指出:贝氏体铁素体在晶界形核的新观察验证了形核的一般规律。
依据试验观察,理论计算得贝氏体临界晶核尺寸和形核功为:*a =16.7nm ;*b =25nm ,*G ∆=270J ·mol-1,此值合理。
奥氏体中贫碳区的存在是普遍事实,试验也测得贝氏体相变孕育期内形成了贫碳区;不能将Spinodal Decomposition 与奥氏体中形成贫碳区和富碳区混为一谈。
涨落是相变的契机,在孕育期内奥氏体中必由于涨落而形成贫碳区。
阐述了非协同热激活跃迁形核机制。
大量TTT 图分析和实测均表明贝氏体铁素体形核-长大不可能以扩散方式进行。
在这些问题上徐祖耀院士的观点,我们不能苟同。

It is pointed out that the new experimental observation of the bainite ferrite nucleation at the grain boundary validates the general rule of nucleation. According to the experimental observation, the calculated values of the critical crystal nucleus dimension and the critical nucleus nucleation energy o f the bainite ferrite, which are as follows, a* =16.7 nm, b=25 nm and 270 J•mol -1, are reasonable. The existence of carbon depleted region in austenite is a common fact. Furthermore, the formation of the carbon depleted region in the incubation period of bainite transformation has been measured. Spinodal decomposition and the formation of rich and poor carbon areas in austenite cannot be confused with each other. The incoordinate heat activation transition mechanism of bainite transformation is set forth. The analysis of lots of TTT diagrams and the actual measured results show that the nucleation and growth of bainite ferrite cannot be by means of diffusion. We cannot agree with academician XU Zu-yao’s viewpoints about above issues.Key words: bainite ferrite; grain boundary nucleation; diffusion; shear; heat activation transition关于贝氏体相变的形核-长大机制一直是切变学派和扩散学派论争的核心问题。

The migration of90° 112 planar tilt symmetrical and asymmetrical GB in specially grown Bi-bicrystals driven by magnetic force and the dependence of GB mobility on temperature,driving force and the direction of motion are addressed.The motion of low-and high angle planar tilt 112 and 111 GBs moved by shear stresses and the peculiarities of such a motion are considered. In particular,the sharp transition from low-to high-angle boundaries was observed.In practice the motion of a straight GB is the exception rather than the rule.The shape of a moving GB is a source of new and usefulfindings concerning GB migration. The experimentally derived shape of a GB in Al-bicrystals was compared with theoretical calculations in the Lu¨cke–Detert approximation.The experimental and theoretical results of a motion of grain boundary systems with triple junctions are presented.Their impact on the kinetics of microstructure evolution and,in particular,on Von Neumann–Mullins relation is outlined.©2001Elsevier Science B.V.All rights reserved./locate/msea1.Magnetically driven grain boundary motionA grain boundary(GB)migration occurs when the boundary displacement leads to the reduction of a total energy of the system.There are two ways by which this may be accomplished.Thefirst uses free energy of the GB itself,the other utilizes a free energy difference of the adjacent grains.The most frequently used method is the displacement of a curved GB[1–4].However,the obtained mobilities can,therefore,not be related to a specific GB structure,while by using the second type of driving force a plane boundary can be forced to move.A bicrystal with grains that have some orientation dependent property like elastic constants or magnetic susceptibility can be utilized in this case.This driving force does not depend on boundary properties.Such conditions,in particular,can be obtained by the action of a magneticfield on a bicrystal of a material with anisotropic magnetic susceptibility[3,4].The origin of the driving force for grain boundary migration in a magnetically anisotropic material was considered by Mullins[5].The expression for the driv-ing force,as applied to bismuth,reads P=v0D2H2(cos2[1−cos2[2)(1)where H is the magneticfield strength,D is the differ-ence of the susceptibilities parallel and perpendicular to the trigonal axis,[1and[2are the angles between the magneticfield and the trigonal axes in both grains of the Bi-bicrystal.Three efforts were made in the past to utilize a magneticfield for the study of GB kinetics in Bi by Goetz,Mullins and Fraser[6,7],however,no specific boundary motion was investigated.Our experiments were carried out on bicrystals of high purity(99.999%)bismuth[8,9].Symmetrical and asymmetrical( =45°)pure tilt boundaries with90° 112 misorientation were examined(Fig.1,the devia-tion of asymmetrical GB from symmetrical position equals ).The experiments were carried out using the high magneticfield facilities of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee,FL,USA.A resistive, steady-state20-T bitter magnet with50-mm bore di-ameter was used,and afield strength between0.80×107and1.59×107A m−1was applied.The magnetic field was imposed on the samples at different tempera-tures ranging from210to260°C.*Corresponding author.Tel.:+7-95-9132324;fax:+7-64-412654.E-mail address:shvind@issp.ac.ru(L.S.Shvindlerman).0921-5093/01/$-see front matter©2001Elsevier Science B.V.All rights reserved.

