ABSTRACTSilicon carbide power devices are purported to be capable of operating at very high temperatures. Current commercially available SiC MOSFETs from a number of manufacturers have been evaluated to understand and quantify the aging processes and temperature dependencies that occur when operated up to 350°C. High temperature constant positive bias stress tests demonstrated a two times increase in threshold voltage from the original value for some device types, which was maintained indefinitely but could be corrected with a long negative gate bias. The threshold voltages were found to decrease close to zero and the on-state resistances increased quite linearly to approximately five or six times their room temperature values. Long term thermal aging of the dies appears to demonstrate possible degradation of the ohmic contacts. This appears as a rectifying response in the I-V curves at low drain-source bias. The high temperature capability of the latest generations of these devices has been proven independently; provided that threshold voltage management is implemented, the devices are capable of being operated and are free from the effects of thermal aging for at least 70 hours cumulative at 300°C.

AbstractHigh-temperature constant-force indentation creep tests of 200 seconds duration were performed on an annealed gold specimen at 473K to 773K, to investigate the dependence of the micro-/nano-indentation deformation kinetics upon indentation stress, temperature and time. The indent stress displayed a clear indentation size effect at 473 K. An analysis of the measured indentation creep rate, and its dependence upon temperature and stress, indicate that the strength of the deformation rate limiting obstacles increases with temperature. This is consistent with the expected temperature dependent evolution of the dislocation cell structure whose boundaries become the primary obstacles to dislocation glide.

The present investigation aims at studying the flow behaviour of magnesium alloys under different conditions in terms of temperature, deformation velocities and deformation. The modelling approach was based on a proposed equation to model the shape of each flow curve through different variables. The modelled flow curves were subsequently compared with those obtained with experiments. The models were validated on flow curves not used in the building stage. It was observed that, for low temperature values, high deformation velocities and deformations the final part of the flow curve has to be adapted in order to be adopted for the description of material in the numerical simulation. In other words it needs to be extrapolated. Also for the high temperature, the flow softening has to be limited in order to allow the extrapolation queue required for elevated deformations. The deformation value at which the extrapolation can start can be predicted with an other proposed equation detailed in the paper.

High temperature deformation behavior, especially the superplasticity of an 8090 Al-Li alloy, was studied within the recent framework of the internal variable theory of structural superplasticity. In this study, a series of load relaxation tests were conducted at various temperatures ranging from 200°C to 530°C to obtain the flow curves of log ε˙versus log ε. The effect of grain size was also examined by varying the grain sizes through a proper thermomechanical treatment. The flow curves were found to be composite curves consisting of contributions from grain boundary sliding (GBS) and grain matrix deformation (GMD) at superplastic temperatures. The activation energy obtained for GMD was 124.9 kJ/mole in the temperature range from 470°C to 530°C, very similar to that for self-diffusion in pure Al.

The efficiency factor (η) and the instability factor ([Formula: see text] in deformation processing maps are regarded as the reliable indices of formability during high-temperature deformation. Deformation processing maps are primarily based on strain rate sensitivity ( m) and are usually created by high-temperature compression tests. To analyze the effect of the mode of flow on the deformation processing map, deformation processing maps based on both compressive and tensile flow curves for 304L stainless steel were determined and compared in the current study. As the instantaneous strain rate varies during both the tensile and compression tests when a constant crosshead speed is used, strain rate compensated deformation processing maps have been determined and compared. In addition, the frictional effect of barreling during compression testing on the deformation processing map has been analyzed. Both deformation processing maps based on either compressive or tensile flow curves are estimated to be complementary.

This study aims to examine the influence of the temperatures of heat treatment on the puncture-resistance of Nylon6/LPET compound nonwoven fabrics. Polyamide 6 (Nylon 6) fibers and low-melting-point polyester (LPET) fibers are combined and undergo a heat treatment to make three-dimensional (3-D) Nylon 6/LPET compound nonwoven fabrics through a nonwoven process. The nonwoven fabrics are tested for their dynamic puncture resistance, constant rate puncture resistance, and impact strength. The experiment results show that when thermally treated at a high temperature, the compound nonwoven fabrics are rendered with a lower dynamic puncture resistance and a lower constant rate puncture resistance, but a greater impact strength.

The dynamic globularization behavior during hot working of Ti-6Al-4V alloy was investigated by high temperature torsion tests. The torsion tests were carried out to investigate microstructure evolution occurring during dynamic globularization in Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The torsion tests were performed under a wide range of temperatures and strain rates with true strain up to 2. The flow curves revealed that the amount of flow softening for the fine alpha-lamellae structure was higher than that for the coarse alpha-lamellae structure under the temperature of 900oC. The effects of hot deformation parameters and initial microstructures on the dynamic globularization were analyzed.
