Mikrostruktura, její stabilita a únavové vlastnosti ultrajemnozrnné mědi připravené metodou ECAP / Microstructure, it´s Stability and Fatigue Properties of Ultra-Fine Grained Copper Prepared by ECAP Method

This work deals with fatigue properties and stability of microstructure of ultrafine-grained (UFG) copper prepared by severe plastic deformation by means of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) method. The effect of different fatigue loading regimes and thermal exposition on microstructural changes was investigated and the fatigue lifetime curves were experimentally determined. The research attention was focussed on localization of cyclic plastic deformation and fatigue crack initiation in UFG structure. Experimental results indicate that after stress-controlled fatigue loading (both symmetrical and asymmetrical) the microstructure remains ultrafine; no grain coarsening was observed. Contrary to this, strain-controlled fatigue loading results in formation of bimodal structure. Grain coarsening was observed also after thermal exposition at 250 °C for 30 minutes. Annealing at lower temperatures does not result in grain coarsening or development of bimodal structure. Fatigue loading results in development of surface relief in form of cyclic slip markings. Their density, distribution and shape differ for particular fatigue loading regimes. Differences in crack initiation mechanism in low- and high-cycle fatigue region were found. Nevertheless, the characteristic feature for all loading regimes was stability of UFG microstructure in the region of cyclic slip bands and fatigue cracks.
