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}

This is accomplished by using a modified Gibbs–Thompson equation to represent the composition in the matrix at the precipitate/matrix interface as a function of precipitate radius. In this way one can account for the increasing curvature of the dissolving precipitate. The range of physical parameters for which the effect of curvature may appreciably alter the kinetics of diffusion-controlled dissolution is discussed. The presence of curvature tends to speed up dissolution, being particularly important at long times (i.e., small precipitate sizes) and when the difference between the solute concentration at the precipitate/matrix interface (Cr I ) and in the depleted matrix (C M ) is small. It is shown, however, that curvature will, in general, not sensibly affect the dissolution kinetics even at long times unless the concentration difference (Cr I – C M ) is sufficiently small.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"127 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":"128901597","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 most dramatic change in structures and properties occurs at pressures in excess of that required to induce the phase transformation α → ɛ → α. The value of this pressure depends on the original microstructure of the steel, so that an annealed low-carbon steel shows considerable transformation at 150 kilobars, while a normalized 0.99% C steel does not transform until the peak pressure exceeds 200 kilobars. Below the transformation pressure the low-carbon steel is strengthened by shock-loading, while this does not occur in the two high-carbon steels.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"29 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":"122500531","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}

Considering the general characteristics of martensitic materials that exhibit the shape memory behaviour, some phenomena peculiar to the prototype NiTi alloy are shown to have no direct relation to the shape memory. It is concluded that the shape memory effect can be universally correlated with a martensitic transformation that is thermoelastic in nature, the thermoelasticity being attributed to ordering in the parent and martensitic phases.Prerequisites for the shape memory behaviour are suggested to be: (1) that the martensitic transformation is thermoelastic; (2) that the parent and martensitic phases are ordered; and (3) that the martensite is internally twinned.
