Amounts of vanadium up to 2.5% do not significantly affect the ordering kinetics in these alloys. It is suggested that the transformation bcc → L20 in this system occurs by a homogeneous process rather than by nucleation and growth of ordered domains. Rates of antiphase domain coalescence are affected by vanadium. Coalescence is very rapid in FeCo below 550°C but is relatively slow in FeCo and FeCo-V above 550°C, when a linear (domain size) vs. time relationship is obeyed.

This effective stress is defined by σέ = σ − σ0, where σ0 is a threshold value that increases linearly with volume fraction of alumina and below which no deformation occurs.

Subsequent to the Luders strain, work-hardening Stages I and II are seen in nearly all cases. Stage II is followed by a stage of conjugate slip which often begins with an inhomogeneous propagation. Subsequent to this propagation, or in its absence, hardening on the conjugate system proceeds in a linear fashion at a rate of between 3 and 7 kgf/mm2 (29 and 69 MN/m2), dependent on orientation.

It is proposed that this inhibition is due to the precipitates affecting adversely the ability of the high-angle grain boundaries to absorb or emit vacancies. During strain, precipitates are collected at those boundaries which are parallel to the tensilestress axis and this results in the diffusion-creep rate falling continuously. A simple model is presented which assumes that deformation can proceed only by the generation of dislocations in the matrix adjacent to the intergranular precipitates. The derived relationship between strain (e) and time (t) is e = (α/β) (1 – exp – J3t), where α and β are constants for a given specimen and test condition. The diffusional strain predicted from this equation was found to be in reasonable agreement with that observed in a creep specimen of a magnesium – 0.55 wt.-% zirconium alloy.

Beyond this point, the rate of crack propagation may be either time- or cycle-dependent, according to stress level. Fatigue specimens show marked grain growth at a rate that increases with increasing stress level. High-frequency tests are associated with less growth and enhanced boundary cavitation.
