In this work, we are interested in examining the strain rate effect on the mechanical behavior of Ni–Ti superelastic wires after hydrogen charging and ageing for 24 h. Specimens underwent 50 cycles of loading-unloading, reaching an imposed deformation of 7.6%. During loading, strain rates from 10−4 s−1 to 10−2 s−1 were achieved. With a strain rate of 10−2 s−1, the specimens were charged by hydrogen for 6 h and aged for one day showed a superelastic behavior marked by an increase in the residual deformation as a function of the number of cycles. In contrast, after a few number of cycles with a strain rate of 10−4 s−1, the Ni-Ti alloy archwire specimens fractured in a brittle manner during the martensite transformation stage. The thermal desorption analysis showed that, for immersed specimens, the desorption peak of hydrogen appeared at 320 °C. However, after annealing the charged specimens by hydrogen at 400 °C for 1 h, an embrittlement took place at the last cycles for the lower strain rates of 10−4 s−1. The present study suggests that the embrittlement can be due to the development of an internal stress in the subsurface of the parent phase during hydrogen charging and due to the creation of cracks and local zones of plasticity after desorption.

AbstractThis paper presents and discusses the results of constant deformation-rate tests on laboratory-prepared polycrystalline ice. Strain-rates ranged from 10−7to 10−1s−1, grain–size ranged from 1.5 to 5.8 mm, and the test temperature was −5°C.At strain-rates between 10−7and 10−3s−1, the stress-strain-rate relationship followed a power law with an exponent ofn= 4.3 calculated without regard to grain-size. However, a reversal in the grain-size effect was observed: below a transition point near 4 × 10−6s−1the peak stress increased with increasing grain-size, while above the transition point the peak stress decreased with increasing grain-size. This latter trend persisted to the highest strain-rates observed. At strain-rates above 10−3s−1the peak stress became independent of strain-rate.The unusual trends exhibited at the lower strain-rates are attributed to the influence of the grain-size on the balance of the operative deformation mechanisms. Dynamic recrystallization appears to intervene in the case of the finer-grained material and serves to lower the peak stress. At comparable strain-rates, however, the large-grained material still experiences internal micro-fracturing, and thin sections reveal extensive deformation in the grain-boundary regions that is quite unlike the appearance of the strain-induced boundary migration characteristic of the fine-grained material.

General Deformation

An Al-3Mg (wt. %) alloy was studied after equal channel angular pressing and subsequent cold rolling. The mechanical behavior of the alloy in the temperature range from 223 K to 373 K (from –50°C to 125°C) at strain rates 2.1×10–1 – 5.2×10–5 s–1 was investigated. The analysis of stress-strain curves was performed to determine the conditions of manifestation of the Portevin – Le Chatelier (PLC) effect in investigated alloy. The deformation curve at a temperature of 298 K (25°C) and a strain rate of 1×10–3 s–1 is characterized by instability of plastic flow in contrast to the deformation curves obtained under other studied strain rate/temperature conditions. Stress oscillations at the necking stage were observed at high temperatures (>323 K (50°C)) and lower strain rates (1×10–4 s–1 and 5.2×10–5 s–1) forming the left border of the PLC effect domain. In general, deformation curves are characterized by the absence of stress serrations during the uniform elongation.

The uniaxial compression test was performed on artificial freshwater ice with a precise control-temperature unit compression tester of ice under -5, -10, -15, -20 and-30°C temperatures and strain rates ranging from 10-8 to 10-2 s-1. The loading direction was parallel to ice surface. The results showed that the compressive strength was very sensitive to the strain-rate. The uniaxial compressive strengths reached the maximum value at the ductile-brittle transition region, and the region was gradually close to the lower strain-rate with the decreasing temperature of test. Both the strain-rate and uniaxial compressive strength dependences could be expressed in terms of power function in the relevant ductile range of strain-rate. The tests also revealed that failure stress of ice increases with decreasing of temperature at the same strain rate.

The paper summarizes results of tensile tests in low alloy steel (LAS) specimens (steels 15Kh2MFA and 15Kh2NMFA). Slow Strain Rate Tensile tests (SSRT) were performed in air at temperatures from 22 to 325°C over a wide range of strain rates from 2.5×10-6 to 1.67×10-3 s-1. The possible effect of strain rate and temperature to mechanical properties of tested LAS is searched for. The dynamic strain ageing (DSA) was observed within certain temperature ranges at lower strain rates tested and its hardening effect in terms of the maximum strengthening stress decreased linearly with the increase of log strain rate. It has been found that the occurrence of susceptibility to environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) of tested steels in high temperature water (HTW) is corelated to the DSA behavior. The result suggest that DSA reduces ductility of reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel and its role in enhancing the EAC of RPV steels should not be neglected, in view of the coincidence with susceptibility zones for DSA and EAC in terms of strain rate and temperature. A reasonable coincidence was observed between the susceptibility to DSA exhibited by SSRT in air and with the EAC behavior observed in laboratory experiments.

