This structure hardly changed under creep conditions in grip portion of crept sample. Significant coarsening of both the second phase particles and the martensite laths takes place in neck portion. In addition, the latter ones lose their original morphology and are replaced by large strain-induced subgrains. It should be noted that the increase of subgrain size is in almost direct proportion to the particle growth during the creep to 4% strain. The rapid growth of martesite laths followed by their evolution to deformation subgrains takes place within the tertiary creep regime.

The present study attempts to apply Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) to 99.99% pure copper. ECAP process was realized at room temperature for 4, 8 and 16 passes through route BC using a die having angle of 90°. The microstructure of the samples was investigated by means both light and transmission electron microscopy. Additionally the microhardness was measured and statistical analysis of the grains and subgrains was performed. Based on Kikuchi diffraction patterns misorientation was determined. There were some different types of bands in the microstructure after deformation. The shear bands, bands and in the submicron range the microshear bands and microbands are a characteristic feature of the microstructure of copper. Also characteristic was increasing of the number of bands with increasing of deformation and mutually crossing of the bands. The intersection of a bands and microbands leads to the formation of new grains with the large misorientation angle. The measured grain/subgrain size show, that the grain size is maintained at a similar level after each stage of deformation and is equal to d = 0.25 – 0.32 μm.

Cumulative Strain

15%Cr ferritic stainless steel was machined in rectangular samples and then processed by multiple forging to a total cumulative strain of 7.2 at an ambient temperature. The large strain deformation resulted in almost equiaxed submicrocrystalline structure with a mean grain/subgrain size of 230 nm and about 2.2×1014 m-2 dislocation density in grain/subgrain interiors. The annealing at a relatively low temperature of 500oC did not lead to any discontinuous recrystallizations. The grain/subgrain size and the interior dislocation density slightly changed to 240 nm and 2.1×1014 m-2, respectively, after annealing for 30 min, while the Vickers hardness decreased from 3140 MPa in the as-processed state to 2900 MPa. This annealing softening was attributed to remarkable release (by 50%) of internal stresses, which are associated with a non-equilibrium character of strain-induced grain/subgrain boundaries.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical grinding of prealloyed NiAl powder in liquid nitrogen (cryomilling) results in an intermetallic matrix composite where micron sized particle free aluminide cores (grains) are surrounded by thin mantles comprised of nanometer sized A1N particles and NiAl grains. Under high temperature, slow strain rate conditions both compressive and tensile creep testing have shown that the mechanical strength of hot extruded cryomilled NiAl approaches the levels exhibited by advanced NiAl-based single crystals and simple Ni-based superalloys. Transmission electron microscopy of cryomilled materials tested between 1100 and 1300 K revealed little, if any, dislocation structure within the mantle regions, while the NiAl cores contained subgrains and dislocation networks after testing at all strain rates between 10-4 and 10-8 s-1. These and other microstructural observations suggest that creep strength is the result of a fine NiAl grain/subgrain size, the inability of dislocations to move through the mantle and stabilization of the microstracture by the A1N particles.

Microstructural Aspect

The microstructure of 9% Cr cast steel for advanced power plants, serviced at around 580 − 600°C, after ageing has been characterized. The investigated cast steel was subject to ageing at the temperature of 600°C for 6000 and 8000 hrs. Quantitative TEM analysis of the cast steel microstructure was performed to describe the dislocation density within subgrains, the width of martensite subgrains and the M23C6 carbides parameters (shape and mean diameter). Moreover, the phase identification was carried out using electron diffraction. The results have shown that an increase in ageing time at 600°C temperature is the reason for slight increase in the subgrain size, the size of M23C6 carbides and a decrease in dislocation density within subgrains. The MX particle size was not changed. The Laves phase was identified in the cast steel microstructure after 6000 hrs of ageing.

The influence of thermomechanical processing on the Ti-21.8Nb-6Zr (TNZ) and Ti-19.7Nb-5.8Ta (TNT) (at%) alloys’ structure, phase composition, mechanical and functional properties is studied. Both alloys possess polygonized dislocation substructure (average subgrain size  100 nm), and manifest superelastic behavior at room temperature and recovery stress generation during constant-strain temperature scanning experiments. After aging treatment, both alloys were -phase precipitation hardened, but their mechanical behavior was impacted differently -- it was detrimental for TNZ and beneficial for TNT. The different impact of aging heat treatment on the mechanical behavior of these alloys is explained by the differences in the -phase nucleation rate, precipitates’ size, shape, volume fraction and distribution, and by their effect on the alloys’ critical stresses and transformation temperatures.

Abstract Nanostructured and nanocomposite layers NiCoCrAlY+ ZrO2-7%Y2O3, ZrO2-7% Y2O3+HfO2-9%Y2O3, HfO2-9%Y2O3 with thickness of ∽ 20 μm were formed by low pressure plasma spraying. The structure and composition of the layers have been studied using a scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, and XRD analysis. Thermal stability of the coatings has been analyzed using synchronous thermal analysis at temperatures up to 1600 °C. The results of structure and composition analysis of ZrO2-7%Y2O3+HfO2-9%Y2O3 layer suggest the formation ofnanocomposite co-doped regions of the ZrO2-HfO2-Y2O3 solid solution. The layer has greater thermal stability at temperatures up to 1600 ° C and a smaller subgrain size (∽ 33 nm) than for the ZrO2-7% Y2O3 and HfO2-9%Y2O3 layers.

The orientation dependence on recovery has been studied in cold-rolled and annealed polycrystalline high-purity aluminium (99.99 wt%), binary Al-0.25Mn and commercial purity aluminium. The growth mechanisms were found to be independent of the alloy system and the microchemistry only influences the coarsening kinetics. Orientation-dependent subgrain growth, mainly studied in high-purity aluminium and measured in lamellar bands of uniform orientation, occurs in three distinct ways, depending of the size of the local orientation gradients. Following the evolution in average subgrain size and boundary misorientation by detailed electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) characterization during annealing, it was found that the rate of subgrain growth in Cube- and Goss-oriented grains were faster than in the typical deformation texture components, particularly after an incubation time when discontinuous subgrain growth occurs. In commercial purity aluminium, general orientation-independent subgrain growth is faster than the orientation-dependent growth because more growth occurs in regions near high-angle grain boundaries separating differently oriented lamellar bands. It appears as if subgrains misoriented by more than 3.5° have a growth advantage over less misoriented subgrains, typically in the interior of lamellar bands. While the average boundary misorientations are decreasing, the individual boundary misorientations are increasing.
