Transformation-mismatch Superplasticity in Reinforced and Unreinforced Titanium
نویسنده
چکیده
Samples of commercial-purity titanium, with and without 10 vol.% TiC particulates. were thermally cycled about the allotropic transformation temperature of titanium. Thermal ratcheting was small for both unstressed materials. Upon application of an external uniaxial tensile stress, unreinforced titanium exhibited large strain increments, resulting from the biasing by the applied stress of the volume mismatch developed between grains during the transformation. Upon repeated cycling, a strain to fracture of 200% was reached, with a strain per cycle proportional to the external stress, in agreement with existing transformation-mismatch superplasticity models. The metal matrix composite displayed transformationmismatch superplasticity as well, with a strain to fracture of 135% and a strain per cycle significantly higher than for unreinforced titanium. This novel enhancement of superplastic strain is modeled by considering the internal mismatch between the transforming matrix and the non-transforming particulates.

Zusammenfassung-Proben, die aus komerziell reinem Titan sowie Titan mit 10 vol.% TiC Teilchen bestehen, wurden urn die allotropische Umwandlungstemperatur von Titan thermischen Zyklen unterworfen. Die thermische Verschiebung im unbelasteten Zustand ergab sich als vernachllssigbar. Reines Titan zeigte unter einem einachsigem Spannungszustand eine betrtichtliche Verformung, die auf eine Ueberlagerung der iusseren Last mit der durch den Volumenunterschied der transformierenden Kiirner auftretenden inneren Spannung zuriickgefiihrt werden kann. Nach wiederholten thermischen Zyklen ergab sich eine Bruchverzerrung von 200%, wobei die Verzerrung pro Zylus proportional zur iiusseren Spannung war. dies in Uebereinstimmung mit der Fachliteratur. Der Metall-Matrix Verbundwerkstoff zeigte ebenso UmwandlungsunterschiedsuperplastizitBt mit einer Bruchverzerrung von 135% und einer im Vergleich zu Titan deutlich erhijhten Verzerrung pro Zyklus. Dieser neuartige Effekt der Erhijhung der superplastichen Verzerrung wird in einem Modell, das auf dem Volumenunterschied der transformierenden Matrix mit den nicht-transformierenden Teilchen basiert, dargestellt.

Contributions to Transformation Superplasticity of Titanium from Rigid Particles and Pressurized Pores
Polymorphic materials which are subjected to an external stress while their temperature is repeatedly cycled about their phase transformation range experience, on average, Newtonian flow, which is driven by the biasing of internal transformation mismatch stresses by the external stress (1). This phenomenon, termed transformation superplasticity, is well documented for metals (as reviewed in Ref...
متن کاملKinetics of Biaxial Dome Formation by Transformation Superplasticity of Titanium Alloys and Composites
By thermally cycling through their transformation temperature range, coarse-grained polymorphic materials can be deformed superplastically, owing to the emergence of transformation mismatch plasticity (or transformation superplasticity) as a deformation mechanism. This mechanism is presently investigated under biaxial stress conditions during thermal cycling of unalloyed titanium, Ti-6Al-4V, an...

ÐTransformation superplasticity of an intermetallic Ti3Al-based alloy (Super a2) is demonstrated by thermal cycling about the a2/b transformation temperature range under a uniaxial tensile biasing stress. Failure strains up to 610% were recorded at a stress of 3 MPa, compared with 110% for deformation by isothermal creep at the same stress. The strain increment produced during each half-cycle i...
