TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY AND PREDICTION OF THE MECHANICAL BEHAVIORS OF ULTRAFINE GRAINED ALUMINUM UNDER UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION
In the present work, we explore the strain hardening behaviors as well as the effect of temperature on the plastic deformation of ultrafine grained aluminum. The temperature sensitivity is determined and compared with that of coarse grained material. The results indicate that the flow stress of ultr...

Summary: | In the present work, we explore the strain hardening behaviors as well as the effect of temperature on the plastic deformation of ultrafine grained aluminum. The temperature sensitivity is determined and compared with that of coarse grained material. The results indicate that the flow stress of ultrafine grained aluminum displays enhanced sensitivity to temperature. The reduction in activation volume is suggested to be the major reason for the enhanced temperature sensitivity as grain size is refined into the sub-micrometer regime. Finally, a phenomenological constitutive model is proposed to describe the post-yield response of ultrafine grained aluminum. |
