数字剪切散斑干涉法研究铝合金中Portevin-Le Chatelier带的离面变形行为

作为Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)带的重要特征之一,其离面变形仍缺乏实验研究.本文提出使用数字剪切散斑干涉法研究GB6061铝合金中PLC带的离面变形.通过图像相减得到的条纹图,实时观察了PLC带的几何形貌和传播过程,并获得了PLC带离面位移分布.在1/15 s内,PLC带的最大离面位移为245 nm,位置偏向于PLC带传播的前沿.在条纹图中,PLC带传播前沿的亮条纹始终较窄.此外,实验还观察到PLC带位置变更和倾角转向的演化过程.实验表明,数字剪切散斑干涉法具有高灵敏度和防震性,是研究PLC带离面变形简便有效的方法.     

Investigation of Portevin-Le Chatelier effect in 5456 Al-based alloy using digital image correlation

A variety of experimental methods have been proposed for Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect. They mainly focused on the in-plane deformation. In order to achieve the high-accuracy measurement, three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) was employed in this work to investigate the PLC effect in 5456 Al-based alloy. The temporal and spatial evolutions of deformation in the full field of specimen surface were observed. The large deformation of localized necking was determined experimentally. The distributions of out-of-plane displacement over the loading procedure were also obtained. Furthermore, a comparison of measurement accuracy between two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC) and 3D-DIC was also performed. Due to the theoretical restriction, the measurement accuracy of 2D-DIC decreases with the increase of deformation. A maximum discrepancy of about 20% with 3D-DIC was observed in this work. Therefore, 3D-DIC is actually more essential for the high-accuracy investigation of PLC effect.     

高速DSPI研究PLC剪切带成核演化过程

在适当的温度、应变率和预变形下,合金材料的拉伸试验中,将会出现伴随应力锯齿形跌落的雪崩式剪切变形带,即PLC(Portevin-Le Chatelier)效应。本文利用高速(1000 fps)数字散斑干涉法(DSPI),对不同加载应变率下,铝合金(LY10)试件中出现的连续(A-type)、间断(B-type)传播和随机(C-type)出现的三种PLC剪切带的瞬态成核与演化过程进行捕捉,通过对捕捉的试件表面系列散斑干涉图进行顺序相减处理,得到试件表面变形过程中位移的分布和演化系列条纹图。实验结果显示,对应于三种类型的剪切带,有两种主要的成核演化形式:1.A型剪切带的主要成核形式为先形成一个在观察平面上与拉伸轴方向成60°角并且横跨试件宽度的窄带,伴随着应力下落,剪切带开始沿自身宽度方向高速扩展达到最终宽度;2.对应于B、C型剪切带,先在观察平面上试件的一侧形成沿与拉伸轴方向呈60°角、长度约为最终长度一半的窄带。随着应力下落,带的前沿开始向试件的另一侧面沿自身长度方向传播,在传播过程中带逐渐沿自身宽度方向膨胀。带的前沿贯穿试件后,带开始高速膨胀,导致雪崩式剪切变形发生。     

On the dynamical mechanism of cross-over from chaotic to turbulent states

The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect is one of the few examples of organization of defects. Here the spatio-temporal dynamics emerges from the cooperative behavior of the constituent defects, namely dislocations and point defects. Recent dynamical approach to the study of experimental time series reports an intriguing cross-over phenomenon from a low dimensional chaotic to an infinite dimensional scale invariant power-law regime of stress drops in experiments on CuAl single crystals and AlMg polycrystals, as a function of strain rate. We show that an extension of a dynamical model due to Ananthakrishna and coworkers for the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect reproduces this cross-over. At low and medium strain rates, the model shows chaos with the structure of the attractor resembling the reconstructed experimental attractor. At high strain rates, the model exhibits a power-law statistics for the magnitudes and durations of the stress drops as in experiments. Concomitantly, the largest Lyapunov exponent is zero. In this regime, there is a finite density of null exponents which itself follows a power law. This feature is similar to the Lyapunov spectrum of a shell model for turbulence. The marginal nature of this state is visualized through slow manifold approach.     

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     

基于数字图像相关法的Mg含量对Al合金Protein-Le Chatelier效应影响的实验研究

利用数字图像相关法研究了常温与恒定应变率(5.00×10~(-3)s~(-1))下Mg含量(质量分数)分别为2.30%,4.57%,6.10%及6.91%四种Al-Mg合金Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)效应的宏观变形行为.实验发现,Mg含量的增加导致强化效果的增强;低Mg含量(2.30%)合金中锯齿跌落幅值基本保持不变,而在高Mg含量(4.57%,6.10%,6.91%)合金中随应变增加而增加.锯齿跌落幅值随Mg含量增加而逐渐增大,在高Mg含量合金中趋于饱和.宏观局域变形带的观察结果表明PLC带宽不随Mg含量或者应变改变而变化,带内变形量随着Mg含量或者应变的增加而逐渐增大.此外,在低Mg含量合金的加载曲线后段(应变约为0.3时)观测到了特殊的周期性的衰减锯齿,相应的时域PLC带演化表明加载曲线的周期性转变大锯齿对应着空间上PLC带的转向,幅度逐渐减小的振荡对应着PLC带的传播,且在转向前后PLC带均向上连续传播.     

数字散斑相关法研究镍钴基高温合金中的PLC效应

作为航空发动机涡轮盘用新型材料,镍钴基变形高温合金在300～600℃温度区间内拉伸时会产生Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC)效应.本文采用数字散斑相关方法,研究了镍钴基变形高温合金在400℃下拉伸变形过程中伴随PLC效应出现的应变局域化现象,即PLC带.实验结果表明,PLC带内的应变比试件平均应变大一个数量级,而带外部分应变接近于零.同时还观察到了带外部分的弹性收缩现象,即出现应变为负的区域.在拉伸全程中,PLC带与拉伸轴方向成约60°的夹角.PLC带的宽度均为4～4.5 mm,远大于试件最小尺寸(厚度),这一点与铝合金中的带宽与试件最小尺寸相近这一现象截然不同.     

Al-Mg合金中析出强化相对Portevin-Le Chatelier效应的影响

Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)效应作为广泛存在于各种合金材料中的重要塑性失稳现象一直受到研究者的广泛关注。本文对镁原子质量百分含量分别为2.5%和5%的两种铝合金-国标LF2和LF5铝合金进行宏观拉伸实验和透射电子显微镜观察实验。通过宏观和微观实验结果的对比分析表明,由于LF5合金中作为溶质的Mg原子的含量相对于LF2合金成倍增加导致析出相颗粒数量也成倍增加,进而引起PLC效应在强度和加工硬化时间的倍增,这些对应关系表明Al-Mg合金中析出相颗粒是产生并影响PLC效应的重要因素。实验结果显示虽然析出相颗粒数量在多方面影响PLC效应,但是对其飞行时间的影响却微乎其微。
