The Influence of Incoherent Nanoparticles on Thermal Stability of Aluminum Alloys

详细

In this paper, the mathematical simulation is used to study the effect from the size of incoherent nanoparticles on thermal strength of heterophase aluminum alloy in materials with the similar volume fraction of the strengthening phase. It is shown that during the deformation process, the particle size affects the evolution of shear dislocations, prismatic dislocation loops and dislocation dipoles. It is found that if the volume fraction of incoherent particles is low, the behavior of the flow stress curves depends on the particle size. The paper identifies the variation range of scale parameters for thermal stability of dispersion-hardened materials.
