The number of the scale levels involved in the consideration are due to the study aims and objectives and real mechanisms of the inelastic deformation.
The paper investigates the two-level model of the inelastic deformation: a meso-level element is an individual crystallite (grain or phase), a macro-level element is a representative volume of the polycrystal sufficient for statistical averaging of the crystallites set.
According to this hypothesis, the gradient of the displacement velocity for each crystallite coincides with the gradient velocity of the macrolevel : where N is the number of crystallites within the representative volume.
Here o is the tensor of the actual grain crystallographic coordinate system orientation with respect to the fixed laboratory coordinate system; 7 is the viscoplastic relation for the shear rates of k-th slip system, - the shear stress of k-th slip system, ΔG is the activation energy of the dislocation slip; 8 is the relation for temperature rate.

Results and discussion
Cast steel solution heat treated in water features a two-phase structure with austenite grains distributed in the ferritic matrix.
The microstructure (a) and diffraction pattern (b) of the investigated cast steel after the annealing 800°C/10h It shall be emphasized that ferrite decomposition as a result of heat treatment proceeds unevenly in the grains volume and starts in boundary areas of primary δ-ferrite grains, what is illustrated in Fig. 3.
Higher temperature causes origination of smaller number of nuclei and higher diffusion rate favors higher enrichment with chromium and molybdenum.
After annealing at 700°C the σ-phase featured the highest dispersion, proven by: the highest number of particles Li=0.183µm-2, and their smallest average area A=3.2µm2.
The decrease in particles number at 900°C as against 800°C (Tab. 2) is determined by a significant decline in σ-phase volume fraction and not by reduced dispersion.

The number of closed pore in the metal foam produced were increased with the increasing of SS316L composition.
The transition from SS316L particle to grain occurs when the particles sinter-bond, forming a structure consisting of many grains.
Almost all of the micropores were found at the grain boundaries.
Grain boundaries Figure 6.
However, the number of closed pore in the microstructure should be minimized.

It is caused by the precipitation of the chromium rich carbide such as Cr23C6 along the grain boundaries and lead to chromium depleted zones at the grain boundaries.
It is again due to the grain boundaries attack and chromium precipitation in specimens that undergo sensitization.
During the carbide precipitation, interstitial carbon diffuses rapidly to the grain boundaries.
Slower diffusion rate of the chromium results in the chromium depleted zones at the grain boundaries.
General corrosion with no grain boundary corrosion or cracking can be seen for the solution without H2SO4.

To ensure high and reliable mechanical properties of WC-Co cermets, the WC grain size must be fine and uniform distribution [3].
In this study, the specimens with a 2-3 μm grain size are designated as “G5” hereafter, and the specimens with a 0.5 μm grain size will be designated as “F12”.
In addition, compared with the G5 and F12 specimens, the smaller grain sizes possess a greater area fraction of grain boundaries along the line of the mobile dislocations.
Therefore, the number of dislocation tangles was greater, which strengthened the hardness.
The fine grain size cannot easily generate the liquid phase β-Co (WC) gathering phenomenon.

Indeed, matters of technique and associated statistics are also an issue for the basic measurement of grain size.
EBSD allows grain sizes to be defined in many ways, especially in part-recrystallised or intercritically-rolled material.
A sufficiently large area of examination to match that of a standard optical assessment is still time-consuming, but no one set of conditions or definition of a grain reliably reproduces the optical grain size.
The pilot and laboratory data are built up on wider composition and processing ranges than is possible from production, assisting the establishment of tendencies which would be much harder to spot from the tightly-grouped pockets of mill data, albeit of much higher numbers of rollings.

To reveal the alpha grain structure on the joint surface, an etching process was performed using a 2% Nital solution.
At higher temperatures, microhardness increased, indicating potential diffusion and recrystallization of zinc grain structures, resulting in finer grains upon rapid cooling.
The slow approach to the eutectic point of pure zinc solid at 60°C facilitated potential diffusion or recrystallization of zinc grain structures, resulting in finer grains during fast air cooling.

Apart from the requirement of heat resistance, bond of carbide should also meet other requirements for the appropriate level of cobalt bond properties, including:
∙good wetting properties of carbide grains;
∙low carbide-forming ability;
∙sufficientductilityproperty.
The technology allows: • effectively inhibiting coagulation of grains at sintering temperatures; • increasing density and uniformity of carbide components in terms of replaceable multifaceted insert (RMI); • ensure uniformity of carbide grains (WC, TiC, TaC) in size and shape [1,2,11].
It is also very important that rhenium retains a high level of properties at elevated temperatures and meets the number of requirements to alloying elements it does not form stable carbides, and, when interacting with cobalt, it forms a continuous series of solid solutions.

In order to facilitate the description, the joint is divided into three zones, as shown in Fig. 3, where the joint was composed of non-isothermally solidified zone(region Ⅰ), isothermally solidified zone(region Ⅱ) and diffusion affected zone (region Ⅲ).

Fig. 4 Microstructure of joint in different bonding temperature, a 950℃, b 1000℃, c 1050℃
For isothermally solidified zone, with the increase of bonding temperature, the width of region Ⅱ increased from about 10μm to about 80μm and finally to about 110μm when the bonding temperature is 1050℃, the microstructure of region Ⅱchanged from large irregular white grains (Ti(Cu,Al)2) to solid solution in the shape of a crack (Nb(Cu,Al)) in the white matrix, And the width of region Ⅰ decreased from about 69μm to about 23μm and finally disappeared when the bonding temperature is 1050℃, the microstructure of region Ⅰ changed from of gray and white solid solution of obvious grain boundary (AlNb2) to black flocculus
It can clearly reveals that with the increase of bonding temperature, the microstructure of base metal changed from a large number of columnar grains (B2 and O phase) to many formation of recrystallization grains( β and small number of α2 ) in the base metal when the bonding temperature is 1000℃, and there is many dendrites formed in the base metal.
With the bonding temperature increase, the boundary between region Ⅱ and region Ⅱ became fuzzy,and the microstructure of region Ⅲ changed from light black flocculus to the diffusion of light black flocculus which has more recrystallization grains when the bonding temperature is 1000℃, and more dendrites were formed when the bonding temperature is 1050℃.

And most secondary phases in the joint are located in the middle region of the joint, only a small number of secondary phases appeared in the isothermally solidified zone in the shape of a crack, and the proportion of secondary phases in the joint is 20.2%.
