The work hardening of Al alloys is very important in regards to their formability and their deformation behavior in service. The majority of the work in the literature has considered relatively pure materials, and has tended to concentrate on room temperature and elevated temperature behavior. In Al alloys there is interest in work hardening at lower temperatures since they are quite restricted in terms of the elevated temperatures at which they can be used. In this paper the work hardening of commercial 1000, 3000 and 5000 alloys have been investigated from room temperature down to 85°K. The work hardening has been analyzed using the Voce approach, and it is shown that this enables the work hardening of the different alloys to be related to their basic physical metallurgy.

Stress Strain Relation

Metal forming of magnesium alloys often performed at elevated temperature, because magnesium alloys exhibit peculiar stress-strain relation and inferior ductility compared to conventional metals at room temperature. In the present study, deformation behavior and formability of cast and extruded AZ31 magnesium alloys under uniaxial and biaxial compressions at room temperature and at elevated temperatures were investigated. The results revealed that the compressive stress-strain relation of AZ31 magnesium alloy changed not only with the initial texture but also with the deformation temperature. The temperature dependency of flow stress of the cast alloy was smaller than that of the extruded alloy probably because of less influence of pre-deformation. In addition, the influence of compressive deformation pattern upon flow stress of the extruded alloy remained even at elevated temperature to 523 K. The temperature dependency of compressive fracture was also discussed and it was found that the equi-biaxial condition improved the compressive formability at elevated temperatures.

The Relationship

This paper presents the results of elevated temperatures on the compressive of high fly ash content concrete (HFCC). The specimens were prepared with three different replacements of cement by fly ash 30%, 40% and 50% by mass and the residual compressive strength was tested after exposure to elevated temperature 250, 450, 550 and 650°C and room temperature respectively. The results showed that the compressive strength apparently decreased with the elevated temperature increased. The presence of fly ash was effective for improvement of the relative strength, which was the ratio of residual compressive strength after exposure to elevated temperature and ordinary concrete. The relative compressive strength of fly ash concrete was higher than those of ordinary concrete. Based on the experiments results, the alternating simulation formula to determine the relationship among relative strength, elevated temperature and fly ash replacement is developed by using regression of results, which provides the theoretical basis for the evaluation and repair of HFCC after elevated temperature.

AbstractThis paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent work on tensile ductility and fracture behavior of Ni3AI alloys tested at ambient and elevated temperatures. Polycrystalline Ni3Al is intrinsically brittle along grain boundaries, and the brittleness has been attributed to the large difference in valency, electronegativity, and atom size between nickel and aluminum atoms. Alloying with B, Mn, Fe, and Be significantly increases the ductility and reduces the propensity for intergranular fracture in Ni3 Al alloys. Boron is found to be most effective in improving room-temperature ductility of Ni3Al with <24.5 at. % Al.The tensile ductility of Ni3Al alloys depends strongly on test environments at elevated temperatures, with much lower ductilities observed in air than in vacuum. The loss in ductility is accompanied by a change in fracture mode from transgranular to intergranular. This embrittlement is due to a dynamic effect involving simultaneously high localized stress, elevated temperature, and gaseous oxygen. The embrittlement can be alleviated by control of grain shape or alloying with chromium additions. All the results are discussed in terms of localized stress concentration and grain-boundary cohesive strength.

Magnesium Sheet

Magnesium alloy sheet has received increasing attention in automotive and aerospace industries. It is widely recognized that magnesium sheet has a poor formability at room temperature. While at elevated temperature, its formability can be dramatically improved. Most of work in the field has been working with the magnesium sheet after annealed around 350°C. In this paper, the as-received commercial magnesium sheet (AZ31B-H24) with thickness of 2mm has been experimentally studied without any special heat treatment. Uniaxial tensile tests at room temperature and elevated temperature were first conducted to have a better understanding of the material properties of magnesium sheet (AZ31B-H24). Then, limit dome height (LDH) tests were conducted to capture forming limits of magnesium sheet (AZ31B-H24) at elevated temperatures. An optical method has been introduced to obtain the stress-strain curve at elevated temperatures. Experimental results of the LDH tests were presented.

