Influence of grain size distribution on the Hall-Petch relationship of welded structural steel

TLDR
In this paper, a rule of mixtures based approach for determining the characteristic length of the microstructure for heterogeneous weld metal was introduced, and the proposed grain size parameter, the volume-weighted average grain size, was measured experimentally for nine structural steel weld metals and two base materials.
Abstract
The strength of polycrystalline metals increases with a decrease in grain size according to the Hall–Petch relationship. However, heterogeneous microstructures deviate from this relationship depending on the distribution of grain sizes. This paper introduces a rule of mixtures based approach for determining the characteristic length of the microstructure for heterogeneous weld metal. The proposed grain size parameter, the volume-weighted average grain size, is measured experimentally for nine structural steel weld metals and two base materials. The weld metals are found to have a large variety of grain size distributions that are noticeably broader than those of the base material due to differences in phase contents. The results show that the volume-weighted average grain size is able to capture the influence of grain size distribution on the strength of welded structural steel. Based on the experimental results, a modified Hall–Petch relationship is formulated for the strength prediction of heterogeneous microstructures. The modified relationship is also found to be applicable to data from the literature.

A study on laser beam oscillating welding characteristics for the 5083 aluminum alloy: Morphology, microstructure and mechanical properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of oscillating parameters on the weld porosity and morphology was investigated, and the tensile strength and the elongation of the laser oscillating welding joints were much higher than the joints without oscillation, mainly owing to the suppression of porosity.

Microstructures and properties of Al–Zn–Mg–Mn alloy with trace amounts of Sc and Zr

TL;DR: In this article, a microstructures and properties of Al−Zn−Mg−Mn alloy with trace amounts of Sc and Zr have been investigated, and the results show that the addition of minor Sc and zr to Al− Zn−mg−mn alloy can effectively refine grain size caused by the formation of Al 3 (Sc, Zr) particles with cubic L1 2 structure, which is coherent with α(Al) matrix.

Indentation size effects in crystalline materials: A law for strain gradient plasticity

TL;DR: In this article, the indentation size effect for crystalline materials can be accurately modeled using the concept of geometrically necessary dislocations, which leads to the following characteristic form for the depth dependence of the hardness: H H 0 1+ h ∗ h where H is the hardness for a given depth of indentation, h, H 0 is a characteristic length that depends on the shape of the indenter, the shear modulus and H 0.

TL;DR: The geometrically necessary dislocations as discussed by the authors were introduced to distinguish them from the statistically storages in pure crystals during straining and are responsible for the normal 3-stage hardening.
