Plastic flow behavior of low carbon steel has been studied at room temperature during tensile deformation by varying the initial strain rate of 3.3x10e-4 1/sec to the final strain rate ranging from 1.33x10e-3 1/sec to 2.0x10e-3 1/sec at a fixed engineering strain of 12%. Haasen plot revealed that the mobile dislocation density remained almost invariant at the juncture where there was a sudden increase in stress with the change in strain rate and the plastic flow was solely dependent on the velocity of mobile dislocations. In that critical regime, the variation of stress with time was fitted with a Boltzman type Sigmoid function. The increase in stress was found to increase with final strain rate and the time elapsed to attain these stress values showed a decreasing trend. Both of these parameters saturated asymptotically at higher final strain rate.
The elastoplastic behavior of a two-phase stainless steel alloy is explored at the crystal scale for five levels of stress biaxiality. The crystal lattice (elastic) strains were measured with neutron diffraction using tubular samples subjected to different combinations of axial load and internal pressure to achieve a range of biaxial stress ratios. Finite element simulations were conducted on virtual polycrystals using loading histories that mimicked the experimental protocols. For this, two-phase microstructures were instantiated based on microscopy images of the grain and phase topologies and on crystallographic orientation distributions from neutron diffraction. Detailed comparisons were made between the measured and computed lattice strains for several crystal reflections in both phases for scattering vectors in the axial, radial and hoop directions that confirm the models ability to accurate predict the evolving local stress states. A strength-to-stiffness parameter for multiaxial stress states was applied to explain the initiation of yielding across the polycrystalline samples across the five levels of stress biaxiality. Finally, building off the multiaxial strength-to-stiffness, the propagation of yielding over the volume of a polycrystal was estimated in terms of an equation that provides the local stress necessary to initiate within crystals in terms of the macroscopic stress.
Due to the mechanical and inertness properties of the Epsilon phase, its formation as a compact monolayer is most wanted in plasma surface treatments of steels. This phase can be obtained by the inclusion of carbon species in the plasma. In this work, we present a systematic study of the carbon influence on the compound layer in an AISI H13 tool steel by pulsed plasma nitrocarburizing process with different gaseous ratios.
We develop a model for the gliding of dislocations and plasticity in solid He-4. This model takes into account the Peierls barrier, multiplication and interaction of dislocations, as well as classical thermally and mechanically activated processes leading to dislocation glide. We specifically examine the dc stress-strain curve and how it is affected by temperature, strain rate, and dislocation density. As a function of temperature and shear strain, we observe plastic deformation and discuss how this may be related to the experimental observation of elastic anomalies in solid hcp He-4 that have been discussed in connection with the possibility of supersolidity or giant plasticity. Our theory gives several predictions for the dc stress strain curves, for example, the yield point and the change in the work-hardening rate and plastic dissipation peak, that can be compared directly to constant strain rate experiments and thus provide bounds on model parameters.
In the present work, experimental study has been carried out to expose the thermal, mechanical, and microstructural properties of low carbon steel as well as to inspects the influence of etchant concentration and etching time on its microstructure. Ultra-low carbon steel, in the form of a sheet, was collected from the Mughal Steel Industry, Peshawar, Pakistan. The sample was chemically etched, using Nital as an etchant, by two different methods: first, by changing the etching time while keeping the composition of etchant the same and second, by keeping the time constant while varying the etchant composition in a range of 5-14 %. The microstructure analysis revealed that ultra-fine grain can be obtained for the etchant composition of 8 % nitric acid in ethanol. Additionally, we noticed that the best etching time, for getting a clear morphology, was 90 s. The X-ray diffraction revealed mainly alpha-iron. Thermal analysis showed a minor weight loss followed by weight gain of 1.31 wt %. Contraction and expansion, observed on the TDA curve, suggested the transformation of BCC to FCC structure. Our results indicated that the specimen is highly ductile, malleable and soft.
Super-compressible foam-like carbon nanotube films have been reported to exhibit highly nonlinear viscoelastic behaviour in compression similar to soft tissue. Their unique combination of light weight and exceptional electrical, thermal and mechanical properties have helped identify them as viable building blocks for more complex nanosystems and as stand-alone structures for a variety of different applications. In the as-grown state, their mechanical performance is limited by the weak adhesion between the tubes, controlled by the van der Waals forces, and the substrate allowing the forests to split easily and to have low resistance in shear. Under axial compression loading carbon nanotubes have demonstrated bending, buckling8 and fracture9 (or a combination of the above) depending on the loading conditions and on the number of loading cycles. In this work, we partially anchor dense vertically aligned foam-like forests of carbon nanotubes on a thin, flexible polymer layer to provide structural stability, and report the mechanical response of such systems as a function of the strain rate. We test the sample under quasi-static indentation loading and under impact loading and report a variable nonlinear response and different elastic recovery with varying strain rates. A Bauschinger-like effect is observed at very low strain rates while buckling and the formation of permanent defects in the tube structure is reported at very high strain rates.
