In hydride-free specimens three stages, with high, low, and intermediate work-hardening exponents, are identified in the work-hardening of the alloys. The three stages, in order of occurrence, are attributed to partial plastic deformation, easy glide, and parabolic hardening. The presence of hydride lowers the initial flow stress, extends the first stage, eliminates the second stage, and lowers the work-hardening exponent of the third stage of work-hardening. These changes are believed to be caused by the hydride particles acting as stress concentrators, thus enabling localized plastic deformation to occur at low macroscopic stress levels and inducing complex slip at an early stage in work-hardening.

Rapid grain-boundary sliding was observed in the absence of macroscopic trans crystalline slip. This “pure” grain-boundary sliding was accompanied by the emission of dislocations from the sliding boundaries and the creation of substructure in the crystalline regions adjacent to the boundaries. Grain-boundary slide-hardening was often noted in the absence of observable grain-boundary cusps or irregularities. By assuming a sliding-rate law of the form έ = Aσnt(m−1) exp( − Qs/KT) and by using differential test methods, values were obtained for the apparent activation energy (Qs ) and the stress parameter (n) for the “pure” grain-boundary sliding. The values Qs = 31 ± 5 (kcal/mole) and n = 4.5 ± 1.8 give strong support to the general conclusion that “pure” grain-boundary sliding is controlled by the case with which dislocations can be emitted by a sliding boundary a...","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"48 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":"132262993","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}

Applying the full stress to the annealed metal at the first cycle, as compared with gradually building up the stress over a few thousand cycles, greatly reduced the life to fracture and considerably changed both the dislocation substructure, as revealed by transmission electron microscopy, and the nature of the slip-bands observed on the specimen surface. In some cases the yield point of the cold-worked or hot-rolled material was still falling when fatigue fracture occurred. Surface cracking remaining after creep was the significant factor reducing subsequent fatigue life.

The creep strength, over a range of stress, of samples of one cast of low-alloy Cr-Mo-V steel in various structural conditions has been examined. It is shown that there is no gain in strength (primary creep strain or secondary-creep rate) to be obtained by increasing the bainite content above ∼20% at 11 hbar and 575°C (848 K). At higher stresses, creep strength improves up to ∼60% bainite. The stress-dependence of creep is structure-sensitive and its variation indicates that at itresses <∼11 hbar material containing ∼20–30 % bainite will have a lower secondary-creep rate than fully bainitic structures.","PeriodicalId":103313,"journal":{"name":"Metal Science Journal","volume":"84 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":"131933745","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}
