Modeling of resistance curve of high-angle grain boundary in Fe–3 wt.% Si alloy
نویسنده
چکیده
When a propagating cleavage front encounters a high-angle grain boundary it first penetrates through the grain boundary stably. With increasing penetration depth the resistance of the grain boundary rises, resulting in the well-known R-curve. When the balance between the rates of the energy release rate and the grain boundary resistance is reached, the crack advance becomes unstable and the grain boundary is broken through. In this paper, this process is analyzed quantitatively based on the experimental observations of the cleavage cracking in Fe–3 wt.% Si bicrystals. The effects of the crystal misorientation, the crack length, and the crack front profile are discussed. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An energy analysis of the grain boundary behavior in cleavage cracking in Fe–3wt.%Si alloy
The resistance of high-angle grain boundaries to cleavage cracking in Fe–3wt.%Si bicrystals is discussed in context of linear elastic fracture mechanics based on an energy method. The grain boundary toughness is determined by the fracture work associated with the plastic shear along the grain boundary and the crack-trapping effect. The influence of the crystallographic misorientation and the si...

The sensitization and subsequent intergranular corrosion of Al-5.3 wt.% Mg alloy has been shown to be an important factor in stress corrosion cracking of Al-Mg alloys. Understanding sensitization requires the review of grain boundary character on the precipitation process which can assist in developing and designing alloys with improved corrosion resistance. This study shows that the degree of ...
متن کاملFatigue crack growth in a coarse-grained iron–silicon alloy
The fatigue crack growth in a coarse-grained Fe-2 wt% Si alloy is investigated in considerable detail. At room temperature, the material is quasi-brittle and the failure mode is mixed cleavage. Under a mode-I cyclic loading, the crack can overcome the barrier effect of grain boundaries, which dominates the overall damage evolution. Associated with the geometrically necessary crack front branchi...

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...
