Numerical Simulation of the Elastic Shrinkage Induced by Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect

A new one-dimensional phenomenological model based on the dynamic strain aging mechanism is developed. In order to account for the elastic shrinkage induced by the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, elastic deformation is considered under the boundary conditions of the present model. The simulated results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations.

Investigation of Kinematics of the Portevin-Le Chatelier Deformation Bands with Dynamic Digital Speckle Pattern Interferometry

The Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect with typical temporal instabilities in the recorded stress is closely associated with local inhomogeneities of deformation. By employing the dynamic digital speckle pattern interferometry technology, the characterizations for the PLC deformation bands of type A (continuous propagation along the specimen), type B (“hopping“ propagation along the specimen) and type C (random nucleation in the sample) were distinctly clarified. The corresponding positions of deformation bands were traced throughout the whole tensile process. By systemic experiments, the range of the applied strain rates for each type of bands existing was investigated respectively. The evolution of the band velocity (for types A and B) was also statistically investigated and qualitatively interpreted.     

Deformation measurements of three types of Portevin-Le Chatelier bands

In this paper a technique based on high-speed digital photography and the digital speckle correlation （DSC） method is used for the quantitative measurement of the displacement and strain fields of various Portevin Le Chatelier （PLC） bands （types A, B, and C）. The experimental results clearly show the nucleation process of a type-B band and the propagation of a type-A band. The results also reveal that there exists an elastic shrinkage deformation outside a PLC band during a large avalanche-like deformation inside the PLC band.     

Effect of solute concentration on the serrated flow in solution-treated Al-4%Cu alloys

In order to compare with annealed Al--4%Cu alloys, the influence of solute concentration on the serrated flow is investigated by solution treatment. In this paper, some dynamic parameters, such as critical time and the ultimate tensile strength are obtained. Moreover, the change of the strain rate range for serrated flow in Al--4%Cu alloys prepared by annealing and quenching heat treatments is reported too. The difference between them is attributed to the increasing solute concentration in the bulk of the solution treated materials.     

固溶处理对Al-Cu合金中Portevin-Le Chatelier效应空域行为的影响

研究了在定加载速率拉伸条件下，固溶处理对Al-Cu合金材料中PLC(Portevin-Le Chatelier)效应空域行为的影响.在较低拉伸速率时，变形初期PLC变形带在试件宽度方向中央附近某点处“成核”.随着变形的继续，出现多带共存的现象.且带宽较小，带与拉伸轴向的夹角较大.在较大拉伸速率条件下，PLC变形带先连续传播，再随机出现. 关键词： PLC效应 动态应变时效 固溶处理

位错与溶质原子间动态相互作用的数值模拟研究

通过Cottrell-Bilby型溶质动力学模型，对位错线周围的溶质原子浓度随应变率的变化进行了研究，并得到了三种不同的位错-溶质相互作用方式：在低应变率时，位错被溶质原子气团充分钉扎，它上面的溶质浓度近似达到饱和；在高应变率时，脱钉作用占主导地位，位错运动几乎不受深质影响；而在中间应变率时，位错反复经历着钉扎和脱钉过程，动态应变时效发生.此外，通过对模型方程的推导，还自然地得到了平衡状态下率相关流动应力与应变率之间的N形关系曲线. 关键词： 位错 溶质原子 动态应变时效 数值模拟

Al-4.5wt%Cu合金中溶质原子及析出相对锯齿形屈服时空特性的影响

借助不同温度下的固溶处理，得到一系列具有不同溶质原子浓度及析出相含量的Al-4.5wt%Cu合金材料试件.比较这些试件在拉伸实验中的锯齿形屈服现象的时空特性，分析溶质原子与析出相对位错运动的影响，从而探究动态应变时效产生的微观机理.实验结果显示，当固溶处理温度由500℃逐步降低，应力-时间曲线上的应力锯齿跌落幅值逐渐减小，并在300℃时达到最小.继续降低固溶处理温度至100℃，应力锯齿跌落幅值又逐渐增大.同时，热处理方式的改变对剪切带的传播特性也有显著影响.实验发现，固溶处理温度高于300℃时，溶质原子对DSA的影响强于析出相；反之，固溶处理温度低于300℃时，析出相对DSA的影响强于溶质原子；室温下析出相是影响Al-4.5wt%Cu合金DSA机理的主要因素. 关键词： 铝铜合金 锯齿形屈服 动态应变时效 固溶处理
