Experimental Study of Grain Interactions on Rolling Texture Development in Face-Centered Cubic MetalsRAY, ATISH 26 September 2009 (has links)
There exists considerable debate in the texture community about whether grain interactions are a necessary factor to explain the development of deformation textures in polycrystalline metals. Computer simulations indicate that grain interactions play a significant role, while experimental evidence shows that the material type and starting orientation are more important in the development of texture and microstructure. A balanced review of the literature on face-centered cubic metals shows that the opposing viewpoints have developed due to the lack of any complete experimental study which considers both the intrinsic (material type and starting orientation) and extrinsic (grain interaction) factors. In this study, a novel method was developed to assemble ideally orientated crystalline aggregates in 99.99\% aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu) to experimentally evaluate the effect of grain interactions on room temperature deformation texture. Ideal orientations relevant to face-centered cubic rolling textures, Cube $\{100\}\left<001\right>$, Goss $\{110\}\left<001\right>$, Brass $\{110\}\left<1\bar{1}2\right>$ and Copper $\{112\}\left<11\bar{1}\right>$ were paired in different combinations and deformed by plane strain compression to moderate strain levels of 1.0 to 1.5. Orientation dependent mechanical behavior was distinguishable from that of the neighbor-influenced behavior. In interacting crystals the constraint on the rolling direction shear strains ($\gamma_{_{XY}}, \gamma_{_{XZ}}$) was found to be most critical to show the effect of interactions via the evolution of local microstructure and microtexture. Interacting crystals with increasing deformations were observed to gradually rotate towards the S-component, $\{123\}\langle\bar{6}\bar{3}4\rangle$. Apart from the average lattice reorientations, the interacting crystals also developed strong long-range orientation gradients inside the bulk of the crystal, which were identified as accumulating misorientations across the deformation boundaries. Based on a statistical procedure using quaternions, the orientation and interaction related heterogeneous deformations were characterized by three principal component vectors and their respective eigenvalues for both the orientation and misorientation distributions. For the case of a medium stacking fault energy metal like Cu, the texture and microstructure development depends wholly on the starting orientations. Microstructural instabilities in Cu are explained through a local slip clustering process, and the possible role of grain interactions on such instabilities is proposed. In contrast, the texture and microstructure development in a high stacking fault energy metal like Al is found to be dependent on the grain interactions. In general, orientation, grain interaction and material type were found to be key factors in the development of rolling textures in face-centered cubic metals and alloys. Moreso, in the texture development not any single parameter can be held responsible, rather, the interdependency of each of the three parameters must be considered. In this frame-work polycrystalline grains can be classified into four types according to their stability and susceptibility during deformation. / Thesis (Ph.D, Mechanical and Materials Engineering) -- Queen's University, 2009-09-25 23:59:11.809

Investigating The Effect Of Deformation And Annealing Texture On Magnetic Anisotropy In Low-c Steel Sheets By Magnetic Barkhausen Noise MethodAkcaoglu, Fehmi Umit 01 February 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Deformation and annealing texture in the cold rolled low carbon steels is important for sheet metal forming operations and service performance. The aim of this study is to non-destructively investigate the effect of texture on magnetic anisotropy. Various samples having different textures and residual stress states, due to different % reduction in thickness, annealing and stress relieving treatment, were prepared. Texture maps were obtained by Magnetic Barkhausen noise measurements performed with 100 steps between the ranges of 00-3600 on the surface. Microstructure investigation by optical & / scanning electron microscopy / hardness and tension tests were performed / and texture was determined by X-Ray diffraction method. The results were compared, evaluated and discussed to establish relationship between texture and magnetic Barkhausen Noise emission.

