Plasticity and Deformation Mechanisms of Ultrafine-Grained Ti in Necking Region Revealed by Digital Image Correlation Technique.

ABSTRACT: The conventional engineering stress-strain curve could not accurately describe the true stress-strain and local deformability of the necking part of tensile specimens, as it calculates the strain by using the whole gauge length, assuming the tensile specimen was deformed uniformly. In this study, we employed 3D optical measuring digital image correlation (DIC) to systematically measure the full strain field and local strain during the whole tensile process, and calculate the real-time strain and actual flow stress in the necking region of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti. The post-necking elongation and strain hardening exponent of the UFG Ti necking part were then measured as 36% and 0.101, slightly smaller than those of the coarse grained Ti (52% and 0.167), suggesting the high plastic deformability in the necking part of the UFG Ti. Finite elemental modeling (FEM) indicates that when necking occurs, strain is concentrated in the necking region. The stress state of the necking part was transformed from uniaxial in the uniform elongation stage to a triaxial stress state. A scanning electron microscopic (SEM) study revealed the shear and ductile fracture, as well as numerous micro shear bands in the UFG Ti, which are controlled by cooperative grain boundary sliding. Our work revealed the large plastic deformability of UFG metals in the necking region under a complex stress state.

Dynamic Deformation Measurement of Specular Surface with Deflectometry and Speckle Digital Image Correlation.

Project description:The deformation measurement of a specular surface is of great importance during the quality inspection and installation of optical elements or wafers, especially those with large apertures. We propose a deflectometry method with speckle digital image correlation (DeSDIC) to realize the dynamic and high-accuracy measurement of the deformation on specular surfaces, with a simple system structure and robustness to noises and environmental vibrations. Random speckle pattern displayed on liquid crystal display is reflected by the original surface under test (SUT), and the distorted pattern is recorded by a camera. This originally distorted pattern is taken as the reference image, and the patterns captured afterwards are digitally correlated with the reference image to calculate the gradient change and deformation of the SUT. The theoretical relationships and an experimental one-step calibration scheme are proposed. Both static and dynamic deformations of a deformable mirror were experimentally measured to demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of DeSDIC, which is comparable to phase-measuring deflectometry and interferometry.

Experimentally Achievable Accuracy Using a Digital Image Correlation Technique in measuring Small-Magnitude (<0.1%) Homogeneous Strain Fields.

Project description:Measuring small-magnitude strain fields using a digital image correlation (DIC) technique is challenging, due to the noise-signal ratio in strain maps. Here, we determined the level of accuracy achievable in measuring small-magnitude (<0.1%) homogeneous strain fields. We investigated different sets of parameters for image processing and imaging pre-selection, based on single-image noise level. The trueness of DIC was assessed by comparison of Young’s modulus (E) and Poisson’s ratio (ν) with values obtained from strain gauge measurements. Repeatability was improved, on average, by 20⁻25% with experimentally-determined optimal parameters and image pre-selection. Despite this, the intra- and inter-specimen repeatability of strain gauge measurements was 5 and 2.5 times better than DIC, respectively. Moreover, although trueness was also improved, on average, by 30⁻45%, DIC consistently overestimated the two material parameters by 1.8% and 3.2% for E and ν, respectively. DIC is a suitable option to measure small-magnitude homogeneous strain fields, bearing in mind the limitations in achievable accuracy.

Unique transition of yielding mechanism and unexpected activation of deformation twinning in ultrafine grained Fe-31Mn-3Al-3Si alloy.

