Unveiling asymmetric precipitation strengthening during tension and compression via statistical slip activity analysis for an untextured Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloy
Loading direction is not usually considered when evaluating precipitation-strengthening behavior. However, different precipitation-strengthening responses under tension and compression (termed T-C asymmetric precipitation strengthening) do exist in Mg alloys. In an untextured and twin-free Mg-10Gd-3Y-0.5Zr alloy, peak-aging (T6) treatment increased the yield strength (YS) by 103 MPa (+73%) under tension and 25 MPa (+11%) under compression, compared with the solid solution (T4) condition. To understand this phenomenon, both the distributions and critical resolved shear stress (CRSS) ratios of individual slip modes were statistically analyzed using slip trace analysis based on over 500 slip trace observations. The aging-induced increases in / and / were significantly greater in tension compared with compression. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that Orowan bowing was the dominant dislocation-precipitate interaction mechanism in tension, while shearing was prevalent in compression. The CRSS increments for the individual slip modes were calculated and compared for Orowan bowing and shearing. Orowan strengthening was consistently higher than shearing strengthening for all slip modes. These rationalized the higher aging-induced increase of YS in tension compared with compression. In addition, the precipitation effects on the frequency of multiple slip, cross slip and slip transfer were different in tension and compression. Overall, this work highlights the importance of considering the loading direction when studying precipitation strengthening for Mg alloys for the first time.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Plasticity aims to present original research encompassing all facets of plastic deformation, damage, and fracture behavior in both isotropic and anisotropic solids. This includes exploring the thermodynamics of plasticity and fracture, continuum theory, and macroscopic as well as microscopic phenomena.
Topics of interest span the plastic behavior of single crystals and polycrystalline metals, ceramics, rocks, soils, composites, nanocrystalline and microelectronics materials, shape memory alloys, ferroelectric ceramics, thin films, and polymers. Additionally, the journal covers plasticity aspects of failure and fracture mechanics. Contributions involving significant experimental, numerical, or theoretical advancements that enhance the understanding of the plastic behavior of solids are particularly valued. Papers addressing the modeling of finite nonlinear elastic deformation, bearing similarities to the modeling of plastic deformation, are also welcomed.
