Nanometer TiO 2 powders were obtained from TiOSO 4 and studied by XRD, TEM and BET. The result indicated that pH and heat treatment temperature have great effects on their grain size and crystal phase structure. Annealed at 500 ℃, nanometer TiO 2 with a specific surface area of 101.39 m 2 ·g -1 and a grain size about 10 nm were obtained(pH=5); and with a specific surface area of 95.48 m 2 ·g -1 and a grain size about 30 nm were obtained(pH=10). The research indicated that crystal phase transformation of rutile at 750 ℃made great promotion in grain size growth.

Influence of strain rate on microstructure and formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets

The effects of strain rate on microstructure and formability of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets were investigated through uniaxial tensile tests and hemispherical punch tests with strain rates of 10^-4, 10^-3, 10^-2, 10^-1 s^-1 at 200℃. The results show that the volume fraction of dynamic recrystallization grains increases and the original grains are gradually replaced by recrystallization grains with the strain rate decreasing. A larger elongation and a smaller r-value are obtained at a lower strain rate, moreover the erichsen values become larger with the strain rate reducing, so the formability improves. This problem arises in part from the enhanced softening and the coordination of recrystallization grains during deformation.

Crystal anisotropy of AZ31 magnesium alloy under uniaxial tension and compression

To investigate the deformation twinning and the plastic anisotropy of the hexagonal-close-packed（HCP） single crystal, the crystal plastic constitutive model including slip and twinning deformation was established with finite element method based on crystal plasticity theory. The model was verified by test data. Newton-Raphson iteration method was developed with the stress components directly as the basic variables of iteration. The plastic deformation behavior of single crystal AZ31 alloy was analyzed numerically under monotonic tension and compression, respectively, in four different strain paths（i.e. along 〈2110〉, 〈 0110〉, 〈0001〉 and 〈0111〉） with this model. The stress-strain curves were obtained in the above paths. The numerical calculation results show that this crystal model is feasible to predict the activity of slip/twinning system and to describe the number of active twin variants, the types of dominant twin variants and twin intersection. Due to the polar nature of mechanical twinning in inelastic deformation of the material, the plastic behavior of the single crystal material is demonstrated to be notably anisotropic and high asymmetry.

Deformation mechanisms of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy by polycrystal plasticity modeling

A polycrystal plasticity model was developed to analyze the room-temperature deformation behaviors of Mg-3A1-1Zn alloy（AZ31）.The uniaxial tension and compression tests at room temperature were conducted using cast and extruded AZ31 rods with different textures and combined with the proposed model to reveal the deformation mechanisms.It is shown that,different flow curves of two specimens under tension and compression tests can be simulated by this model.The flow curves of AZ31 extrusions exhibit different shapes for tension and compression due to different activities of tensile twinning and pyramidalc＋a slip.The metallographic and TEM observations showed the equal twinning activities at the initial stage in tension and compression tests and the occurrence of pyramidalc＋a slip in compression of as-cast Mg-3A1-1Zn alloy with increasing the strain,which is consistent with the simulated results by the proposed model.

Polycrystalline model for FE-simulation of micro forming processes

A new polycrystal model was presented from the viewpoint of polycrystal structure of the billets considering free surface effects.In the model,the billet was divided into three portions,such as free surface portion,transition portion and internal portion.The grains in free surface portion were considered the single grains,and the anisotropy of the grains was taken into account by introducing grain orientation to explain the inhomogeneous deformation.In the transition portion,the effects of the neighbouring grains were adopted in the model.The grains in the internal portion were considered the polycrystalline material.With the developed model,the upsetting deformation process was simulated by the MSC Superform software.The scatter of the flow stress and inhomogeneous deformation was observed by analysis of the model.The comparisons show that the computational results are good agreed with the experimental results.This means that the presented model is effective.

Dynamic recrystallization behavior of burn resistant titanium alloy Ti-25V-15Cr-0.2Si

Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior in β phase region for the burn resistant titanium alloy Ti?25V?15Cr?0.2Si was investigated with a compression test in the temperature range of 950?1100 °C and the strain rate of 0.001?1 s?1. The results show that deformation mechanism of this alloy in hot deformation is dominated by DRX, and new grains of DRX are evolved by bulging nucleation mechanism as a predominant mechanism. DRX occurs more easily with the decrease of strain rate and the increase of deformation temperature. Grain refinement is achieved due to DRX during the hot deformation at strain rate range of 0.01?0.1 s?1 and temperature range of 950?1050 °C. DRX grain coarsening is observed for the alloy deformed at the higher temperatures of 1100 °C and the lower strain rates of 0.001 s?1. Finally, in order to determine the recrystallized fraction and DRX grain size under different deformation conditions, the prediction models of recrystallization kinetics and recrystallized grain sizes were established.