Texture et Anisotropie du comportement mécanique après laminage à chaud d'un alliage léger Aluminium Cuivre Lithium (2050) pour l'aéronautique / Hot rolling texture and anisotropy of mechanical behaviour of a light al-cu-li alloy for aeronauticContrepois, Quentin 12 January 2010 (has links)
Ce travail vise à comprendre l’évolution de la texture cristallographique et l’anisotropie du comportement mécanique après laminage à chaud et traitements thermiques d’un Al-Cu-Li 2050 et d’un Al-Zn-Mg-Cu 7050, et expliquer leurs différences. La texture est analysée par EBSD et RX après des essais de compression plane à chaud et après des laminages à chaud industriels. L’anisotropie est étudiée sur des tôles fortes industrielles après différents détensionnements et dans différents états microstructuraux par des essais de traction à 0°, 45° et 90° par rapport à DL. Enfin, nous comparons nos mesures à des résultats simulés par des modèles de plasticité cristalline (modèles de Taylor). Il est montré que, déformés dans des conditions identiques, les deux alliages développent les mêmes textures de laminage jusqu'à une déformation de 2.6. La présence de 1% massique de Li n’est à priori pas responsable d’une texture particulière. En revanche la température de laminage, qui est généralement plus élevée pour les Al-Cu-Li que pour les Al-Zn-Mg-Cu, a un impact important aux grandes déformations, notamment en favorisant la composante Laiton {110}<112>. L'anisotropie d'une tôle laminée de 2050 est pour une large part due à la texture cristallographique. Elle augmente quand un détensionnement est effectué par traction dans la direction DL et diminue quand il est effectué à 45°/DL. La précipitation durcissante, composée de T1 Al2CuLi en forme de plaquettes sur les plans {111}Al, augmente la résistance de la direction préalablement tractionnée mais n'est pas responsable dans nos conditions expérimentales d'une forte aggravation de l'anisotropie. Dans le 7050, l'anisotropie diminue entre l’état mûri naturellement et l’état sur-revenu. La précipitation de sur-revenu du 7050 atténue l'effet de la texture cristallographique sur l'anisotropie et rend, en comparaison, le 2050 d’autant plus anisotrope. / This work aims to understand hot rolling texture evolution and anisotropy of mechanical behaviour on an Al-Cu-Li 2050 and an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu 7050, and aims to explain their differences. Crystallographic textures are analysed by EBSD and X-ray after hot plane strain compressions and after industrial hot rolling. Anisotropy of industrial hot rolled plates is investigated after different stretching and different ageing treatments by means of tensile tests at 0°, 45° and 90° to RD. Experimental results are compared to predictions using plasticity models (Taylor models). It is shown that, under the same processing conditions, the two alloys develop the same rolling textures up to strain of 2.6 ; it can be concluded that the presence of 1wt% of Li does not by itself favour a particular texture. However, it is shown that Brass component {110}<112> is favoured by an increasing rolling temperature, which is generally higher in the Al-Cu-Li than in the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu. Anisotropy of hot rolled 2050 is for a large part caused by crystallographic texture. It increases when stretch axis is at 0° and decreases when stretch axis is at 45°. Hardening precipitation, made by plate shape T1 Al2CuLi lying on the {111}Al, increases yield strength in the stretched direction but it is not responsible in our experimental conditions for a high increase of anisotropy. Anisotropy of 7050 is less important in the over aged state than in the natural aged state. Over ageing precipitation of 7050 reduces the effect of crystallographic texture on the anisotropy and makes 2050 appearing much more anisotropic.

Entwicklung einer Warmwalztechnologie für Warmband einer Mg-2Zn-1Al-0,3Ca-Legierung mit hoher UmformbarkeitKittner, Kristina 18 February 2021 (has links)
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde eine Warmwalztechnologie für gießgewalztes Vorband der calciumhaltigen Magnesiumlegierung Mg-2Zn-1Al-0,3Ca (ZAX210) entwickelt. Ausgangspunkt war die Untersuchung des Verformungs- und Rekristallisationsverhaltens in Abhängigkeit der Umformtemperatur, Umformgeschwindigkeit und des Umformgrades. Dabei wurde die zwillingsinduzierte dynamische Rekristallisation als dominierender Rekristallisationsmechanismus vor allem bei erhöhten Umformgeschwindigkeiten identifiziert. Basierend auf den daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnissen konnte ein Prozessfenster für das Warmwalzen abgeleitet werden, welches die Erzeugung eines 2 mm dicken Fertigbandes mit abgeschwächter Textur, guten mechanischen Eigenschaften und einer verbesserten Umformbarkeit, insbesondere im Vergleich zu den Standardknetlegierungen AZ31 und ZE10, erlaubte. Die Warmwalzparameter sind unter Berücksichtigung gleicher Randbedingungen auf einen industriellen Warmwalzprozess übertragbar.

Role Of Stacking Fault Energy On Texture Evolution In Micro- And Nano-Crystalline Nickel-Cobalt AlloysRadhakrishnan, Madhavan 12 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Plastic deformation of metals and alloys are invariably accompanied by the development of texture. The origin of texture is attributed to the deformation micro-mechanisms associated with processing. The face-centered cubic (FCC) metals and alloys are known to exhibit two distinct types of textures when subjected to large strain rolling deformation, namely, (i) Cu-type texture, commonly seen in high/medium stacking fault energy (SFE) materials, (ii) Bs-type texture in low SFE materials. The circumstances that could result in the formation of Bs-type texture in low SFE materials still remains an open question and no definite mechanism has been uniquely agreed upon.
Apart from the SFE, grain size could also influence the deformation mechanism and hence the deformation texture. It is well known that in materials with grain sizes less than 100 nm (referred to as nano-crystalline materials), the microstructures contain large fraction of grain boundaries. This subsequently introduces a variety of deformation mechanisms in the microstructure involving grain boundary-mediated processes such as grain boundary sliding and grain rotation, in addition to slip and twinning. A clear understanding of texture evolution in nano-crystalline materials, particularly at large strains, is a topic that remains largely unexplored.
