非晶合金剪切带失稳临界条件及方向

室温下的变形局部化及其诱致的脆性断裂是抑制非晶合金作为结构材料应用的重要原因。在低于玻璃态转变温度及高应力作用下,非晶合金将经历初始均匀变形到剪切局部化的过程。这种转变通常发生在某个临界点。在该点,材料内部的变形发生分叉,某个局域的变形率与周围区域出现不连续的现象。实际上,剪切带的形成可以认为是材料本构失稳或变形分叉的结果。这种失稳发生的临界条件与材料密切相关。然而,非晶合金不同应力条件下的剪切带失稳条件及方向仍有待进一步研究。基此,本文考虑了非晶合金压力敏感、剪胀及内部微结构演化等一系列特性,建立了非晶合金新的本构方程;将材料变形分叉理论与新的非晶合金本构相结合,得到了不同应力条件下变形局部..

Formation Mechanism Of Lamellar Chips During Machining Of Bulk Metallic Glass

The uniqThe unique lamellar chips formed in turning–machining of a Vit 1 bulk metallic glass (BMG) are found to be due to repeated shearband formation in the primary shear zone (PSZ). A coupled thermomechanical orthogonal cutting model, taking into account force, free volume and energy balance in the PSZ, is developed to quantitatively characterize lamellar chip formation. Its onset criterion is revealed through a linear perturbation analysis. Lamellar chip formation is understood as a self-sustained limit-cycle phenomenon: there is autonomous feedback in stress, free volume and temperature in the PSZ. The underlying mechanism is the symmetry breaking of free volume flow and source, rather than thermal instability. These results are fundamentally useful for machining BMGs and even for understanding the physical nature of inhomogeneous flow in BMGs.ue lamellar chips formed in turning–machining of a Vit 1 bulk metallic glass (BMG) are found to be due to repeated shearband

On mechanical properties of metallic glass and its liquid vitrification characteristics

A systematic survey of the available data such as elastic constants, density, molar mass, and glass transition temperature of 45 metallic glasses is conducted. It is found that a critical strain controlling the onset of plastic deformation is material-independent. However, the correlation between elastic constants of solid glass and vitrification characteristics of its liquid does not follow a simple linear relation, and a characteristic volume, viz. molar volume, maybe relating to the characteristic size of a shear transformation zone (STZ), should be involved

A new method for grain refinement in magnesium alloy: High speed extrusion machining

Magnesium alloys have received broad attentions in industry due to their competitive strength to density ratio, but the poor ductility and strength limit their wide range of applications as engineering materials. A novel severe plastic deformation (SPD) technique of high speed extrusion machining (HSEM) was used here. This method could improve the aforementioned disadvantages of magnesium alloys by one single processing step. In this work, systematic HSEM experiments with different chip thickness ratios were conducted for magnesium alloy AZ31B. The microstructure of the chips reveals that HSEM is an effective SPD method for attaining magnesium alloys with different grain sizes and textures. The magnesium alloy with bimodal grain size distribution has increased mechanical properties than initial sample. The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis shows that the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) affects the grain refinement and resulting hardness in AZ31B. Based on the experimental observations, a new theoretical model is put forward to describe the effect of DRX on materials during HSEM. Compared with the experimental measurements, the theoretical model is effective to predict the mechanical property of materials after HSEM. (c) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Formation of adiabatic shear band in metal matrix composites

A modified single-pulse loading split Hopkinson torsion bar (SSHTB) is introduced to investigate adiabatic shear banding behavior in SiCp particle reinforced 2024 Al composites in this work. The experimental results showed that formation of adiabatic shear band in the composite with smaller particles is more readily observed than that in the composite with larger particles. To characterize this size-dependent deformation localization behavior of particle reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCp), a strain gradient dependent shear instability analysis was performed. The result demonstrated that high strain gradient provides a deriving force for the formation of adiabatic shear banding in MMCp. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

Dynamic deformation behavior of a face-centered cubic FeCoNiCrMn high-entropy alloy

