The experimental evidence for the realization of a superplastic behavior with 900% elongation in V-alloyed high-nitrogen austenitic Fe-19Cr-22Mn-1.5V-0.3C-0.6N steel was proposed. Using thermomechanical processing, a misoriented grain/subgrain austenitic microstructure with a high density of deformation-assisted defects and precipitates was developed in the steel. During high-temperature tensile deformation in a temperature interval from 850 to 1000 °C and strain-rate range from 4 × 10−4 s−1 to 6 × 10−3 s−1, this microstructure demonstrated the characteristics of superplastic flow: elongation in the interval 400–900%, strain-rate sensitivity exponent m = 0.40–0.49, grain boundary sliding mechanism. The maximum elongation to failure (900%) was reached at deformation temperature 950 °C and strain rate 4 × 10−4 s−1.

The conventional consensus has it that the magnitude of the strain rate sensitivity observed in superplastic materials is linked with grain boundary sliding. The grain boundary sliding mechanism is thought to theoretically produce a strain rate sensitivity exponent of 0.5, which is in good agreement with experimental data. The present paper argues that a rate sensitivity of 0.5 can be generated by dislocation slip under certain temperature and strain rate regimes that overlap with conditions representative of superplasticity. A physically based slip model that links the relevant microstructural parameters to the macroscopic strain rate is proposed.

A commercial AA2519 alloy with a chemical composition of Al-5.64Cu-0.33Mn-0.23Mg-0.15Zr (in wt. %) was subjected to two-step thermomechanical processing (TMP) providing the formation of fully recrystallized structure with an average grain size of ~7 mm in 3 mm thin sheets. Superplastic tensile tests were performed in the temperature interval 450-535°C and initial strain rates ranging from ~2.8 x 10-4 to ~6.0 x 10-1 s-1. The highest elongation-to-failure of ~750% appears at a temperature of ~525°C and an initial strain rate of ~1.4 × 10-4 s-1 with the corresponding strain rate sensitivity coefficient of ~0.46.

ABSTRACTConcurrent grain growth, and in particular, dynamic grain growth, was observed to take place during superplastic deformation of Y-TZP. As a result of this concurrent grain growth, the measured strain rate sensitivity was found to be lower than that measured under constantstructure conditions. In the present paper, data obtained from the superplastic deformation of YTZP under constant-structure conditions are presented. It is demonstrated that the strain rate sensitivity values are generally higher than 0.5, when measured from the grain size-compensated data; this result suggests a grain boundary sliding mechanism. Microstructures from samples prior to and after superplastic deformation reveal grains which are essentially equiaxed; this observation is also consistent with a grain boundary sliding mechanism. Both high-resolution images of grain boundary triple points using transmission electron microscopy, and fracture surface studies using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate that there is no evidence for the presence of glassy phases at grain boundaries in Y-TZP.

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was conducted using the die with a 90° angled channel under routes A, BC and C for hot extruded AZ91 magnesium alloy. Tensile tests were carried out at 300 °C and initial strain rates ranging from 2×10−4 to 5×10−3 s−1. The experimental results show that different routes have obviously effect on elongation to failure. It is found that the highest elongation to failure is 410 % at a strain rate of 2×10−4 s−1 for the ECAPed AZ91 alloy with route BC. At the same strain rate, route BC can bring the greater superplasticitic deformation compared with routes A and C. Moreover, the strain rate sensitivity coefficient m values of about 0.3 to 0.5 are attained for the ECAPed AZ91 alloys with different routes. For the ECAPed AZ91 alloys, the main superplastic deformation mechanism is the grain boundary sliding, while the main accommodation mechanism is the dislocation creep mechanism controlled by the grain boundary diffusion.

The current study analyzed the effect of Ni content on the microstructure and superplastic deformation behavior of the Al-Mg-Si-Cu-based alloy doped with small additions of Sc and Zr. The superplasticity was observed in the studied alloys due to a bimodal particle size distribution. The coarse particles of eutectic origin Al3Ni and Mg2Si phases with a total volume fraction of 4.0–8.0% and a mean size of 1.4–1.6 µm provided the particles with a stimulated nucleation effect. The L12– structured nanoscale dispersoids of Sc- and Zr-bearing phase inhibited recrystallization and grain growth due to a strong Zener pinning effect. The positive effect of Ni on the superplasticity was revealed and confirmed by a high-temperature tensile test in a wide strain rate and temperature limits. In the alloy with 4 wt.% Ni, the elongation-to-failure of 350–520% was observed at 460 °C, in a strain rate range of 2 × 10−3–5 × 10−2 s−1.

