Cu-Al-Ni single crystals with composition 82.6Cu-13.4A1-4Ni (wt%) were heat treated at 800°C for 30 rnin and subsequently water quenched to room temperature. The samples with 3 mm diameter and length between 100 and 200 mm had a longitudinal orientation close to the [001] direction of the P-phase at high temperature. The martensite start temperature after the initial heat treatment was MS=93"C....

Prediction of the deformation characteristics is an important step to understand the workability of alloys during imposing large strains. In this research, severe plastic deformation of Sn-5Sb solder alloy was carried out under different t deformation conditions, including the temperature range of 298, 330, 36, 400 K and die designs. The current study applies an experimentally validated finite ...

Highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels are promising candidates to replace more expensive nickel-based alloys within the energy-producing industry. The present study investigates the deformation mechanisms by microstructural characterization, mechanical properties and stress–strain response of three commercial austenitic stainless steels and two commercial nickel-based alloys using uniaxial...

The deformation behavior of homogenized Al-7.5Zn-1.5Mg-0.2Cu-0.2Zr alloy has been studied by a set of isothermal hot compression tests, which were carried out over the temperature ranging from 350 °C to 450 °C and the strain rate ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 10 s-1 on Gleeble-3500 thermal simulation machine. The associated microstructure was studied using electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD)...

Obtaining temperature distribution data of slabs under rolling is essential as the mechanical and metallurgical properties of the metal under this process vary with temperature. Using the control volume method, a mathematical model is employed in this study to predict slab temperature in the hot roll process at Mobarakeh Steel Company. The effects of different parameters including the heat resu...

Given the set of square matrices M ⊂ Mn+m(C) that keep the subspace W = Cnx{0} ⊂ C invariant, we obtain the implicit form of a miniversal deformation of a matrix a ∈ M, and we compute it explicitely when this matrix is marked (this is, if there is a permutation matrix p ∈ Mn+m(C) such that p−1ap is a Jordan matrix). We derive some applications to tackle the classical Carlson problem.

recently, bulk nano-structured materials produced by severe plastic deformation (spd) have attracted scientists attention.  materials produced by spd are of great importance because of (1) non-porous structure, (2) great mechanical properties such as high strength and toughness and (3) proper dimension for mechanical and physical testing.  several methods have been introduced for imposing the s...