The present work is an attempt to address the aforementioned issues pertaining to the evolution of deformation texture, namely, (i) the effect of SFE and (ii) the effect of grain size, in FCC metals and alloys. Nickel-cobalt alloys are chosen as the model system for the present investigation. The addition of cobalt to nickel leads to a systematic reduction of SFE as a function of cobalt content. In this thesis, three alloys of Ni-Co system have been considered, namely, nickel – 20 wt.% cobalt, nickel – 40 wt.% cobalt and nickel – 60 wt.% cobalt. For a comparison, pure nickel has also been subjected to similar study.
Chapter 1 of the thesis presents a detailed survey of literature pertaining to the evolution of rolling textures in FCC metals and alloys, and chapter 2 includes the details of the experimental techniques and characterization procedures, which are commonly employed for the entire work.
Chapter 3 addresses the effect of stacking fault energy on the evolution of rolling texture. The materials subjected to study in this chapter are microcrystalline Ni-Co alloys. The texture evolution in Ni-20Co is very similar to pure Ni, and a characteristic Cu-type rolling texture is observed. The evolution of texture in these materials is primarily attributed to the intense dislocation activity throughout the deformation stages. In Ni-40Co, a medium SFE material, the rolling texture was predominantly Cu-type up to a strain of ε = 3 (95% thickness reduction). However, beyond this strain level, namely at ε = 4 (98%), the texture gets transformed to Bs-type with orientations maxima predominantly close to Goss ({110} <001>) position. Simultaneously, the Cu component which was dominant until 95% reduction has completely disappeared. The analysis of microstructures indicate that deformation is mostly accommodated by dislocation slip up to 95%, however, at ε > 3, Cu-type shear bands get initiated, preferably in the Cu-oriented ({112} <111>) grains. The sub-grains within the shear bands show preferred orientation towards Goss, which indicates that the Cu component should have undergone transformation and resulted in high fraction of Goss component. In Ni-60Co alloy, Bs-type texture forms in the early stages of deformation (ε ~ 0.5) itself and further deformation results in strengthening of the texture with an important difference that the maximum in orientation distribution has been observed at a location close to Goss component, rather than at exact Bs-location. The development of Bs-type texture is accompanied by the complete absence of Cu and S components. Extensive EBSD analyses show that the deformation twinning gets initiated beyond 10% reduction and was found extensively in most of the grains up to 50% reduction. At higher strains, tendency for twinning ceases and extensive shear banding is observed. A non-random distribution of orientations close to Goss orientation was found within the shear bands. The near-Goss component in the Ni-60Co alloy can be explained on the basis of deformation twinning and shear banding. Thus, a reasonable understanding of the deformation texture transition in the extreme SFE range has been developed.
In chapter 4, the effect of fine grain size on the evolution of rolling texture has been addressed. Nanocrystalline (nc) nickel-cobalt alloys with a mean grain size of ~20 nm have been prepared by pulse electro-deposition method. For a comparison, nc Nickel (without cobalt) with similar grain size has also been deposited. For all the materials, a weakening of the initial fiber texture is observed in the early stage of room temperature rolling (ε ~ 0.22). A combination of equiaxed grain microstructure and texture weakening suggests grain boundary sliding as an operative mechanism in the early stage of rolling. At large strain (ε = 1.2), Ni-20Co develops a Cu-type texture with high fractions of S and Cu components, similar to pure Ni. The texture evolution in Ni-40Co and Ni-60Co alloys is more towards Bs-type. However, the texture maximum occurs at a location 10° away from the Goss. The evolution of Cu and S components in nc Ni-60Co alloy takes place simultaneously along with the α-fiber components during rolling. Microstructural investigation by TEM indicates deformation twinning to be more active in all the materials up to 40% reduction. However, no correlation could be drawn between the texture evolution and the density of twins. The deformation of nc Ni-20Co alloy, is also accompanied by significant grain growth at all the stages of rolling. The increase in grain size, subsequently, renders the texture to be of Cu-type. However, Ni-40Co and Ni-60Co alloys show high grain stability. The absence of strain heterogeneities such as shear bands, and the lack of significant fraction of deformation twins indicate that the observed Bs-type texture could be due to planar slip. The increase in deformation beyond 70% reduction caused a modest reduction in the intensity of deformation texture. The microstructural observation indicates the occurrence of restoration mechanisms such as recovery/ recrystallization at large strains.
The overall findings of the investigation have been summarized in chapter 5. The deformation mechanism maps relating stacking fault energy with amount of strain and with grain size are proposed for micro- and nano- crystalline materials respectively.
