SPD Processed Materials Mechanical Properties Determination with the Use of Miniature Specimens

Abstract:

The main reason why new technologies and treatment procedure are being developed is to attain special mechanical properties. However, these developments are nowadays done on a small material volume either using some laboratory simulators, applying sever plastic deformation procedures or chemical composition screening for multicomponent alloys development by laser or electron beam melting. In all these application a small volume of the material assessed is available and standard procedures for crucial mechanical properties determinations are not applicable. Thus small size techniques should be applied. There has been extensively used small punch test technique (SPT) for those cases in recent years. This technique is mainly based on the evaluation using correlation between standard and SPT tests for considered material. In cases when insufficient material volume is available, those correlations cannot be established and thus comparative evaluation only can be carried out. This kind of evaluation is insufficient for the contemporary purposes, when full material potential is to be utilized. Therefore, procedures providing results directly comparable with standard specimens are being developed. Fundamental properties are those determined from tensile tests. The current paper is presenting application of developed miniature tensile test specimen method to materials after SPD processes. Quasi static properties determination is shown here for Magnesium and Titanium alloys for ECAP and Rotary Swaging SPD techniques. The results obtained from testing can be used not only for a direct material properties assessment and comparison, but also as input data for FEM codes, significantly increasing the materials considered application potential assessment.
