Dynamic Grain Growth

Factors limiting the strain rate of superplastic deformation in oxide ceramics are discussed from existing knowledge about the mechanisms of high-temperature plastic deformation and intergranular cavitation. The discussion leads to the following guide: simultaneously controlling the initial grain size, diffusivity, dynamic grain growth, homogeneity of microstructure and the number of residual defects is essential to attain high-strain-rate superplasticity. Along this guide, high-strain-rate superplasticity (HSRS) is attainable in some oxides consisting of tetragonal zirconia, α-alumina and a spinel phase: tensile ductility reached 300-2500% at a strain rate of 0.01-1.0 s-1. Post-deformation microstructure indicates that some secondary phases may suppress cavitation damage and thereby enhance HSRS. The guide is also essential to lower the limit of deformation temperature for a given strain rate. In monolithic tetragonal zirconia, grain-size refinement combined with doping of aliovalnt cations such as Mg2+, Ti4+ and Al3+ led to HSRS at 1350 °C.

Complex Parts

Blow forming accompanied with superplasticity makes possible the forming of complex parts, which cannot be formed by cold press forming. The conventional superplastic AA5083 alloy ‘ALNOVI-1’ developed by the Furukawa-Sky Aluminum Corp. shows high superplasticity because of its fine grain and is widely used for blow forming. However, for mass production of components, an Al-Mg alloy with finer-sized grains is needed. In this research, the newly developed high Mn version of the Al-Mg alloy ‘ALNOVI-U’ is used, and this material possesses grains finer than those of the conventional AA5083 alloy. The effects of finer grain size on the blow formability at high strain rates over 10-2/s and the properties of the resulting moldings were studied.

ABSTRACTIt has been expected that “High rate superplastic materials” will be developed for industrial applications. The Dorntype equation for high temperature deformation suggests that strain rate can be increased if the grain size is decreased. This means that grain refinement can effectively establish high strain rate superplastic materials.It is well known that a high degree of grain size refinement will result from the addition of zirconium to Al-base alloys. Powder-metallurgical processing with rapidly solidified powders is also available for the improvement of superplasticity by both the refinement of the solidified structure and the maintenance of the stable fine structure of a 7475 Al alloy during recrystallization and deformation. Therefore. P/M 7475 Al alloys containing Zr up to 0.9 wt% were selected as candidate specimens. The objective of the present paper includes the clarification of the role and the effective amount of Zr to obtain high strain rate superplastic materials. As a result, the addition of 0.3%Zr or more is effective in grain refinement of the P/M 7475 Al alloy. However, alloys containing 0.7 and 0.9 wt%Zr only show superplasticity at 793K. The optimum strain rate is shifted to a higher range with increasing Zr. The alloy of 7475 Al-0.9%Zr shows the maximum elongation of 900% at the remarkably high strain rate of 3.3×10−1 s−1.The deformation mechanism of such high stain rate superplasticity will be discussed briefly, by considering the effect of the fine particles of Zr on superplastic behavior.

Fine Grained

Metals with a fine-grained microstructure have exceptional mechanical properties. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of the most successful ways to fabricate ultrafine-grained (UFG) and nanostructured (NC) materials. Most of the SPD techniques employ very low processing speeds. However, the lowest steady-state grain size which can be obtained by SPD is considered to be inversely proportional with the strain rate at which the severe deformation is imposed. In order to overcome this limitation, methods operating at higher rates have been envisaged and used to study the fragmentation process and the properties of the obtained materials. However, almost none of these methods, employ hydrostatic pressures which are needed to prevent the material from failing at high deformation strains. As such, their applicability is limited to materials with a high intrinsic ductility. Additionally, in some methods the microstructural changes are limited to the surface layers of the material. To circumvent these restrictions, a novel facility has been designed and developed which deforms the material at high strain rate under high hydrostatic pressures. Using the facility, commercially pure aluminum was processed and analysis of the deformed material was performed. The microstructure evolution in this material was compared with that observed in static high pressure torsion (HPT) processed material.

Polycrystalline Ice

This work presents the results of uniaxial compression tests on freshwater polycrystalline ice. Grain size of the test material ranged from 1.5 to 5 mm, strain rate ranged from 10−6 to 10−2 s−1 and the temperature was −5°C. The grain size effect emerged clearly as the strain rate increased to 10−5 s−1 and persisted to the highest applied strain rates. On average, the stated increase in grain size brought about a decrease in peak stress of approximately 31 percent. The occurrence of the grain size effect coincided with the onset of visible cracking. The strength of the material increased to a maximum at a strain rate of 10−3 s−1, and then dropped somewhat as the strain rate increased further to 10−2 s−1. Strain at peak stress generally tended to decrease with both increasing grain size and increasing strain rate. The results are discussed in terms of the deformational mechanisms which lead to the observed behavior.
