Abstract

A serrated flow, which occurs in a material undergoing mechanical deformation, is a complex process of great engineering significance. Here statistical, dynamical, and multifractal modeling and analyses were performed on the stress-time series to characterize and model the stress-drop behavior of an Al _0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA). Results indicate that the spatiotemporal dynamics of the serrated flow is affected by changes in the strain rate and test temperature. The sample entropy, in general, was found to be the highest in the samples tested at 500°C. The higher complexity in the serrated flow at this temperature appeared to be associated with the stress-drop behavior that had intermediate values in terms of the maximum stress drop, the multifractality of the data set, and the histogram distributions. Moreover, the sample entropy was the lowest for the samples tested at 600 °C. The lower complexity values were associated with a wider multifractal spectrum and a less uniform and sparser distribution of the stress-drop magnitudes. In terms of the serration types, Type-C serrations were related to the lowest complexity values, widest multifractal spectra, and higher probability of exhibiting larger stress drops. Conversely, Type-A and B serrations were associated with the higher complexity, narrower spectra, andmore »« less

Temperature effects on the serrated behavior of an Al _0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy

Journal Article Chen, Shuying ; Xie, Xie ; Li, Weidong ; ... - Materials Chemistry and Physics

Compression experiments of the Al _0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) under displacement control were conducted at different temperatures ranging from 673 K to 873 K with a low strain rate of 2 x 10 ^-4/s to study its serration behavior. Samples after compression tests were investigated, using the synchrontron-diffraction technique and transmission-electron microscopy. By comparing the stress-strain curves at different temperatures, two opposite directions of serrations were observed, named the upward serration appearing at 573 K and 673 K and the downward serration at 773 K and 873 K. The different directions of serrations were discussed in terms of not onlymore »« less

Roles of nanoclusters in shear banding and plastic deformation of bulk metallic glasses

Technical Report Nieh, T G

During the course of this research we published 33 papers in various physics/material journals. We select four representing papers in this report and their results are summarized as follows. I. To study shear banding process, it is pertinent to know the intrinsic shear strain rate within a propagating shear band. To this aim, we used nanoindentation technique to probe the mechanical response of a Au49Ag5.5Pd2.3Cu26.9Si16.3 bulk metallic glass in locality and found notable pop-in events associated with shear band emission. Using a free volume model and under the situation when temperature and stress/hardness are fixed result in an equation, whichmore »« less

Effects of temperature on serrated flows of Al _0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy

Journal Article Chen, Shuying ; Xie, Xie ; Chen, Bilin ; ... - Journal of The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society

Compression behavior of the Al _0.5CoCrCuFeNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) was studied at different temperatures from 673 K to 873 K at a low strain rate of 5 x 10 ^–5/s to investigate the temperature effect on the mechanical properties and serration behavior. The face-centered-cubic (fcc) structure is confirmed at the lower temperature of 673 K and 773 K, and a structure of mixed fcc and body-centered cubic (bcc) is identified at a higher temperature of 873 K after compression tests using high-energy synchrotron x-ray diffraction. As a result, by comparing the stress–strain curves at different temperatures, two opposite directions ofmore »« less

Dislocation structures due to inhomogeneous flow in constant-stress-rate and constant-strain-rate tests

Journal Article Dlouhy, A. ; Kumar, S. ; Pink, E. - Scripta Metallurgica et Materialia; (United States)

Since its discovery decades ago, a lot of research has been done on the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect and the inhomogeneous flow associated with it. The studies concentrated on the features of localized deformation bands, their correlation with the serrations which appear along the stress-strain curves, and on the aspect of the negative strain-rate sensitivity. Dynamic strain aging was recognized to be the primary cause for all these effects. However, what still remains unclear is the micromechanism leading to the formation of a deformation band, which is actually responsible for the load drop in serrated flow. An investigation of the dislocationmore »« less
