Abstract
The effect of twinning and de-twinning on precipitation behavior of a rolled AZ80 alloy has been examined. Results showed that both twinning and de-twinning deformation can promote the precipitation of continuous precipitates. And only dense continuous precipitates can be formed inside twinned and de-twinned regions. The high density crystal defects existing in the twinned and de-twinned regions increase the diffusion rate of solute elements and provide more nucleation sites for precipitation, resulting in a homogeneous and dense distribution of continuous precipitates in these regions. Comparing to direct aging, both post-twinning aging and post-de-twinning aging can remarkably increase the yield strength and peak strength by promoting the precipitation of continuous precipitates. For tension and compression, both direct aging and post-de-twinning aging reduce the strain corresponding to peak strength (εp) and static toughness (UT) to a close level. In contrast, post-twinning aging exhibits little loss in εp and largely increases UT. The strengthening and toughening mechanisms were also discussed in detail.
期刊介绍:
Materials Characterization features original articles and state-of-the-art reviews on theoretical and practical aspects of the structure and behaviour of materials.
The Journal focuses on all characterization techniques, including all forms of microscopy (light, electron, acoustic, etc.,) and analysis (especially microanalysis and surface analytical techniques). Developments in both this wide range of techniques and their application to the quantification of the microstructure of materials are essential facets of the Journal.
The Journal provides the Materials Scientist/Engineer with up-to-date information on many types of materials with an underlying theme of explaining the behavior of materials using novel approaches. Materials covered by the journal include:
Metals & Alloys
Ceramics
Nanomaterials
Biomedical materials
Optical materials
Composites
Natural Materials.
