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.展开更多

It was found that the as-cast BMG specimens exhibited a brittle-ductile transition when the larger specimens were machined into smaller specimens through removing the cast-softening surface layer by layer. After compression tests, the as-machined small specimens, owing to the absence of the cast-softening surface, displayed highly dense and intersecting shear bands, and extensive plastic deformation. This is in contrast to the catastrophic failure and low deformability in the as-cast large specimens. More free volume was detected in the smaller as-fractured specimens, by differential scanning calorimetry, which may be attributed to the occurrence of strain softening and increased plasticity. Compared with the relatively smooth fracture surface in the smaller specimens, the larger specimens showed more diverse features on the fracture surface due to their graded structures.展开更多

Two different compression directions were utilized to favor{1012} extension or{1011} compression twinning.{1012} twins nucleate at the beginning of plastic deformation and grow to consume the parent grains completely. During compression along the normal direction,{1011} twinning and{1011}?{1012} double twinning start at strain of 0.05, and the number of twins increases until rupture, above strain of 0.15.{1011} and{1011}?{1012} twinning also occur during compression along the transverse direction, start at strain of 0.06 and then multiply in grains totally reoriented by{1012} twins. Using suitable parameters, the VPSC model can accurately predict the occurrence of extension, compression and double-twinning as well as the flow stresses and deformed textures. According to VPSC simulations, twinning and slip have the same latent hardening parameters.展开更多

In order to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior of α-Zr, compression tests at 700 ℃, microstructure measurements via EBSD, and visco-plastic self-consistent modeling were performed. Twinning activity was negligible at strain rates ε≤1s^-1. The strain rate sensitivity m=0.17 seemed to be the same for all slip modes. Material parameters were fitted to reproduce the mechanical anisotropy and deformed texture, and were validated by comparing the simulated and measured strain anisotropy. The best-fit simulation showed that at high temperatures prismatic slip was the easiest deformation mode and pyramidal <c+a> was the hardest, but basal slip and pyramidal slip operated easily and in large amount.展开更多