The aim of this paper is to determine the relaxation behavior of the therapeutic tape under different thermomechanical conditions over different time spans and to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of selected kinesiology tapes. The relaxation test was conducted under a static condition with two extended levels (25% and 50%) for one hour and a dynamic condition for 300 cycles with different loading-unloading values, strain rates, and temperatures. For both static and dynamic conditions, at a lower strain rate and higher load and temperature, the therapeutic tapes showed higher loss of internal stress and faster losses of efficiency. Under all selected conditions, the tape’s stress has decreased rapidly.

Low Strain Rate

Samples extracted from flow formed tubes made of 18% nickel maraging steel grade C18Ni1750 were subjected to tensile testing at room temperature in laboratory environment at two different strain rates. Testing was carried out in as flow formed as well as flow formed and aged conditions. Aging was carried out adopting four different cycles. Distinct loss of ductility was observed at the lower strain rate in all tested conditions. The embrittlement occurring during low strain rate testing is explained in terms of hydrogen induced damage, hydrogen coming from the moisture in the environment. It is also concluded that the heavy cold work imparted to the material during flow-forming is importantly responsible for the ductility loss observed at low strain rate.

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was investigated through hot compression at temperatures of 830–1230°C and strain rates of 0.001–10 s−1. From the experimental results, most true stress-strain curves showed the typical nature of DRX that a single peak was reached at low strains followed by a decrease of stress and a steady state finally at relatively high strains. The constitutive behavior of 5CrNiMoV steel was analyzed to deduce the operative deformation mechanisms, and the correlation between flow stress, temperature, and strain rate was expressed as a sine hyperbolic type constitutive equation. Based on the study of characteristic stresses and strains on the true stress-strain curves, a DRX kinetics model was constructed to characterize the influence of true strain, temperature, and strain rate on DRX evolution, which revealed that higher temperatures and lower strain rates had a favorable influence on improving the DRX volume fraction at the same true strain. Microstructure observations indicated that DRX was the main mechanism and austenite grains could be greatly refined by reducing the temperature of hot deformation or increasing the strain rate when complete recrystallization occurred. Furthermore, a DRX grain size model of 5CrNiMoV was obtained to predict the average DRX grain size during hot forming.

Tensile tests were performed at constant strain rates from 10−2 to 10−5 min−1 on 5454-O and 1100-O aluminum alloys, A515 Grade 70 steel and B166 nickel alloy at room temperature and at elevated-temperature ranges where the design stress basis normally changes from tensile to creep-rupture controlled. The results in general showed that the strength of the alloys decreased at lower strain rates, and the sensitivity to strain rate was greater at elevated temperatures except where metallurgical phenomena such as dynamic strain aging negate the effects of strain rate. At the highest temperature the decrease in strength properties ranged from 11 to 50 percent over the strain rate range for different alloys.

Purpose 12Cr2Mo1R(H) steel is commonly used to make hot-wall hydrogenation reactors given its excellent mechanical properties and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) resistance. Longtime exposure to high-pressure hydrogen at medium temperature would still severely damage the mechanical properties of the Cr-Mo steel with surface HICs caused by hydrogen adsorption and hydrogen uptake. The mechanisms of HE remain controversial and have not been fully understood so far. Design/methodology/approach The HE of the steel was investigated by slow strain rate test at different strain rates with in situ hydrogen charging. The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen in the steel is measured by electrochemical technology of hydrogen permeation. HIC cracks of the fractured specimens were captured with field emission SEM equipped with an electron backscatter diffraction system. Findings Results showed that the hydrogen led to the plasticity of the samples reduced significantly, together with the distinct work hardening behavior induced by hydrogen charging during plastic flow stage. The fracture of in situ charged sample changes from quasi-cleavage to intergranular fracture with the decreasing of strain rates, which indicates that the steel become more susceptible to hydrogen. High densities of dislocations and deformation are found around the crack, where grains are highly sensitive to HIC. Grains with different Taylor factor are more susceptible to intergranular crack. Originality/value The results of the study would be helpful to a safer application of the steel.