Superplastic deformation (SPD) behaviors of two fine-grained materials produced by ECAE and hot rolling methods have been contrastively studied in this paper. It is found that the optimum superplastic condition in as-ECAEed material was at 350°C and 1.7×10-3s-1 with elongation to failure about 800%; while in as-rolled material, the largest elongation to failure about 1000% was obtained at 480°C and 5.02×10-4s-1. Microstructure observation showed that grain evolution and cavitation behavior were different in these two materials during superplastic deformation. The controlled mechanisms for superplasticity, i.e. grain boundary sliding (GBS), dislocation creep and diffusional creep, at different deformation conditions were discussed in terms of strain rate sensitivity coefficient, stress exponent and activity energy.

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 443 K was used to introduce an ultra-fine grained (UFG) microstructure to a Zr and Sc modified 7075 aluminum alloy. Using the methods of TEM and EBSD, an average grain size of 0.6 1m was recorded after the pressing. The UFG microstructure remained very stable up to the temperature of 723 K, where the material exhibited high strain rate superplasticity (HSRSP) with elongations to failure of 610 % and 410 % at initial strain rates of 6.4 x 10-2 s-1 and 1 x 10-1 s-1, respectively. A strain rate sensitivity parameter m in the vicinity of 0.45 was observed at temperatures as high as 773 K. At this temperature, the material still reached an elongation to failure of 430 % at 2 x 10-2 s-1. These results confirm the stabilizing effect of the Zr and Sc additions on the UFG microstructure in a 7XXX series aluminum alloy produced by severe plastic deformation.

Additive manufacturing by Selective Laser Melting of metals is attracting substantial attention, due to its advantages, such as short-time production of customized structures. This technique is useful for building complex components using a metallic pre-alloyed powder. One of the most used materials in AMSLM is AlSi10Mg powder. Additively manufactured AlSi10Mg may be used as a structural material and it static mechanical properties were widely investigated. Properties in the strain rates of 5×102–1.6×103 s-1 and at higher strain rates of 5×103 –105 s-1 have been also reported. The aim of this study is investigation of dynamic properties in the 7×102–8×103 s-1 strain rate range, using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. It was found that the dynamic properties at strain-rates of 1×103–3×103 s-1 depend on a build direction and affected by heat treatment. At higher and lower strain-rates the effect of build direction is limited. The anisotropic nature of the material was determined by the ellipticity of samples after the SHPB test. No strain rate sensitivity was observed.

<p>Magnesium based alloy containing 9 wt. % Li, 1,5 wt. % Al, composed of a + b (hcp + bcc) phases was cast under argon atmosphere and extruded at 350<sup>o</sup>C. Up to 3 passes of Twist Channel Angular Pressing TCAP deformation was applied at 160<sup>o</sup>C. TCAP tool consisted of helical part in horizontal area of the channel with angle of lead γ = 30° to simulate back pressure. The initial grain size of hexagonal a phase estimated at 30 mm decreased in following passes down to 6 mm and that of bcc b phase decreased after TCAP from initial 12 mm down to 5 mm. TEM studies after TCAP passes showed higher dislocation density in the b region than in the a phase. Crystallographic relationship (001) a || (110) b indicated parallel positioning of slip planes of both phases. Electron diffraction confirmed increase of grain misorientation with number of TCAP passes. Stress/strain curves measured at temperature 200<sup>o</sup>C showed superplastic forming after 1<sup>st</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass. Values of strain rate sensitivity coefficient <em>m</em> were calculated at 0.31 after 1 TCAP pass and increased after 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass up to 0.47 for the strain rate range 10<sup>-5</sup> – 5 10<sup>-4</sup>. Increase of number of TCAP passes had positive effect on superplastic properties due to finer grains and increase of their misorientation;</p>
