Phase transitions in high-purity zirconium under dynamic compression
Abstract
In this work, we present results from ramp compression experiments on high-purity Zr that show the α → ω, ω → β, as well as reverse β → ω phase transitions. Simulations with a multi-phase equation of state and phenomenological kinetic model match the experimental wave profiles well. While the dynamic α ! ! transition occurs ~ 9 GPa above the equilibrium phase boundary, the ω → β transition occurs within 0.9 GPa of equilibrium. We estimate that the dynamic compression path intersects the equilibrium ω – β line at P = 29:2 GPa, and T = 490 K. The thermodynamic path in the interior of the sample lies ~ 100 K above the isentrope at the point of the ω → β transition. Approximately half of this dissipative temperature rise is due to plastic work, and half is due to the non-equilibrium α → ω transition. The inferred rate of the α → ω transition is several orders of magnitude higher than that measured in dynamic diamond anvil cell (DDAC) experiments in an overlapping pressure range. We discuss a model for the influence of shear stress on the nucleation rate. We find that the shear stress sji has themore »

Simulations with a multi-phase equation of state and phenomenological kinetic model match the experimental wave profiles well. While the dynamic α ! ! transition occurs ~ 9 GPa above the equilibrium phase boundary, the ω → β transition occurs within 0.9 GPa of equilibrium. We estimate that the dynamic compression path intersects the equilibrium ω – β line at P = 29:2 GPa, and T = 490 K. The thermodynamic path in the interior of the sample lies ~ 100 K above the isentrope at the point of the ω → β transition. Approximately half of this dissipative temperature rise is due to plastic work, and half is due to the non-equilibrium α → ω transition. The inferred rate of the α → ω transition is several orders of magnitude higher than that measured in dynamic diamond anvil cell (DDAC) experiments in an overlapping pressure range. We discuss a model for the influence of shear stress on the nucleation rate. We find that the shear stress sji has the same effect on the nucleation rate as a pressure increase δP = cϵijsji/(ΔV/V); where c is a geometric constant ~ 1 and, ϵij are the transformation shear strains. The small fractional volume change ΔV/V ≈ 0:1 at the α → ω transition amplifies the effect of shear stress, and we estimate that for this case δP is in the range of several GPa. Correcting our transition rate to a hydrostatic rate brings it approximately into line with the DDAC results, suggesting that shear stress plays a significant role in the transformation rate.},