Semi-solid processing of hypereutectic A390 alloys using novel rheoforming process

The feasibility of semi solid processing of hypereutectic A390 alloys using a novel rheoforming process was investigated. A combination of the swirl enthalpy equilibration device （SEED） process, isothermal holding using insulation and addition of solid alloy during swirling was introduced as a novel method to improve the processability of semi solid slurry. The effects of isothermal holding and the addition of solid alloy on the temperature gradient between the centre and the wall and on the formation of a（Al） particles were examined. In additional tests, phosphorus and strontium were added to the molten metal to refine the primary and eutectic silicon structure to facilitate semi solid processing. The results show that the combination of the SEED process with two additional processing steps can produce semi-solid A390 alloys that can be rheoprocessed. The microstructure reveals an adequate amount of non-dendritic a（Al） globules surrounded by liquid, which greatly improves the processability of semi-solid slurry.

Dislocation density model and microstructure of 7A85 aluminum alloy during thermal deformation

The microstructure evolution of 7A85 aluminum alloy at the conditions of strain rate(0.001−1 s^(−1))and deformation temperature(250−450°C)was studied by optical microscopy(OM)and electron back scattering diffraction(EBSD).Based on the K-M dislocation density model,a two-stage K-M dislocation density model of 7A85 aluminum alloy was established.The results reveal that dynamic recovery(DRV)and dynamic recrystallization(DRX)are the main mechanisms of microstructure evolution during thermal deformation of 7A85 aluminum alloy.350−400°C is the transformation zone from dynamic recovery to dynamic recrystallization.At low temperature(≤350°C),DRV is the main mechanism,while DRX mostly occurs at high temperature(≥400°C).At this point,the sensitivity of microstructure evolution to temperature is relatively high.As the temperature increased,the average misorientation angle(θˉ_(c))increased significantly,ranging from 0.93°to 7.13°.Meanwhile,the f_(LAGBs) decreased with the highest decrease of 24%.

Deformation behavior of materials in micro-forming with consideration of intragranular heterogeneities

To describe the relationship between the whole material deformation behavior and each grain deformation behavior inmicro-forming,experimental and numerical modelling methods were employed.Tensile test results reveal that contrary to the valueof flow stress,the scatter of flow stress decreases with the increase of thickness-to-grain diameter(T/d)ratio.Microhardnessevaluation results show that each grain owns unique deformation behavior and randomly distributes in each specimen.The specimenwith less number of grains would be more likely to form an easy deformation zone and produce the concentration of plasticdeformation.Based on the experiment results,a size-dependent model considering the effects of grain size,geometry size,and thedeformation behavior of each grain was developed.And the effectiveness and practicability of the size-dependent model wereverified by experimental results.

Critical Behavior of Gaussian Model on X Fractal Lattices in External Magnetic Fields

Using the renormalization group method, the critical behavior of Gaussian model is studied in external magnetic fields on X fractal lattices embedded in two-dimensional and -dimensional Euclidean spaces, respectively. Critical points and exponents are calculated. It is found that there is long-range order at finite temperature for this model, and that the critical points do not change with the space dimensionality (or the fractal dimensionality ). It is also found that the critical exponents are very different from results of Ising model on the same lattices, and that the exponents on X lattices are different from the exact results on translationally symmetric lattices.

New constitutive equation utilizing grain size for modeling of hot deformation behavior of AA1070 aluminum

A new phenomenological and empirically-based constitutive model was proposed to modify the term in the original Johnson−Cook constitutive model.The new model can be used to describe and predict the flow stress of AA1070 aluminum with different initial grain sizes in the hot working process.This developed model considers thermal softening,strain-rate hardening,strain hardening,initial grain size,and interactions with each other and can correctly model the behavior of AA1070 at elevated temperature with different strains,strain rates,and initial grain sizes.The hot flow behavior of AA1070 was investigated through compression tests over wide ranges of temperature from 623 to 773 K,strain rate from 0.005 to 0.5 s−1 and initial grain size from 50 to 450μm.Results show that the initial grain size has a significant effect on the flow behavior of AA1070.Then,correlation coefficient(R),average absolute relative error(AARE),and relative error were examined for comparative predictability of the model.Results show that flow stresses for different initial grain sizes calculated by the new proposed model perfectly correlate with experimental ones,with a mean relative error of 1.19%,which confirms that the new modified Johnson−Cook relation can give a precise estimation of the hot flow stress of AA1070 aluminum by considering the initial grain size.

