Localization Of Plastic Deformation

In this paper, comparison studies of the hydrogen effect on the structural and phase state, deformation behavior, and mechanical properties of the fine- (average grain size 4 µm) and ultrafine-grained (average element size 0.3 and 0.4 µm) Zr–1wt.%Nb (hereinafter Zr–1Nb) alloy under tension at temperatures in the range of 293–873 K were conducted. The formation of an ultrafine-grained structure is established to increase the strength characteristics of the Zr–1Nb alloy by a factor of 1.5–2 with a simultaneous reduction of its resistance to the localization of plastic deformation at the macro level and the value of deformation to failure. The presence of hydrogen in the Zr–1Nb alloy in the form of a solid solution and hydride precipitates increases its resistance to the localization of plastic deformation at the macro level if the alloy has an ultrafine-grained structure and decreases if the structure of the alloy is fine-grained. In the studied temperature range, the Zr–1Nb alloy in the ultrafine-grained state has a higher resistance to hydrogen embrittlement than the alloy in the fine-grained state.

An aged Al-5Zn-1.6Mg alloy with fine η' precipitates was grain refined to ~100 nm grain size by severe plastic deformation (SPD). Microstructure evolution during SPD and mechanical behaviour after SPD of the alloy were characterized by electron microscopy and tensile, compression as well as nanoindentation tests. The influence of η' precipitates on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained Al-Zn-Mg alloy is discussed with respect to their effect on dislocation configurations and deformation mechanisms during processing of the alloy.

The equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the methods to refine the grain size of metallic materials. This study investigates the effect of ECAP process on the formation of the fine grain size in oxygen free Cu and Cu alloys. The average grain size has been refined from 150 µm before ECAP to 300 nm. Microstructure was analyzed by transmission electron micrography (TEM). The diffraction pattern of the selected area confirmed the formation of ultrafine-grained structure with high angle grain boundaries after 8 cycles of ECAP. Mechanical properties such as microhardness and tensile properties of the ultra-fine grained copper materials have been investigated.

Hot Torsion

Current research in the field of iron aluminides are directed towards to understand the structural phenomena occurring during plastic deformation of these alloys. The obtained results of the study and collected informations will be used to determine the description of the structural changes taking place during hot deformation of Fe ̶Al alloys. The article presents the results of the study of the alloy FeAl28Cr5 deformed by hot torsion in temperature range of 800÷1100°C and a strain rate of 0.1 s-1. The analysis of the structure of the alloy FeAl28Cr5 allowed to reveal changes caused by dynamic processes of deformation. The results of torsion tests show the possibility to obtain a fine-grained structure with of parameters of the processes (T=1000°C, 1100°C) and strain of ε=40. After deformation at strain of (ε=40) the structure consists of fine grains with a misorientation angle higher than 15°, and the average grain size diameter D=28.5 micrometers. Deformation at a temperature of T=1000°C and 1100°C is accompanied by superplastic flow effect.
