It is found that Vickers hardness of the aged alloy decreases gradually with decreasing the HTPP temperature, and almost a reverse trend of electrical conductivity is found compared to the hardness changes. Depending on the changes, two HTPP temperaturesof 440 and 420℃ were chosen for comparative study. Results reveal that HTPP alloy tempers exhibit higher resistance to stress corrosion cracking （SCC） and IGC than none pre-precipitate one with an acceptable strength loss due to the substantial enhancement of distribution discontinuity of the coarse grain boundary precipitates （GBPs）, and the coarsening and interspacing effect on GBPs becomes more obvious with decreasing the pre-precipitation temperature.展开更多

Thin-plate specimens subjected to uniaxial tension strain with one-void and two-void at the centered grain boundary were employed to analyze the effect of specimen size, temperature and applied strain rate on the stress-strain response, incipient yield strength and macroscopic effective Young's modulus. The evolutions of dislocations, twin bands and void shapes under different specimen sizes were also presented. The obtained results show that, regardless of the void numbers, the specimen sizes, temperature, the applied strain rate had significant influence on the void shape evolution, stress-strain curve and incipient yield strength, while negligible effects on the macroscopic effective Young's modulus except for the temperature. Moreover, the voids growth rate along the grain boundary was also found to be associated with the specimen sizes.展开更多
