Ultra-Fine Grained Dual-Phase Steels

This paper provides an overview on obtaining low-carbon ultra-fine grained dual-phase steels through rapid intercritical annealing of cold-rolled sheet as improved materials for automotive applications. A laboratory processing route was designed that involves cold-rolling of a tempered martensite structure followed by a second tempering step to produce a fine grained aggregate of ferrite and ca...

Superplasticity of a fine-grained Mg–1.5 wt% Gd alloy after severe plastic deformation

The strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of Mg–1.5 wt% Gd processed by conventional extrusion and 2 passes of simple shear extrusion (SSE) was investigated by shear punch testing. Shear punch tests were conducted at initial shear strain rates in the range of 0.003–0.3 s-1 and at temperatures in the range of 573–773 K. A fine-grained microstructure with an average grain size of about 2.5 µm, obtained a...

Creep Mechanisms and Interface-Enhanced Deformation Twinning in a Two-Phase _ Lamellar TiAl Alloy

Deformation mechanisms and the role of interfaces in deformation twinning of a two-phase [TiAI (y)GAl (ad] 1 amellar allo\t creep deformed at elevated temperatures have been investigated. Since the multiplication of lattice dislocations \vithin both y and a2 lamellae is verl\’ limited at a lo\v stress level due to a refined lamellar microstructure, the glide of interfacial dislocations on both ...