Project description:Tensile mechanical properties of fully recrystallized TWIP steel specimens having various grain sizes (d) ranging from 0.79 μm to 85.6 μm were investigated. It was confirmed that the UFG specimens having the mean grain sizes of 1.5 μm or smaller abnormally showed discontinuous yielding characterized by a clear yield-drop while the specimens having grain sizes larger than 2.4 μm showed normal continuous yielding. In-situ synchrotron radiation XRD showed dislocation density around yield-drop in the UFG specimen quickly increased. ECCI observations revealed the nucleation of deformation twins and stacking faults from grain boundaries in the UFG specimen around yielding. Although it had been conventionally reported that the grain refinement suppresses deformation twinning in FCC metals and alloys, the number density of deformation twins in the 0.79 μm grain-sized specimen was much higher than that in the specimens with grain sizes of 4.5 μm and 15.4 μm. The unusual change of yielding behavior from continuous to discontinuous manner by grain refinement could be understood on the basis of limited number of free dislocations in each ultrafine grain. The results indicated that the scarcity of free dislocations in the recrystallized UFG specimens changed the deformation and twinning mechanisms in the TWIP steel.

Investigating the dislocation reactions on Σ3{111} twin boundary during deformation twin nucleation process in an ultrafine-grained high-manganese steel.

Project description:Some of ultrafine-grained (UFG) metals including UFG twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steels have been found to overcome the paradox of strength and ductility in metals benefiting from their unique deformation modes. Here, this study provides insights into the atomistic process of deformation twin nucleation at Σ3{111} twin boundaries, the dominant type of grain boundary in this UFG high manganese TWIP steel. In response to the applied tensile stresses, grain boundary sliding takes place which changes the structure of coherent Σ3{111} twin boundary from atomistically smooth to partly defective. High resolution transmission electron microscopy demonstrates that the formation of disconnection on Σ3{111} twin boundaries is associated with the motion of Shockley partial dislocations on the boundaries. The twin boundary disconnections act as preferential nucleation sites for deformation twin that is a characteristic difference from the coarse-grained counterpart, and is likely correlated with the lethargy of grain interior dislocation activities, frequently seen in UFG metals. The deformation twin nucleation behavior will be discussed based on in-situ TEM deformation experiments and nanoscale strain distribution analyses results.

Microalloying ultrafine grained Al alloys with enhanced ductility.

Project description:Bulk ultrafine grained (UFG)/nanocrystal metals possess exceptional strength but normally poor ductility and thermal stability, which hinder their practical applications especially in high-temperature environments. Through microalloying strategy that enables the control of grains and precipitations in nanostructured regime, here we design and successfully produce a highly microstructure-stable UFG Al-Cu-Sc alloy with ~275% increment in ductility and simultaneously ~50% enhancement in yield strength compared with its Sc-free counterpart. Although the precipitations in UFG alloys are usually preferentially occurred at grain boundaries even at room temperature, minor Sc addition into the UFG Al-Cu alloys is found to effectively stabilize the as-processed microstructure, strongly suppress the ?-Al2Cu phase precipitation at grain boundary, and remarkably promote the ?'-Al2Cu nanoparticles dispersed in the grain interior in artificial aging. A similar microalloying strategy is expected to be equally effective for other UFG heat-treatable alloys.

Bulk ultrafine grained/nanocrystalline metals via slow cooling.

Project description:Cooling, nucleation, and phase growth are ubiquitous processes in nature. Effective control of nucleation and phase growth is of significance to yield refined microstructures with enhanced performance for materials. Recent studies reveal that ultrafine grained (UFG)/nanocrystalline metals exhibit extraordinary properties. However, conventional microstructure refinement methods, such as fast cooling and inoculation, have reached certain fundamental limits. It has been considered impossible to fabricate bulk UFG/nanocrystalline metals via slow cooling. Here, we report a new discovery that nanoparticles can refine metal grains to ultrafine/nanoscale by instilling a continuous nucleation and growth control mechanism during slow cooling. The bulk UFG/nanocrystalline metal with nanoparticles also reveals an unprecedented thermal stability. This method overcomes the grain refinement limits and may be extended to any other processes that involve cooling, nucleation, and phase growth for widespread applications.

Full-Field Indentation Damage Measurement Using Digital Image Correlation.

