A distinction is made between penetration without external stress and the embrittlement itself. However, the results show that a description of grain-boundary embrittlement must take into account the preliminary step of intergranular penetration by gallium. Moreover, two stages must be distinguished in the penetration of gallium; the driving force of the first stage seems to be a strong interaction between gallium and the grain boundaries. This interaction is usually described as intergranular adsorption. A general scheme for aluminium grain-boundary embrittlement and/or penetration is proposed. Some observations on the microstructure of the grain-boundary surfaces separated by liquid gallium are also reported.

Suppression of the yield point for the purpose of observing the early stages of work-hardening was accomplished by decarburizing in wet hydrogen or by quenching from 700°C. Analysis of the results indicates that there are two regions of work-hardening, which operate below and above 10% elongation, respectively. During the first stage, where work-hardening is parabolic, the rate of hardening varied with grain size. This was interpreted in the light of recent experimental observations relating flow stress and dislocation density, enabling an equation to be written that describes the flow stress in terms of grain size and plastic strain for the first 10% of elongation.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133448464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Cu and Au a high-temperature relaxation peak increases with increasing grain size and stabilizes at 470 and 230 degC, respectively, above the orthodox grain-boundary damping peaks. Related damping peaks were also measured in the alloys with activation energies distributed between Cu and Au, decreasing with increasing Au content. All alloys showed stronger relaxation effects than pure Cu and Au, with a maximum at cu3Au. It is suggested that this high-temperature peak results from grain-boundary sliding and that the relaxation time and strength in Cu and Au are controlled by irregularities in the grain boundaries. Adsorption of solute atoms on the alloy boundaries will influence these irregularities and facilitate greater sliding.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"2000 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133975732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relaxation strength of the peak in copper was ∼ 8 times larger than that for silver, though the incidence of “bamboo” grain boundaries was comparable. The occurrence of the peak was associated with the development of a “bamboo” grain structure and was attributed to the reversible shear or glide of boundaries at high temperatures, coupled with the movement of boundary jogs. Trace impurities rapidly suppressed the peak, this phenomenon being explained in terms of the impurity atoms poisoning the jogs and inhibiting their movement.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125068318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

J, 1972, 6, 73) has demonstrated that it is possible to produce a precipitate of the disordered nickel-rich terminal solid solution, γ, in a matrix of the ordered γ′ phase Ni3 (Al,Ti). The present paper shows that this precipitate increases the steady-state creep-resistance of the matrix and induces a prolonged initial stage of very low creep rate (‘nilcreep stage’). The end of the nil-creep stage was associated with loss of coherency of the γ precipitate and an increase in matrix dislocation activity. A model is proposed in which the particles are treated as attractive trapping sites for superlattice dislocations, so that measurable deformation can occur only when Ostwald ripening has increased the particle spacing to a level sufficient for Orowan looping of dislocations between the particles. This model accounts for many of the observed features of the nil-creep stage.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125185540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that decreasing load ratio (R), increasing grain size, and increasing interstitial alloying content could all produce significant reductions in growth rate over the ∆K range studied (4–20 MN/m2). The conclusion was reached that the fatigue-fracture process comprised two stages: (1) the formation of relatively planar facets (primarily ∆K-controlled) and (2) their interconnection by a mechanism involving plastic tearing (primarily K max-controlled). Scanning electron microscope examination of the fatigue-fracture surfaces revealed that the orientations of individual grains exerted a considerable influence on fracture-surface morphology. This effect occurred when the scale of reversed plasticity at the crack tip was of the order of, or less than, the grain size.