In this study, mechanical tests were conducted on a face-centered cubic FeCoNiCrMn high-entropy alloy, both in tension and compression, in a wide range of strain rates (10~(-4)&ndash;10~4 s~(-1)) to systematically investigate its dynamic response and underlying deformation mechanism. Materials with different grain sizes were tested to understand the effect of grain size, thus grain boundary volume, on the mechanical properties. Microstructures of various samples both before and after deformation were examined using electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The dislocation structure as well as deformation-induced twins were analyzed and correlated with the measured mechanical properties. Plastic stability during tension of the current high-entropy alloy (HEA), in particular, at dynamic strain rates, was discussed in lights of strain-rate sensitivity and work hardening rate. It was found that, under dynamic conditions, the strength and uniform ductility increased simultaneously as a result of the massive formation of deformation twins. Specifically, an ultimate tensile strength of 734 MPa and uniform elongation of ~63% are obtained at 2.3 &times;10~3 s~(-1), indicating that the alloy has great potential for energy absorption upon impact loading.</p

Nature of crack-tip plastic zone in metallic glasses

The fracture of metallic glasses(MGs) can be induced by shear banding in a ductile mode or by cavitation in a brittle way. Plastic zone in front of a crack tip, which is greatly involved with localized shear band, cavitation and the resultant fracture morphology, is a key clue to unveil the secrets of the intrinsic ductility and fracture. However, the characteristics of plastic zone, i.e., stress and strain distributions, size and shape, have not been clearly unraveled for MGs so far. In this paper, an analytical solution of the plastic zone for mode I crack under plane strain condition is derived through J-integral based on a slip line field analysis and shape approximation, by taking pressure-sensitivity, dilatancy, and structural evolution into account. Two length scales of the plastic zone, i.e. the maximum radius R-max and the radius along the crack line direction R-x, are revealed to control shear flow instability and cavitation, and therefore failure modes. According to shear transformation zone (STZ) based free volume evolution dynamics, the critical values of the mode I stress intensity factor and the plastic zone size at crack initiation are obtained. The effects of Poisson&#39;s ratio, pressure sensitivity, and dilatancy on the stress/strain distributions, and the size of plastic zone are elucidated. It is found that larger Poisson&#39;s ratio and smaller dilatancy lead to higher fracture toughness and &#39;slender&#39; critical plastic zone, facilitating a good ductility. The internal correlations of the fracture pattern (i.e. dimple structure) with the plastic zone are established, where the size of the fracture pattern is quantitatively characterized by the critical length of plastic zone. To be further, a shape change of the critical plastic zone from &#39;slender&#39; (apt to shear plastic flow) to &#39;chubby&#39; (inclined to cavitation) is revealed with increasing dilatancy or decreasing Poisson&#39;s ratio, which might shed light on the underlying mechanism of ductile-to-brittle transition in MGs.

Effect of Particle Size on the Formation of Adiabatic Shear Band In Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites

In this paper, the effect of particle size on the formation of adiabatic shear band in 2024 All matrix composites reinforced with 15% volume fraction of 3.5, 10 and 20 mum SiC particles was investigated by making use of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The results have demonstrated that the onset of adiabatic shear banding in the composites strongly depends on the particle size and adiabatic shear banding is more readily observed in the composite reinforced with small particles than that in the composite with large particles. This size dependency phenomenon can be characterized by the strain gradient effect. Instability analysis reveals that high strain gradient is a strong driving force for the formation of adiabatic shear banding in particle reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCp)

Onset and evolution of discontinuously segmented chip flow in ultra-high-speed cutting Ti-6Al-4V

Increasing the cutting speed to an ultra-high level usually gives rise to a chip flow transition from continuously serrated to discontinuously segmented, which is one of the most fundamental and challenging problems in metal cutting. In this work, we experimentally performed the ultra-high-speed cutting on Ti-6Al-4V with a maximum cutting speed of 210 m/s, focusing on the physical phenomena accompanying the discontinuously segmented chip flow. It reveals that the discontinuously segmented chip flow can be attributed to the shear fracture induced by the fully matured shear banding, and there exists a ductile-brittle transition of the shear fracture as the cutting speed increases to an ultra-high level. In addition, the critical condition for the onset of segmented chip flow is presented using the momentum diffusion-based shear band evolution model, which gives good prediction for the chip segmentation