Project description:A novel approach based on full-field indentation measurements to characterize and quantify the effect of contact in thin plates is presented. The proposed method has been employed to evaluate the indentation damage generated in the presence of bending deformation, resulting from the contact between a thin plate and a rigid sphere. For this purpose, the 3D Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) technique has been adopted to quantify the out of plane displacements at the back face of the plate. Tests were conducted using aluminum thin plates and a rigid bearing sphere to evaluate the influence of the thickness and the material behavior during contact. Information provided by the 3D-DIC technique has been employed to perform an indirect measurement of the contact area during the loading and unloading path of the test. A symmetrical distribution in the contact damage region due to the symmetry of the indenter was always observed. In the case of aluminum plates, the presence of a high level of plasticity caused shearing deformation as the load increased. Results show the full-field contact damage area for different plates' thicknesses at different loads. The contact damage region was bigger when the thickness of the specimen increased, and therefore, bending deformation was reduced. With the proposed approach, the elastic recovery at the contact location was quantified during the unloading, as well as the remaining permanent indentation damage after releasing the load. Results show the information obtained by full-field measurements at the contact location during the test, which implies a substantial improvement compared with pointwise techniques.

Change of Deformation Mechanisms Leading to High Strength and Large Ductility in Mg-Zn-Zr-Ca Alloy with Fully Recrystallized Ultrafine Grained Microstructures.

Project description:Recently, we have found that fully recrystallized ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructures could be realized in a commercial precipitation-hardened Magnesium (Mg) alloy. The UFG specimens exhibited high strength and large ductility under tensile test, but underlying mechanisms for good mechanical properties remained unclear. In this study, we have carried out systematic observations of deformation microstructures for revealing the influence of grain size on the change of dominant deformation modes. We found that plastic deformation of conventionally coarse-grained specimen was predominated by {0001} <11-20> slip and {10-12} <10-11> twinning, and the quick decrease of work-hardening rate was mainly due to the early saturation of deformation twins. For the UFG specimens, {10-12} <10-11> twinning was dramatically suppressed, while non-basal slip systems containing <c> component of Burgers vector were activated, which contributed significantly to the enhanced work-hardening rate leading to high strength and large ductility. It was clarified by this study that limited ductility of hexagonal Mg alloys could be overcome by activating unusual slip systems (<c + a> dislocations) in fully recrystallized UFG microstructures.

Room-Temperature Superplasticity in an Ultrafine-Grained Magnesium Alloy.

Project description:Superplasticity, a phenomenon of high tensile elongation in polycrystalline materials, is highly effective in fabrication of complex parts by metal forming without any machining. Superplasticity typically occurs only at elevated homologous temperatures, where thermally-activated deformation mechanisms dominate. Here, we report the first observation of room-temperature superplasticity in a magnesium alloy, which challenges the commonly-held view of the poor room-temperature plasticity of magnesium alloys. An ultrafine-grained magnesium-lithium (Mg-8 wt.%Li) alloy produced by severe plastic deformation demonstrated 440% elongation at room temperature (0.35 T m) with a strain-rate sensitivity of 0.37. These unique properties were associated with enhanced grain-boundary sliding, which was approximately 60% of the total elongation. This enhancement originates from fast grain-boundary diffusion caused by the Li segregation along the grain boundaries and the formation of Li-rich interphases. This discovery introduces a new approach for controlling the room-temperature superplasticity by engineering grain-boundary composition and diffusion, which is of importance in metal forming technology without heating.

Experimental image dataset for validation of the noise-induced bias that affects Digital Image Correlation.

Project description:The present article shares with the scientific community several image sets used for experimentally validating the noise-induced bias on different Digital Image Correlation (DIC) formulations, as reported in Baldi et al. [1]. These sets are provided with a description of the experimental setup used for image acquisition. The basic idea is to acquire a series of images obtained by rigidly translating the target, where incremental displacement is of the order of a small fraction of a pixel. This condition requires a high-precision control of the target position through the tests. Moreover, the noise content of each image set is modulated using a statistical approach that uncouples the intensity field from the standard deviation. Lastly, the images are acquired with different exposure conditions to analyze the gray tone gradient effect on noise-induced bias.
