The creep deformation behaviour of coarse grained AZ31 magnesium alloy was examined in the temperature range from 423 to 673 K (0?46-0?73T m ) under various constant stresses covering low strain rate range from 4610 29 to 2610 22 s 21 . Most shape of the creep curve was typical of class II behaviour. However, only at low stress and low temperature, the shape of the creep curve was typical of class I behaviour. At very low stress at 673 K, the stress exponent for the secondary creep rate was~2. At low stress level, the stress exponent was~3 and the present results were in good agreement with the prediction of Takeuchi and Argon model. At high stress level, the stress exponent was~5 and the present results were in good agreement with the prediction of Weertman model. The transition of deformation mechanism from solute drag creep to dislocation climb creep could be explained in terms of solute atmosphere breakaway concept.
In this study, hot isostatic pressed Ni-base superalloy was subjected by high-pressure torsion process to improve the dispersion of gamma prime phase, mechanical properties and remove prior particle boundaries. The resulting microstructural size decreases and prior particle boundaries removed with increasing strain by high-pressure torsion process. Moreover, the microhardness values and room temperature tensile strength were enhanced. However, the tensile elongation was decreased as increasing strain due to fast crack propagation along the refined and well dispersed gamma prime particles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
