Abstract

Here, the microstructures and mechanical properties of a low-alloy medium-carbon steel with a duplex microstructure composed of nanoscale spheroidized carbides in ultrafine-grained (UFG) ferritic steel are examined. The average grain size of the studied steel is ~ 430 nm, and these grains coexist with numerous carbides. Neutron diffraction reveals that the intensity of (011) and (022) peaks for the UFG sample is significantly enhanced, suggesting that the (011)//RD texture is a result of the warm rolling process. The lattice parameter of UFG steel is smaller than that of a martensitic steel (M steel) counterpart, indicating a lower carbon concentration in the lattice. The estimated dislocation densities for M steel and UFG steel are 2.59 × 10¹⁴ cm^–2 and 1.76 × 10¹² cm^–2, respectively. The UFG steel reveals a nearly isotropic lattice strain response under initial tension from 0 to 450 MPa, where the lattice strains of the (110), (002), and (112) planes are identical. The increase of lattice strain of the (110) plane becomes smaller than that of the (002) and (112) planes as the stress exceeds 450 MPa, suggesting that the nanosized carbides contribute to the hardening ability by promoting the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations around the particles,more »« less

A Micro-Alloyed Ferritic Steel Strengthened by Nanoscale Precipitates

Journal Article Shen, Yongfeng ; Wang, Chong M. ; Sun, Xin - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

A high strength ferritic steel with finely dispersive precipitates was investigated to reveal the fundamental strengthening mechanisms. Using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), fine carbides with an average diameter of 10 nm were observed in the ferrite matrix of the 0.08%Ti steel, and some cubic M23C6 precipitates were also observed at the grain boundaries and the interior of grains. The dual precipitate structure of finely dispersive TiC precipitates in the matrix and coarse M23C6 at grain boundaries provides combined matrix and grain boundary strengthening. The calculated amount of precipitation strengthening by the carbides was approximatelymore »« less

Creep study of mechanisms involved in low-temperature superplasticity of UFG Ti-6Al-4V processed by SPD

Journal Article Kral, Petr ; CEITEC – IPM ASCR, v.v.i., Zizkova 22, CZ-61662 Brno ; Dvorak, Jiri ; ... - Materials Characterization

The deformation kinetics of ultrafine-grained Ti-6Al-4V with mean (sub)grain size about 150 nm (produced by isothermal multiaxial forging) and superplastic properties at the relatively low temperature of 873 K was investigated in compression and tension over a large range of strain rates from 10{sup −7} to 10{sup −2} s{sup −1}. Electron microscopic observations showed that the grains coarsen during deformation towards the quasi-stationary spacing w{sub qs} of strain induced boundaries. In spite of the grain coarsening the grains were generally smaller than w{sub qs} allowing high-angle boundaries to dominate the quasi-stationary strength. Texture measurements indicate that dislocation glide plays amore »« less

Dislocation decorrelation and relationship to deformation microtwins during creep of a y' precipitate strengthened Ni-based superalloy

Journal Article Unocic, R R ; Zhou, N ; Kovarik, Libor ; ... - Acta Materialia, 59(19):7325–7339

The evolution of microtwins during high temperature creep deformation in a strengthened Ni-base superalloy has been investigated through a combination of creep testing, TEM characterization, theoretical modeling and computer simulation. Experimentally, microtwin nucleation sources were identified and their evolution was tracked by characterizing the deformation substructure at different stages of the creep deformation. Initially, deformation is highly localized around stress concentrators such as carbides, borides and serrated grain boundaries, which act as sources of a/2<110> matrix type dislocations. Due to microstructural effects such as fine channels between particles and low matrix stacking fault energies, the a/2<110> matrix dislocations dissociate intomore »« less

Understanding misfit strain releasing mechanisms via molecular dynamics simulations of CdTe growth on {112}zinc-blende CdS

Journal Article Zhou, Xiaowang ; Chavez, Jose J. ; Almeida, Sergio F. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to analyse microstructures of CdTe films grown on {112} surfaces of zinc-blende CdS. Interestingly, CdTe films grow in <331> orientations as opposed to <112> epitaxial orientations. At the CdTe-{331}/CdS-{112} interface, however, there exists an axis that is parallel to the <110> orientation of both CdS and CdTe. It is the direction orthogonal to this <110> that becomes different, being <116> for CdTe and <111> for CdS, respectively. Missing CdTe-{110} planes are found along the <110> axis, suggesting that the misfit strain is released by the conventional misfit dislocation mechanism along this axis. In themore »« less