Structural transformation and energy analysis for pile-up dislocations at triple junction of grain boundary

An energy model for the structure transformation of pile-ups of grain boundary dislocations(GBD)at the triple-junction of the grain boundary of ultrafine-grain materials was proposed.The energy of the pile-up of the GBD in the system was calculated by the energy model,the critical geometric and mechanical conditions for the structure transformation of head dislocation of the pile-up were analyzed,and the influence of the number density of the dislocations and the angle between Burgers vectors of two decomposed dislocations on the transformation mode of head dislocation was discussed.The results show when the GBD is accumulated at triple junction,the head dislocation of the GBD is decomposed into two Burgers vectors of these dislocations unless the angle between the two vectors is less than 90°,and the increase of applied external stress can reduce the energy barrier of the dislocation decomposition.The mechanism that the ultrafine-grained metal material has both high strength and plasticity owing to the structure transformation of the pile-up of the GBD at the triple junction of the grain boundary is revealed.

Model of critical strain for dynamic recrystallization in 10%TiC/Cu-Al_2O_3 composite

Using the Gleeble-1500 D simulator, the hot deformation behavior and dynamic recrystallization critical conditions of the 10%Ti C/Cu-Al2O3(volume fraction) composite were investigated by compression tests at the temperatures from 450 °C to 850 °C with the strain rates from 0.001 s-1 to 1 s-1. The results show that the softening mechanism of the dynamic recrystallization is a feature of high-temperature flow true stress-strain curves of the composite, and the peak stress increases with the decreasing deformation temperature or the increasing strain rate. The thermal deformation activation energy was calculated as 170.732 k J/mol and the constitutive equation was established. The inflection point in the lnθ-ε curve appears and the minimum value of-(lnθ)/ε-ε curve is presented when the critical state is attained for this composite. The critical strain increases with the increasing strain rate or the decreasing deformation temperature. There is linear relationship between critical strain and peak strain, i.e., εc=0.572εp. The predicting model of critical strain is described by the function of εc=1.062×10-2Z0.0826.

Microstructure homogeneity regulation of 7050 aluminum forgings by surface cumulative plastic deformation

To regulate the microstructure homogeneity of large aluminum structural forgings for aircraft,the surface cumulative plastic deformation was proposed.The microstructure of 7050 aluminum forgings after the surface cumulative plastic deformation was investigated by electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results showed that the microstructure evolution of 7050 aluminum forgings was more sensitive to the deformation temperature than the strain rate.The dislocation density continued to increase with the decrease of the deformation temperature and the increase of the strain rate.Dislocation density and stored energy were accumulated by the surface cumulative plastic deformation.Besides,a static recrystallization(SRX)model of 7050 aluminum forgings was established.The SRX volume fraction calculated by this model was in good agreement with the experimental results,which indicated that the model could accurately describe the SRX behavior of 7050 aluminum forgings during the surface cumulative plastic deformation.

Deformation study of bicrystalline and nano-polycrystalline structures using phase field crystal method

Deformation behaviors of bicrystalline and nano-polycrystalline structures of various tilt angles and inclination angles in two dimensions are investigated in detail using a two-mode phase field crystal model.The interaction between grain boundary(GB)and dislocation is also examined in bicrystals and nano-polycrystals that both contain asymmetric and symmetric tilt GBs,with energy analysis being carried out to analyze these processes.During deformation simulations,we assume the volume of each simulation cell at every time step is coincident with that of the initial state just before deformation.Our simulation results show that the behaviors of symmetric and asymmetric GBs in bicrystals and nano-polycrystals differ from each other depending on tilt angle and inclination angle.A new dislocation emission mechanism of interest is observed in bicrystals which contain low angle symmetric tilt GBs.Low angle GB has a higher mobility relative to high angle GB in both bicrystalline and nano-polycrystalline structures,as does asymmetric GB to symmetric GB.The generation,motion,pileup and annihilation of dislocations,grain rotation and grain coalescence are observed,which is consistent with the simulation results obtained by molecular dynamics.These simulation results can provide strong guidelines for experimentation.

Invariant line and crystallography of HCP→BCC precipitation

The method of calculating the invariant line in HCP→BCC precipitation based on the invariant line strain model is described. The experimentally determined crystallographic features of the lath-shaped or needle-like precipitates formed in the HCP→BCC precipitations occurring in Mg?Al and Zr?Nb alloys were found to be in excellent agreement with the predictions from the model, thus suggesting that the model is valid for predicting the crystallography of diffusion-controlled phase transformations.
