A general analysis is presented for cavity nucleation, in both microstructures, under the stress concentrations caused by bursts of grain boundary sliding during superplastic deformation. In quasi-single phase alloys, calculations indicate the cavities nucleate at coarse particles located at grain boundaries because local interphase diffusion creep cannot accommodate the stress concentrations sufficiently rapidly. The analysis demonstrates that it is possible for cavities to nucleate at grain boundary ledges under some limited experimental conditions. It is demonstrated also that the present analysis is in agreement with the available experimental data on a quasi-single phase Cu-based superplastic alloy and a microduplex superplastic Zn-22% Al eutectoid alloy. Calculations show that small pre-existing cavities, if present, are likely to be sintered rapidly prior to superplastic déformation at elevated temperatures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":6969,"journal":{"name":"Acta Metallurgica","volume":"37 11","pages":"Pages 3007-3017"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0001-6160(89)90337-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83022457","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 primary procedure was to examine the same site of the specimen by SEM and TEM using surface replicas taken periodically during the fatigue tests. A periodical array of pit-shaped fatigue cracks as small as 0.1 ,um in depth forms along slip bands at 298, 77 and 4.2 K, even in an inert environment. A dislocation gliding mechanism of dislocation dipoles in the slip bands has been suggested as a possible process for the formation of these cracks. It was found that the configuration of small fatigue cracks is related to the periodically spaced dislocation regions in fatigued Cu. The growth rate of small fatigue cracks during the early stages of fatigue was measured and found to be approximately 0.1 nm/cycle at 298 and 77 K.

Till now it has been assumed that segregation kinetics is determined by bulk diffusion. But some recent experimental results and a more sophisticated account for diffusion behaviour of substitutional solutes in ferromagnetic iron show such an interpretation to be invalid at least for the embrittlement by phosphorus segregations. In contrast one has to start from the formation of a miscibility gap below 600°C within the grain boundary due to weak repulsive interaction between phosphorus and carbon. The growth of the P-rich phase by grain boundary diffusion should be rate determining to develop embrittlement. For energetical reasons the P-rich phase is favourably formed at prior austenite boundaries and may reach their dimensions. The growth kinetics of this phase is described by one-dimensional diffusion at grain boundaries. This model is successfully applied to experimental results of Möller <em>et al</em>. [<em>Archs Eisenhütt</em>. <strong>55</strong>, 543 (1984)].
