Dynamic recrystallization in AZ31 magnesium alloy

Abstract: The effects of temperature and strain rate, as the most important thermomechanical processing (TMP) parameters, on the microstructural evolution of AZ31 magnesium alloy were studied. This was performed applying hot compression tests at a temperature range of 250–450 °C with various strain rates. The results indicated that the amount and the size of dynamically recrystallized grains are increased as Zener–Hollomon parameter decreased. In addition, the evolution of dynamically recrystallized grains was examined with increasing strain. In general, the amount of dynamically recrystallized grain is observed to increase with strain in a sigmoidal form. However, the related grain size was remained constant as strain increased.

Dynamic Recrystallization of Austenite in Ni-30 Pct Fe Model Alloy: Microstructure and Texture Evolution

Abstract: The microstructure and crystallographic texture development in an austenitic Ni-30 pct Fe model alloy was investigated within the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) regime using hot torsion testing. The prominent DRX nucleation mechanism was strain-induced grain boundary migration accompanied by the formation of large-angle sub-boundaries and annealing twins. The increase in DRX volume fraction occurred through the formation of multiple twinning chains. With increasing strain, the pre-existing Σ3 twin boundaries became gradually converted to general boundaries capable of acting as potent DRX nucleation sites. The texture characteristics of deformed grains resulted from the preferred consumption of high Taylor factor components by new recrystallized grains. Similarly, the texture of DRX grains was dominated by low Taylor factor components as a result of their lower consumption rate during the DRX process. The substructure of deformed grains was characterized by “organized,” banded subgrain arrangements, while that of the DRX grains displayed “random,” more equiaxed subgrain/cell configurations.

I and i

Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …
