Deformation of Quenched and Tempered Low-Carbon Steel: Part I—Quasi-Static Behavior

Hot Deformation Behavior and Microstructural Evolution of a High-Strength Mg-Gd-Y-Zr Alloy

Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloys, with strong age-hardening and thermal stability, are ideal for lightweight load-bearing components, yet forming large complex parts is limited by high sensitivity to hot deformation parameters. This work investigates the hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.5Zr (wt.%...

Hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of 3003 aluminum alloy at low strain rate

Three-stage compaction mechanism of energetic material particles revealed by atomistic simulations

Plastic-bonded explosives derive their performance and safety in part from the mesoscale mechanics of particle contacts formed during pressing. Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of cyclotrimethylene trinitramine particle assemblies, this study examines compaction, heating, and post-unloading retained sta...

Hot Deformation Behavior of AA3102 Aluminum Alloy: Constitutive Modeling, Microstructural Evolution and Numerical Simulation

This study systematically investigates the hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of AA3102 aluminum alloy through isothermal uniaxial compression tests conducted at 400–550 °C and strain rates of 0.01–10 s−1. Previous studies on 3xxx-series Al–Mn alloys have mainly considered temperature and strain-rat...

Hot Deformation Behavior and Microstructure Evolution of a Novel Near-α Titanium Alloy with Initial Lamellar Microstructure During Hot Compression

The hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a novel near-α Ti65 titanium alloy with an initial lamellar microstructure were investigated by isothermal compression. Compression tests were conducted at 950–1010 °C in the α + β phase region and 1050–1110 °C in the β phase region, with strain rates of 0.01...

Investigation of Fracture Behavior in an Ultra-Ductile FCC Single-Crystal Alloy

The tensile deformation behavior of a single-crystalline multi-principal alloy system was systematically investigated at room temperature along three crystallographic orientations [111], [110], and [100] to elucidate the orientation dependence of the fracture surface behavior. Previous studies demonstrated that the ini...
