• Mechanism of Texture and Microstructure Evolution during High Temperature Plane Strain Compression in AZ31B and AZ80 Magnesium Alloys with Various Initial Textures

  　View Summary

  <p>The effects of pre-existent textures on the evolution behaviors of microstructure and texture at high-temperature plane strain compression deformation of AZ31B magnesium alloy have been studied. Deformation is conducted at 723 K with a strain rate of 5.0 × 10⁻² s⁻¹, up to −1.3 in true strain. When non-basal slip systems are the primary slip systems, {11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>0}<10<span style="text-decoration: overline;">1</span>0> texture develops. In this case, repeated change in microstructure and texture which was found in the previous work appeared with increasing strain. Namely, replacement of {11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>0}<10<span style="text-decoration: overline;">1</span>0> texture with {10<span style="text-decoration: overline;">1</span>0}<11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>0> texture and the reverse phenomenon occurs. While the {11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>0}<10<span style="text-decoration: overline;">1</span>0> oriented grains are small and with wavy shaped grain boundaries, the {10<span style="text-decoration: overline;">1</span>0}<11<span style="text-decoration: overline;">2</span>0> oriented grains are large and with rather straight grain boundaries. The mechanism of repeated change in microstructure and texture is discussed on the basis of preferential dynamic grain growth mechanism proposed by the authors.</p>

• Effect of pearlite volume fraction on two-step ductile to brittle transition in ferrite + pearlite structure steel sheets

  　View Summary

  <p>Multi structural steels exhibit high strength and good formability; however, their performance depends on the volume fraction of the secondary phase. In our previous study, ferrite + pearlite structural steel sheet showed the characteristic two-step ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) with decreasing temperature, and the absorbed energy curve exhibited a distinct middle shelf. In this study, we evaluated the effect of pearlite volume fraction (<i>V</i>_P) on the DBT behavior by the Charpy impact test with sub-size specimens. For specimens without pearlite, the absorbed energy directly dropped from the upper shelf to the lower shelf with decreasing temperature. For samples with 2–3% pearlite, the absorbed energy corresponding to the transition temperature range was dispersed between the two shelves, and the transition behavior seemed to be the typical DBT behavior. When <i>V</i>_P was increased to 21%, the absorbed energy just above the transition-finish temperature became stable at a middle level between the two shelves; thus, the existence of a distinct middle shelf was confirmed. Although the transition-start temperature increased with increasing <i>V</i>_P, <i>V</i>_P did not affect the transition-finish temperature and the absorbed energy at the middle shelf. These results were analyzed with a simple model based on the Yoffee diagram.</p>
