MICROSTRUCTURAL INVESTIGATION AND MECHANICAL TESTING OF AN ULTRAFINE-GRAINED AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL
Chlupová, Alice ; Man, Jiří ; Polák, Jaroslav ; Karjalainen, L. P.
Special thermomechanical treatment based on high degree deformation followed by reversion annealing was applied to 301LN austenitic stainless steel to achieve ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure with considerably enhanced mechanical properties. Two different conditions of the thermomechanical treatment were adopted and resulting microstructures with different grain sizes were characterised by optical and high resolution scanning electron microscopy (FEG SEM). Hardness measurements and tensile tests were performed to characterize mechanical properties. To reveal structural changes induced during thermomechanical treatment and during tensile tests a magnetic induction method was additionally applied. Experimental study validated the ability of the treatment to produce an austenitic stainless steel with the grain size of about 1.4 mu m which exhibits tensile strength of around 1000 MPa while ductility remains close to 60 %. The results obtained for both thermomechanical conditions are compared and the relationship between microstructure refinement, phase content and mechanical properties is discussed.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of ultra-fine grained titanium alloys
Václavová, Kristína ; Stráský, Josef (vedoucí práce) ; Šíma, Vladimír (oponent)
Název práce: Mikrostruktura a mechanické vlastnosti ultrajemnozrnných slitin titanu Autor: Bc. Kristína Václavová Katedra / Ústav: Katedra fyziky materiálů Vedoucí diplomové práce: PhDr. RNDr. Josef Stráský, Ph.D. Abstrakt: Metastabilní β-slitiny titanu Ti-15Mo a Ti-6,8Mo-4,5Fe-1,5Al (TIMETAL LCB) byly připraveny metodou torze za vysokého tlaku, která patří mezi metody intenzivní plastické deformace. Mikrotvrdost slitin Ti-15Mo a TIMETAL LCB se zvyšuje s rostoucí vloženou deformací - tedy se zvyšujícím se počtem otáček HPT a také s rostoucí vzdáleností od středu vzorku. Nejvyšší hodnoty mikrotvrdosti po deformaci HPT výrazně převyšují mikrotvrdost dvoufázového α + β materiálu po tepelném zpracování. Deformovaná mikrostruktura byla studována rastrovací elektronovou mikroskopií a difrakcí zpětně odražených elektronů. Výrazné dvojčatění bylo pozorováno u obou studovaných slitin. Mechanismus vícenásobného dvojčatění výrazně přispívá k fragmentaci zrn a tedy ke zjemnění mikrostruktury. Struktura defektů ve slitině Ti-15Mo byla studována pomocí pozitronové anihilační spektroskopie. Jedinými defekty detekovanými pozitronovou anihilační spektroskopií jsou dislokace. Hustota dislokací se zvyšuje s počtem HPT otáček a s rostoucí vzdáleností od středu vzorku. Nárůst hustoty dislokací je podstatným zdrojem nárůstu...
