Fatigue Properties of Ultra-fine Grain Copper Produced by ECAP Method
Navrátilová, Lucie ; Němec, Karel (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
This diploma thesis describes properties of ultra-fine grain Cu prepared via ECAP procedure. The influence of fatigue loading with positive mean stress on S-N curve (i.e. fatigue life), cyclic plastic behaviour and grain size was investigated. It was found that tensile mean stress leads to shorter lifetime in comparison with fatigue loading with zero mean stress. During main part of the lifetime, significant hardening of UFG Cu was observed. There is no distinct effect on microstructural orientation and stability.

Mechanical properties and microstructure of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloys containg neodymium and zinc
Šašek, Stanislav ; Stráská, Jitka (advisor) ; Krajňák, Tomáš (referee)
Two experimental magnesium alloys containing neodymium and zinc (Mg- 5Nd-1Zn and Mg-1Nd-1Zn) were processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) method - equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). The influence of the processing on the microstructure was studied by light optical microscopy (LOM), transmis- sion electron microscopy (TEM) and also scanning electron microscopy (SEM) including electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). A significant grain refinement was observed after the final stage of ECAP in both alloys resulting in homogenous ultra-fine grained condition. Microstructure development had a significant influ- ence on mechanical properties which were investigated by microhardness measu- rements and compression deformation tests. Both the yield compression strength σ0,2 and the microhadness significantly increased compared to the extruded/as- cast counterparts. 1

Superplastic deformation of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloys with potential for use in medicine
Vávra, Tomáš ; Minárik, Peter (advisor) ; Málek, Přemysl (referee)
Mechanical properties of ultra-fine grain magnesium alloys AE42 and LAE442 prepared by ECAP were investigated. The study was focused on finding suitable conditions for the superplastic deformation. In the first place, the thermal stability of the microstructure was investigated. Afterwards, the strain rate sensitivity was measured in the temperature range 180-240 řC and the strain rate of =5·10-5 -2·10-3 s-1 . Conditions for tensile tests of =10-4 s-1 at 180 ř C and =10-3 s-1 at 240 řC ware selected. Finally, the microstructure change as a result of deformation was observed by AFM and EBSD. The results were discussed with mechanical tests. The best superplastic properties were observed in LAE442 alloy deformed at 180 ř C and =10-4 s-1 . Under these conditions, the achieved tensile strain was 395%.

Mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloys
Nováková, Helena ; Stráská, Jitka (advisor) ; Král, Robert (referee)
This work is focused on the mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained magnesium alloy AZ31 prepared by EX-ECAP method. The main goal of the bachelor thesis is to find external conditions of superplastic deformation: deformation temperature (measured in the range 150 řC - 350 řC) and strain rate (measured in the range 10-5 s-1 - 10-2 s-1 ). Properties related to the mechanisms of superplasticity (strain rate sensitivity parameter, maximum stress and maximum elongation) were evaluated. Deformation mechanisms were furthermore observed using atomic force microscopy.