Cast Aluminum Alloys

This paper contributes to the effect of elevated temperature on the fatigue strength of common aluminum cast alloys EN AC-46200 and EN AC-45500. The examination covers both static as well as cyclic fatigue investigations to study the damage mechanism of the as-cast and post-heat-treated alloys. The investigated fracture surfaces suggest a change in crack origin at elevated temperature of 150 ∘ C. At room temperature, most fatigue tests reveal shrinkage-based micro pores as their crack initiation, whereas large slipping areas occur at elevated temperature. Finally, a modified a r e a -based fatigue strength model for elevated temperatures is proposed. The original a r e a model was developed by Murakami and uses the square root of the projected area of fatigue fracture-initiating defects to correlate with the fatigue strength at room temperature. The adopted concept reveals a proper fit for the fatigue assessment of cast Al-Si materials at elevated temperatures; in detail, the slope of the original model according to Murakami should be decreased at higher temperatures as the spatial extent of casting imperfections becomes less dominant at elevated temperatures. This goes along with the increased long crack threshold at higher operating temperature conditions.

The hot-rolled and extruded AZ31 specimens are subjected to tensile tests at room and elevated temperatures. At room temperature, the yield stress of the hot-rolled specimen is significantly higher than that of the extruded, the reason for which is related to the different textures developed in the two type specimens, as well as the different slip systems activated. At elevated temperatures, the strain rate sensitivity and the activation energy are obtained to characterize the deformation mechanism of the alloy during the temperature range of 423~573K.

Nickel aluminide alloys are ordered intermetallic compounds which show promise for elevated temperature applications, some of which involve sliding contact. The present investigation was conducted to develop an initial understanding of the unlubricated sliding behavior of a nickel aluminide alloy at room and elevated temperatures. In particular, the variations in the friction coefficient and the wear track morphology during the break-in stage and subsequent transitions were studied. Pin-on-disk experiments were conducted at room temperature and at 650° C (923° K) in air using fixed 9.5 mm diameter polycrystalline alumina balls as the pin material. To provide a comparison in behavior, nickel (Ni-200) disks were tested under the same conditions. The sliding friction coefficient of alumina on nickel aluminide was considerably higher than that for alumina on nickel at room temperature, but it was only slightly higher at 650° C. The wear was similar for both materials at room temperature, but the nickel aluminide exhibited relatively mild wear at 650° C, displaying less severe surface damage than the nickel. Work on identifying key friction and wear mechanisms and on evaluating the temperature limitations for future applications will continue.

The mechanism of climb of dissociated dislocations in f.c.c. metals and alloys is not well understood. Climb of dislocations by absorption or emission of vacancies at existing jogs in dissociated dislocations has been observed using the “weak-beam” technique of electron microscopy, but the mechanism of nucleation of jogs is not clear. In this paper we report some results of experiments designed to study the nucleation problem, and more generally the mechanism of absorption of point defects under conditions of high supersaturation.Thin (111) sections of deformed single crystals of Cu-Al alloys, of various compositions, have been electron irradiated in an AEI EM7 HVEM up to 1 MeV, either at room temperature, or elevated temperatures up to 200°C, using a goniometer heating stage. Observations under weak beam conditions have been made a) in situ in the HVEM b) at 100kV in an JEM100B, following irradiation in the HVEM. Interstitials produced by the irradiation are expected to be preferentially attracted to the dislocations because of the strong dislocation-interstitial interaction.

AbstractFabrication and characteristics of high voltage, high speed DMOSFETs in 4H-SiC are presented. The devices were built on 1.2×1016 cm-3 doped, 6 mm thick n-type epilayer grown on a n+ 4H-SiC substrate. A specific on-resistance of 8.7 mW-cm2 and a blocking voltage of 950 V were measured. Device characteristics were measured for temperatures up to 300oC. An increase of specific on-resistance by 35% observed at 300oC, when compared to the value at room temperature. This is due to a negative shift in MOS threshold voltage, which decreases the MOS channel resistance at elevated temperatures. This effect cancels out the increase in drift layer resistance due to a decrease in bulk electron mobility at elevated temperature, resulting in a temperature stable on-resistance. The device operation at temperatures up to 300 oC and high speed switching results are also reported in this paper.
