Nanostructural states in Nb-Al mechanocomposite after conbined deformation treatment

Nanostructural states were investigated, that were formed in Nb-Al system-based mechanocomposite after combined deformation treatment that includes mechanical activation in a planetary ball mill and subsequent consolidation by torsion under pressure on Bridgman anvils. The formation of the layered structure, consisting of Nb and Al nanobands with width from several to several tens of nanometers was revealed. The structural states with high elastic curvature of crystal lattice and high level of local internal stresses found in Nb and Al subgrains were investigated by transmission electron microscopy

Evolution of microstructure and microhardness of dispersion-hardened V-Cr-Zr-W alloy during deformation by torsion under pressure

Results of the study of the microstructural evolution and microhardness changes of dispersion-hardened V–Cr–Zr–W alloy under severe deformation during torsion on Bridgman anvils are presented. Typical structural states and mechanisms of their formation are revealed for basic evolution stages as well as appropriate microhardness values are determined. It was shown that at true logarithmic strain values (e) in the range 0.7 ≤ e 2, the anisotropic submicrocrystalline structure is observed and the formation of two-level nanostructural states was found within grains. In the strain range (e) from 3 to 6.6, submicrocrystal sizes hardly change, but changes of two-level nanostructural state parameters are observed: the nanofragment size decreases and values of elastic curvature of the crystal lattice increases

Influence of temperature on microstructure parameters and microhardness of dispersion-hardened V–Cr–Zr–W alloy after deformation by torsion under pressure

Study of microstructure transformation and microhardness changes of dispersion-hardened V–Cr–Zr–W alloy after severe plastic deformation by torsion on Bridgman anvils and subsequent heat treatments was conducted. Basic stages of relaxation processes were revealed: at 800°C recovery processes take place and primary recrystallization begins; at 900°C primary recrystallization intensifies; in range of 950–1050°C collective recrystallization processes activate; at 1200°C secondary recrystallization starts. Microhardness measurement and comparison of its values with structural states features were conducted. Strengthening mechanisms and their contribution at various stages of defect substructure relaxation are discussed. It is shown that increase of thermal stability of V–Cr–Zr–W alloy microstructure is a consequence of the formation of high density of thermally stable Zr (O–N–C)-based nanoparticles

Peculiar features of microstructure formation and microhardness variations during torsional straining of tantalum specimens in Bridgman anvils

Using the method of transmission electron microscopy, peculiar features of evolution of microstructure and variations in microhardness of Та are investigated under torsional loading in the Bridgman anvil as a function of plastic deformation at room temperature. A quantitative examination of grain and defect’s structure of the material under study and the values of local internal stresses is performed in different loading stages. The mechanisms of formation of submicrocrystalline and nanostructured states are analyzed and so is the microstructure variation as a function of the defect-structure characteristics, strain level, and spacing from the axis of torsion
