Mechanical Properties of electrodeposited Ni and Ni-Co alloys having bimodal distribution of grain sizeTang, Teng-yen 07 September 2011 (has links)
The strength of polycrystalline materials increases with decreasing grain size. The increase of strength is usually associated with deterioration of ductility, especially for materials having sub-micrometer or nanometer in grain size. It has bee suggested that the ductility of submicro- or nano- grained materials can be improved significantly by introducing a bimodal distribution of grain sizes. The purpose of the present study aims at clarifying the microstructural parameters of the bimodal distribution, such as area ratio and size difference, on the strength and ductility of pure nickel and nickel-cobalt specimens produced by electrodeposition. The microstructural parameters were determined from orientation imaging mapping technique using electron backscatter diffraction. Results indicated that the yield strength is mainly determined by the average size of the fine grains, whereas the tensile strength has a good relation with the average grain size in total. Moreover, it was showed that samples having a area ratio of the fine grains lower than 30% or higher than 70% possess a better ductility. The possible mechanism is discussed in detail.

Alliages à grains ultrafins et bimodaux : approche couplée expérience-modélisation basée sur la microstructure / Ultrafine grained and bimodal alloys : a coupled experimental-numerical approach based on the microstructureFlipon, Baptiste 22 October 2018 (has links)
Ce travail porte sur l'élaboration et l'analyse du comportement mécanique d'alliages à distribution bimodale de taille de grains. Les applications concernent les aciers inoxydables austénitiques 304L et 316L. Une approche couplée expérience-modélisation est menée pour comprendre les réponses mécaniques macroscopiques et locales de ces nouveaux alliages en se basant notamment sur l'étude des mécanismes de déformation associés. L'utilisation de deux voies d'élaboration et l'optimisation de leurs paramètres a conduit à l'obtention d'un large choix d'échantillons avec différentes distributions bimodales et différentes proportions de chaque famille de taille de grains. L'influence de ces caractéristiques microstructurales sur le comportement a été analysée sur la base d'essais en traction simple sous chargement monotone ou en charges-décharges alternées. Une base de données étendue de propriétés a ainsi été constituée et des éléments de réponse concernant les mécanismes de déformation propres aux alliages bimodaux ont pu être apportés. La présence de grains de taille conventionnelle (Coarse Grain -CG) au sein d'une matrice à grains ultrafins (UltraFine Grain - UFG) semble favoriser la relaxation d'une partie des contraintes internes de la matrice et tend ainsi à retarder l'endommagement des alliages bimodaux en comparaison aux alliages unimodaux à grains ultrafins. Une modélisation à champs complets selon deux lois de plasticité cristalline tenant compte explicitement d'une longueur interne a été proposée. Sa première motivation est de fournir un outil de prédiction du comportement effectif des alliages bimodaux en fonction de leurs caractéristiques microstructurales. Elle donne par ailleurs accès aux champs locaux et permet d'appuyer les analyses expérimentales en partition des contraintes en montrant à la fois une relaxation partielle des contraintes dans la matrice UFG mais aussi des concentrations de contrainte aux interfaces CG/UFG. / This work is focused on the elaboration and the mechanical behaviour of 304L and 316L austenitic stainless steel alloys with bimodal grain size distribution. The complementary approach between experiments and modelling enables a better understanding of both macroscopic and local mechanical responses and also of the associated deformation mechanisms.The use of two elaboration routes and optimized process parameters results in a wide range of samples with different bimodal grain size distributions. Grain sizes and fractions of each population are modified in order to study the influence of these microstructural characteristics on mechanical behavior. Uniaxial tensile tests are used to realize a database of mechanical properties of bimodal alloys and loading-unloading tests provides valuable informations about deformation mechanisms in these materials. With coarse grains (CG) embedded in an ultrafine grained (UFG) matrix, a relaxation of a part of the internal stresses seems to take place and leads to a delayed embrittlement of bimodal alloys as compared to their unimodal counterparts. Full-field modelling, based on two crystal plasticity laws with an explicit account of an internal length, is proposed. It constitutes a valuable prediction tool of effective properties of bimodal alloys in order, in particular, to study the effect of several microstructural characteristics. An access to local fields is also possible and tend, so far, to show similar results compared to experimental ones : stress relaxation is observed in the UFG matrix as well as stress concentrations at the CG/UFG interfaces.
