AbstractHigh-temperature constant-force indentation creep tests of 200 seconds duration were performed on an annealed gold specimen at 473K to 773K, to investigate the dependence of the micro-/nano-indentation deformation kinetics upon indentation stress, temperature and time. The indent stress displayed a clear indentation size effect at 473 K. An analysis of the measured indentation creep rate, and its dependence upon temperature and stress, indicate that the strength of the deformation rate limiting obstacles increases with temperature. This is consistent with the expected temperature dependent evolution of the dislocation cell structure whose boundaries become the primary obstacles to dislocation glide.

Intragranular misorientation reflects strain generated during deformation with dislocation glide. The SEM/EBSP (scanning electron microscope/ electron back scatter diffraction pattern) technique provides is “kernel average misorientation (KAM)” as the most appropriate quantity to evaluate the strain or the stored energy for a given point. The KAM is defined for a given point as the average misorientation of that point with all of its neighbors. In the present paper two analyses of the intragranular misorientation using the SEM/EBSP technique for a cyclic deformation at room temperature and a high temperature deformation in an Al-Mg-Mn alloy are reviewed.

Textures developed during hot rolling process may affect the high temperature deformation behaviors of Ti alloys, but their relation has not been well understood or quantitatively analyzed yet. A series of load relaxation and creep tests for hot rolled Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been conducted in this work to clarify the effect of textures on the deformation behaviors of the alloy under 700 °C and the result was analyzed by using an internal variables approach. The internal strength σ* was found to vary significantly by the textures, but not by the temperature change, while the texture effect was found to decrease at higher temperatures.

Creep tests of ultra-high-purity (99.999%) Al and Al-22.2, 53.6, 101 at.ppm Fe solid solution alloys were conducted at 773 K in the stress range of 2-6 MPa in order to investigate effect of solute Fe on high temperature deformation of Al. Creep resistance was enhanced by addition of Fe in solid solution. The stress exponents of the samples exhibited values of about 5, which indicate that climb-controlled dislocation creep was dominant deformation mechanism. It could be suggested that Fe atoms segregating in dislocations due to the strong interaction between solute Fe atoms and the dislocation enhanced the creep resistance.

Lead-free solders have garnered much attention in recent years due to legislation banning the use of lead in electronics. As use of lead solders is phased out, there is a need for lead-free alternatives for niche applications such as high temperature environments where traditionally high lead solders are used. Electronics and sensors exposed to high-temperature environments such as those associated with deep well drilling require solder interconnects that can withstand high thermal-mechanical stresses. In an effort to characterize solder alloys for such applications, this study focuses on deformation behavior of the Sn95-Sb5 solder under high-temperature exposures (from 298°K to 473°K). As compared to conventional high-temperature Pb-based solder 90Pb–10Sn, Sn95–Sb5 exhibited very high tensile strength and modulus, as well as superior creep properties despite its lower melting temperature. Importantly, high-temperature deformation was shown to be influenced by the presence of the second phase (SnSb) distributed within the Sn-rich matrix. These second phase precipitates appeared to be dissolved into the Sn-rich phase above 453°K, which converted the solder into a single-phase alloy and resulted in a change in its deformation mechanism. Furthermore, as the service temperature is of such high homologous temperature (T > 0.5Tm), creep deformation will contribute significantly toward the life of the solder joint during thermal cycling. In order to characterize the creep behavior and to identify controlling mechanism(s), creep tests were carried out, from which the stress exponent and activation energy were determined. In this study, detailed microstructures under high-temperature are presented in conjunction with the corresponding mechanical behavior to further understand the controlling deformation mechanisms.

AbstractCreep tests under constant load as well as constant true strain rate were carried out at near the glass transition temperatures (Tg) to study the time dependent flow behaviour of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG). The strain rate - stress relation over a wide strain rate-range (10-7 to 10-2 s-1) was established for different temperatures. The high temperature deformation behaviour is explained on the basis of stress induced creation of free volume versus diffusion controlled annihilation processes. It was found that the creep kinetics near Tg is controlled by the mobility of atoms with an activation energy value Q =410kJ/mol.

Nucleation mechanisms occurring during dynamic recrystallization play a crucial role in the evolution of microstructures and textures during high temperature deformation. In polycrystalline ice, the strong viscoplastic anisotropy induces high strain heterogeneities between grains which control the recrystallization mechanisms. Here, we study the nucleation mechanisms occurring during creep tests performed on polycrystalline columnar ice at high temperature and stress ( T =−5°C; σ =0.5 MPa) by post-mortem analyses of deformation microstructures using cryogenic electron backscatter diffraction. The columnar geometry of the samples enables discrimination of the nuclei from the initial grains. Various nucleation mechanisms are deduced from the analysis of the nuclei relations with the dislocation sub-structures within grains and at grain boundaries. Tilt sub-grain boundaries and kink bands are the main structures responsible for development of polygonization and mosaic sub-structures. Nucleation by bulging at serrated grain boundaries is also an efficient nucleation mechanism near the grain boundaries where strain incompatibilities are high. Observation of nuclei with orientations not related to the ‘parent’ ones suggests the possibility of ‘spontaneous’ nucleation driven by the relaxation of the dislocation-related internal stress field. The complexity of the nucleation mechanisms observed here emphasizes the impact of stress and strain heterogeneities on dynamic recrystallization mechanisms. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Microdynamics of ice’.
