摘要

The presentation will share some challenging opinions about a few fundamental issues of physical metallurgy, including compatibility and scale law of deformation and the effect of solute elements on grain boundary migration (GBM).

Von Mises criterion that 5 independent slip systems are required to operate simultaneously in a grain for compatible deformation is unequivocally accepted since its publication in 1928. However, there is no single piece of experimental evidence to prove it and it can be shown that the criterion has critical flaws. It is proposed that 3 independent slip systems are essential and sufficient for compatible deformation. Accordingly, discussions will be made on the ductility of magnesium.

The mechanical response of crystalline materials depends on grain size. Hall-Petch relation holds for most engineering metals and alloys with a grain size from submicron to millimetres. At finer scales, however, inverse Hall-Petch relation takes place. The transition between these two scale laws is believed to occur when the grain size is down to 10nm or so. It is our opinion that deformation conditions (T, ), instead of absolute grain size, determine the transition. A general scale law of deformation is proposed based on the characterization of steady state deformation. The operation of grain boundary dislocations is key in explaining the inverse Hall-Petch relation.

GBM is substantially controlled by solute atoms and “solute drag theory”, which is based on the assumption of solute “lag behind” upon migration, has been widely accepted to account for the solute effect on GBM. However, it can be shown that in the linear range of irreversible thermos-dynamics, solute atoms segregated in a grain boundary will not “lag behind” when the boundary migrates. A novel “solute trap” model is proposed, in which the solute effect on GBM is attributed to the decrease in boundary energy as a result of boundary segregation. The predictions of the model are principally in agreement with experimental results.
