The present study aimed to experimentally evaluate the mechanical properties of Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3–Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–PbTiO3 (PIN–PMN–PT) bulk single crystals with different crystallographic directions using the nanoindentation technique. The load–indentation depth curves, elastic and plastic deformations, hardnesses, and Young’s moduli of [100]- and [110]-oriented 0.28PIN–0.43PMN–0.29PT bulk single crystals were investigated. Our results show that with an increase in the maximum indentation depth hmax, the plastic residual percentage increased for both the [100]- and the [110]-oriented single crystals. At each hmax, the plastic residual percentage of the [100]-oriented PIN–PMN–PT single crystals was less than that of the [110]-oriented PIN–PMN–PT single crystals. At hmax from 500 nm to 2000 nm, the plastic deformation was larger than the elastic deformation, and the plastic residual percentage was larger than 50% for both the [100]- and the [110]-oriented single crystals. This means that the plastic deformation dominated in the indentation process of PIN–PMN–PT single crystals. The indentation size effect on the hardness of the PIN–PMN–PT single crystals was apparent in the nanoindentation process. Both the hardness and the Young’s modulus of the [100]-PIN–PMN–PT single crystals were greater than those of the [110]-PIN–PMN–PT single crystals, which indicates that the PIN–PMN–PT single crystals had anisotropic mechanical characteristics.

ABSTRACTMo5X3+α (X=Si, B, C) intermetallic compounds such as Mo5SiB2 (D8l), Mo5Si3 (D8m) and Mo5Si3C (D88) have a great potential for ultra-high temperature applications. The present study was undertaken putting greater emphasis on clarifying how their physical and mechanical properties are similar or different in terms of a structure type. Some interesting features are summarized in this paper.The resistivity of Mo5SiB2, Mo5Si3 and Mo5Si3C single crystals exhibited a negative curvature (d2ρ(T)/dT2<0), with a tendency towards saturation. In the Mo5Si3C with large ρ0 due to impurity carbon atoms, resistivity saturation is pronounced. In contrast, a much higher temperature is required to reach saturation in the Mo5SiB2. The anisotropy ratio of CTE (αc/αa) for the Mo5SiB2 is about 1.2–1.6 and is significantly reduced from about 2 of the Mo5Si3 and Mo5Si3C. On the other hand, the Young's modulus of the Mo5SiB2 is more anisotropic than those of the Mo5Si3 and Mo5Si3C. Plastic anisotropy was observed in the Mo5SiB2, because only slip on [001] {100} is operative at 1500°C. On the contrary, plastic deformation was observed at temperatures above 1300°C for the Mo5Si3C and Mo5Si3. Anisotropy of their plastic deformation was much less than that of the Mo5SiB2, presumably because more than two slip systems can be activated. Creep resistance of the Mo5SiB2 is much better than that of the Mo5Si3 as well as the most advanced materials such as MoSi2 and Si3N4 based structural ceramics.

ABSTRACTAn anomaly of the temperature dependence of the unit cell parameter has been observed for β–PbF2 single crystals at 200 K that is interpreted as a phase transition to a pseudocubic lattice. Such a pseudocubic phase is observable at room temperature after uniaxial plastic deformation of the bulk single crystals. The structural aspects of the β→α transition have been established. The as-grown crystals of α–PbF2 phase are shown to undergo a phase transition at 100 K.

If the film of a coated component deforms plastically because of operational loads, residual stresses are developed in the coating material after the load removal. In this way, material mechanical properties changes occur due to endogenous reasons i.e. induced by the coating crystalline structure plastic deformation. In this case, the determination of the effective film mechanical properties has been introduced in a recent publication [1]. Moreover, if the loading conditions lead only to a substrate plastic deformation, the coating remains elastically deformed during the relaxation, due to the substrate residual stresses. Thus, the associated material mechanical properties changes are caused by exogenous parameters related to the permanent substrate deformation. In the present paper, a novel experimental-analytical method based on FEM calculations is introduced to determine the effective film mechanical properties when the coating is stressed elastically due to a plastic substrate deformation. The perpendicular impact test is a convenient experimental procedure to investigate such an effect because under appropriate loading conditions, the substrate deforms plastically and the coating elastically. The pristine constitutive law of the applied PVD film was determined by nanoindentation and FEM supported results evaluation. Impact tests were conducted at various loads and loading cycles. The impact test was simulated by a two dimensional FEM model. Additionally, the developed elastic residual stress fields in the coating and the plastic ones of the substrate in the imprint were determined. In these calculations, a rate-independent anisotropic plasticity with kinematic hardening material law was considered and the film as an anisotropic material with variable mechanical properties in three main directions. Finally, by a FEM supported simulation of the nanoindention, the coating’s load-displacement behaviour in various areas of the impact imprint were predicted and the effective coating mechanical properties as well.

A differential hardness is needed for a spherical indenter to avoid large deformations of it during an indentation process. Tabor proposes a criterion for this, where the ball hardness should be at least 2.5 times harder than the specimen. Later, five models expand the Tabor proposal, such that the critical interference corresponding to the inception of plastic deformation depends on the Poisson's ratio. This paper discusses the difference among these models, showing that they can be divided in two groups only. In addition, their similarity depending on the specific mechanical properties of tested material was used to make the conversion between yield stress and hardness.

In this study we address the mechanical properties of Sb2S3 nanowires and determine their Young’s modulus using in situ electric-field-induced mechanical resonance and static bending tests on individual Sb2S3 nanowires with cross-sectional areas ranging from 1.1·104 nm2 to 7.8·104 nm2. Mutually orthogonal resonances are observed and their origin explained by asymmetric cross section of nanowires. The results obtained from the two methods are consistent and show that nanowires exhibit Young’s moduli comparable to the value for macroscopic material. An increasing trend of measured values of Young’s modulus is observed for smaller thickness samples.

The need for super-plasticity and high strength leads to the development of Severe Plastic Deformation technique. The strength of the material is directly dependent upon the grain size of the material. So, there is a need for producing Ultra-Fine Grain microstructure (UFG). UFG material is the material with very small grain size in the range of sub-micrometre. Application of severe plastic deformation, imparts extremely high strain. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a severe plastic deformation process in which the metal specimen is pressed through an angular channel of equal cross section. The material is subjected to shear deformation and strain is imparted in the specimen. Geometric parameters such as channel angle and corner angle play a major role in grain refinement. Aluminium (Al) specimens are subjected to undergo severe plastic deformation. Since, the strength of Al is not high, other materials are added in order to enhance its mechanical properties by matrix work hardening. Copper (Cu) along with Al shows increase in its strength and also in hardness. An attempt is made with Aluminium and copper, blended in the ratio 95:5 by weight with the main objective to study the Tensile strength, Hardness and Percentage Elongation properties of the specimen.
