Influence of strain aging on the strain-rate sensitivity of the flow stress

Journal Article · · Scr. Metall.; (United States)

Previously published studies on the deformation kinetics of several fcc alloys, i.e. single crystals of Al-0.7% Mg, polycrystals of AlMg, Inconel 600, Inconel X750, NiCo, AuCu, and FeC, are cited, and two models are proposed to explain the reported observations. The calculations suggest that excess vacancies play an important role in the dynamic strain aging of the alloys and that an intermediate thermal annealing process should remove the vacancies. (BLM)
