Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the grain size dependent work hardening of copper
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the low temperature tensile response of copper polycrystals with grain sizes in the range of 2-50μm was proposed and the initial work hardening behavior was strongly grain size dependent and was considered to arise from a combination of kinematic and isotropic hardening due to dislocation-grain boundary interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing the tension–compression yield asymmetry in a Mg–8Al–0.5Zn alloy via precipitation
TL;DR: In this paper, a reduction in asymmetry was attributed to reduced rates of twinning in the presence of Mg17Al12 precipitates, which was confirmed by texture and microstructure analyses, which showed a reduction of the scale and volume fraction of twins in aged and solution treated samples examined at equivalent levels of strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of shear-resistant, plate-shaped precipitates on the work hardening of Al alloys: Towards a prediction of the strength–elongation correlation
J. da Costa Teixeira,J. da Costa Teixeira,Laure Bourgeois,Chad W. Sinclair,Christopher Hutchinson +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the work hardening of a model Al-3Cu-0.05Sn (wt.%) alloy containing shear-resistant θ ′ (Al 2 Cu) precipitate plates was studied as a function of precipitate state.
Journal ArticleDOI
The comparative effectiveness of Nb solute and NbC precipitates at impeding grain-boundary motion in Nb steels
TL;DR: In this article, the comparative effectiveness of solute Nb and NbC particles at impeding grain-boundary motion is treated theoretically, and it is shown that, for a steel containing ∼ 0.05 cm at.% Nb (∼0.1 cm 1.5%).
Journal ArticleDOI

Seyed M. Mirvakili,Alexey Pazukha,William K.A. Sikkema,Chad W. Sinclair,Geoffrey M. Spinks,Ray H. Baughman,John D. W. Madden +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, Niobium (Nb) yarns are extracted by etching a copper-niobium nano-composite material fabricated using the severe plastic deformation process.
