TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the constitutive relationship for superplastic deformation of IN718 superalloy after prestraining, and the results showed that the s-−strain rate (SRS) data obtained beyond a certain strain level represent a reasonable steadystate condition.

TL;DR: In this paper, an Al-33% Cu eutectic alloy was processed by high pressure torsion (HPT) at a pressure of 6.0 GPa for 1/4 to 10 turns, and tensile tests were conducted at a temperature of 723 K on specimens processed through 5 and 10 turns of HPT.
Abstract: An Al–33% Cu eutectic alloy was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at a pressure of 6.0 GPa for 1/4 to 10 turns. Examination after processing showed a gradual evolution to a reasonable level of hardness and microstructural homogeneity after 5 or more turns. Tensile tests were conducted at a temperature of 723 K on specimens processed through 5 and 10 turns of HPT. These specimens exhibited excellent superplastic properties with a maximum elongation of ∼1250% at strain rates lower than 10−3 s−1. The results also showed that the maximum elongation is displaced to a faster strain rate when the HPT processing is conducted to a higher number of turns. An analysis demonstrates that superplastic flow in the Al–Cu alloy processed by HPT is well described by a theoretical relationship that was developed for conventional superplastic materials.

TL;DR: The relationship between flow stress and strain rate is sigmoidal with maximum ductilities occurring at intermediate strain rates in the superplastic Region II and the necks are very diffuse in Region II.
Abstract: Experiments were conducted on the Al-33% Cu eutectic alloy in both an annealed and an as-extruded condition. For both conditions, the relationship between flow stress and strain rate is sigmoidal with maximum ductilities occurring at intermediate strain rates in the superplastic Region II. Specimens fail by necking at the faster strain rates in Region III, but the severity of necking is reduced with decreasing strain rate and the necks are very diffuse in Region II. There is extensive internal cavitation in the fractured specimens, especially at lower strain rates and in the vicinity of the fracture tip. It was observed that cavities form preferentially on theα-θ interphase boundaries. It is shown by calculation that the observed change from small rounded cavities to large cavities elongated along the tensile axis is reasonably consistent with the theories of cavity growth in fine-grained superplastic alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the stress-strain curves rapidly attain a steady-state value at strain rates below ′10-4 s-1, and there is a sigmoidal relationship between stress and strain rate which may be obtained using several different testing procedures.
Abstract: Experiments were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of the superplastic Al-33 Pct Cu eutectic alloy at temperatures from 673 to 723 K. Specimens were tested in a well-annealed condition and there was no evidence for grain growth even at the lowest experimental strain rate of 6.7 × 1(10-7 s-1. It is shown that the stress-strain curves rapidly attain a steady-state value at strain rates below ′10-4 s-1, and there is a sigmoidal relationship between stress and strain rate which may be obtained using several different testing procedures. The maximum elongation to failure recorded in these experiments was 1475 Pct at an initial strain rate of 1.3 × 10-5 s-1. The true activation energy for plastic flow is 175 ±11 kJ mol-1 in the superplastic region II, but it increases to 299 ± 18 kJ mol-1 at low strain rates in region I. The exponent of the inverse grain size is 2.1 ±0.3 in region II. These results show that, when the grains size is stable, there is a genuine region I in the Al-33 Pct Cu alloy at initial strain rates below ∼10-5 s-1.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated flow behavior and micro-structural evolution in an Al-Cu eutectic alloy of equiaxed grains over e ≃ 2× 10−6 to 2 × 10−2 s−1 and T = 400° to 540 °C.
Abstract: Flow behavior and microstructural evolution in an Al-Cu eutectic alloy of equiaxed grains were investigated over e ≃ 2× 10−6 to 2 × 10−2 s−1 andT = 400° to 540 °C Depending on the test conditions, there appeared either strain hardening or strain softening predominantly in the early part of the σ-e curves The microstructural observations showed evidence for grain growth, development of zig-zag boundaries, dislocation interactions, and cavitation The grain growth adequately accounts for the observed strain hardening at higher temperatures and lower strain rates However, at lower temperatures the strain hardening can be only partly accounted for by the observed grain growth; under this condition, some dislocation interactions also contribute to the strain hardening The presence of cavitation causes strain softening predominantly at higher strain rates Therefore, to develop a proper understanding of the superplastic behavior of the Al-Cu eutectic alloy, it is necessary to take into account the influence of dislocation interactions and cavitation along with that of grain growth

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation of ingot-source beryllium was characterized as superplastic even though the elongation observed is low compared with that seen in other super-plastic materials.
Abstract: Fine grained ingot-source beryllium exhibits extensive ductility near 700°C at strain rates between 5 x 10-5/s and 5 x 10-4/s. Elongations of approximately 100 pct and strain rate sensitivities as high as 0.9 were measured in 16 μm grain size beryllium sheet under these conditions. The high ductility and high strain rate sensitivity in ingot-source beryllium involves a substantial grain boundary sliding contribution to the deformation process at high temperatures and moderately low strain rates. The deformation can probably be characterized as superplastic even though the elongation observed is low compared with that seen in other superplastic materials. Fine-grained, powder source beryllium did not show high ductility under similar conditions, presumably because of the high oxide content.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reexamined the conclusions of a recent paper and pointed out that the analysis suffers from very elementary errors with regard to the evaluation of the grain size dependence of strain rate and the activation energy for flow.
