SOLID SOLUTION STRENGTHENINGAND GRAIN SIZE REFINEMENT
Why are alloys stronger than the base metal alone?
What is the advantage of having a fine-grained crystalline structure?

EXAMPLE
Assume that a metal has a yield stress of 20 ksi if the grain size is 10-4 mm, and 32 ksi if the grain size is 10-6 mm. What will be the yield stress if the grain size was 10-5 mm, all other things being equal?

ANOTHER BLOCKER: OTHER DISLOCATIONS Recall that as plastic deformation proceeds the
density of dislocations increases by several orders of magnitude.
So dislocations block each other. This accounts for the strengthening that occurs during plastic deformation. (Done on purpose, we call it cold work.

WHAT ABOUT DUCTILITY?
A trade off is taking place. As we block dislocations, and the material gets stronger, we lose the capacity for plastic deformation. In other words, the ductility is decreased.
AS WE BLOCK DISLOCATIONS, STRENGTH
INCREASES AND DUCTILITY DECREASES. Exception: Fine grain size gives strength
without significant decrease in ductility.
FOR COLD WORK AND ANNEALINGBE ABLE TO:
Calculate %cold work from change in cross-sectional geometry
Describe the microstructural and property changes during Recovery, Recrystallization and Grain Growth, and the relationship between microstructure and properties
COLD WORK
In cold work, metals are strengthened at the expense of ductility.
Cold refers to the fact that the material is plastically deformed at a temperature below it “recrystallization” temperature. (More on this later.)
Also called strain hardening.
Rolling: very common CWA0

HOW COLD WORK IS MEASURED
It is measured as the percentage in area reduction during the deformation process.

This is calculated in the same way that %RA ductility is calculated. BUT, the CW produced in some manufacturing process, not the tension test.

4 STRATEGIES FOR STRENGTHENING: 4: COLD WORK (%CW)• Room temperature deformation.• Common forming operations change the cross sectional area:

• Ti alloy after cold working:
• Dislocations entangle with one another during cold work.• Dislocation motion becomes more difficult.

Heat treatment reduces density 105-106 mm-2

IMPACT OF COLD WORK
Adapted from Fig. 7.20, Callister 7e.
• Yield strength (y) increases.
• Tensile strength (TS) increases.
• Ductility (%EL or %AR) decreases.

WHY DO COLD WORK…
It’s about several issues…1. Strengthening the manufactured part2. Shaping the manufactured part3. Cold Work can be used to impart a nice surface
finish Often we can’t complete the shaping process
with just one step of cold work. There just isn’t enough ductility in the metal. Plus, we need to get the material back to a state of 0% CW. (While keeping the new shape, of course!)
How might we do that? First, think of what we have.
WHAT COLD WORKED METAL IS LIKE
Dislocation density very high. Residual stresses are very commonly
encountered. The original grain structure is still in
existence. But the grains have been stretched in the direction of the deformation.
Electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity may be reduced.
The state of internal energy is high. So what can be done to diminish these
effects?
ANNEALING
Annealing – a thermal process – we heat the cold worked metal. BUT WE DO NOT MELT IT
Three phenomena are observed. Here is the order in which they are known to happen.
1. Recovery. Enough energy is supplied so that dislocations can spontaneously move to lower residual stresses.
2. Recrystallization. In the middle of the old, elongated grains, new small equi-axed grains begin to form, until we have a completely new grain structure.
3. Grain growth. If more heat is supplied over time the grains grow, smaller ones eaten by bigger ones.

HERE’S HOW THE PROPERTIES CHANGE AS CHANGE ANNEALING TEMPERATURE
Metal is Brass. This is based on an annealing time of 1 hour.
Similar looking plots could be produced for a constant temperature with time as the independent variable.

“LAWS” OF RECRYSTALLIZATION
Thermally activated. Critical temperature. Critical deformation. Deformation affects the critical temperature. Initial grain size affects the critical
temperature. Grain boundaries are good sites for nuclei to form.
RECRYSTALLIZATION TEMPEPATURE
Depends on Alloy Content. Lower for pure metals.
Depends on the amount of previous CW.
Metal is iron (Fe). Note that for less than about 5% CW, there will be no recrystallization.
Final note: Recrystallization is very useful in grain size control.
REVIEW OF THREE STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS
1. Solute Atoms. (Alloying)2. Grain boundaries. (Grain boundary
refinement)3. Dislocations. (Cold Work, i.e. plastic
deformation done on purpose.
THERE ARE OTHER STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS WHICH WE WILL ALSO TALK ABOUT.