–trigonal axis in the growing grain is perpendicular to the growth direction.motion,since the mobility of a grain boundary iscommonly conceived as not dependent on its directionof motion.2.Influence of external shear stresses on grainboundary migrationA method to activate and investigate the migration ofplanar,symmetrical tilt boundaries in aluminum bicrys-tals under the influence of an external shear stress wasintroduced.It was shown that low-as well as high-an-gle boundaries could be moved by this shear stress.From the activation parameters for grain boundarymigration,the transition from low-to high-angleboundaries can be determined.The migration kineticswere compared with results on curved boundaries,andit was shown that the kinetics of stress induced motionwere different from the migration kinetics of curvaturedriven boundaries.In1952,Washburn,Parker et al.[10,11]investigatedplanar low-angle boundaries in Zn under the influenceof an external shear stress and observed the motionwith polarized light in an optical microscope.Thecurrent study was aimed at probing the effect of amechanical,shear stressfield on planar low-and high-angle boundaries[12].For the investigations bicrystals of different purities(1and7.7ppm impurity content)with 112 and 111 tilt grain boundaries with misorientation angles in a range from4to32°were grown.The grainboundary motion was measured in situ with an X-rayinterface continuous tracking device(XICTD).Symmetrical low angle tilt boundaries consist of peri-odic arrangements of a single sets of edge dislocations.An external shear stress perpendicular to the boundaryplane will cause a force on each dislocation and insummary a driving force on the boundary.The sampleswere exposed to a shear stress ranging from10−1to 10−3MPa.In aluminum(purity99.999%)the yield stress is15–20MPa,hence the applied shear stress is definitely in the elastic range.High angle symmetrical tilt boundaries also can be formally described as an arrangement of a single set of edge dislocations except that the dislocation cores over-lap and the identity of the dislocations gets lost in the relaxed boundary structure.First of all we want to show that irrespective of the magnitude of the angle of rotation,grain boundaries can be moved under the action of the applied shear stress.Fig.1shows the dependence of the grain boundary velocity on the applied mechanical shear stress for two different 112 -tilt boundaries.From Fig.5we can see that obviously,both the low-and the high-angle grain boundary move under the influence of the shear stress and the grain boundary velocity changes in proportion to the stress in both cases. Fig.6shows the dependence of the activation en-thalpy on misorientation angle for different tilt axes and impurity content.For low angle grain boundaries wefind a constant activation enthalpy of D H=1.28eV and for high angle grain boundaries D H=0.85eV.The transition from low-to high-angle grain boundaries is Fig.5.Dependency of the grain boundary velocity on the external shear stress for two symmetrical 112 tilt boundaries.L .S .Sh 6indlerman ,G .Gottstein /Materials Science and Engineering A 302(2001)141–150144Fig.6.Activation enthalpy vs.misorientation angle for 112 and 111 tilt boundaries with different impurity content.see a strong dependency of the activation enthalpy on the misorientation angle,i.e.on the grain boundary structure.There is also a clear difference between the activation enthalpies for the stress induced motion of the planar high angle grain boundaries and the curva-ture driven migration of the curved high angle grain boundaries.Obviously,a dislocation in a high angle grain boundary does not relax completely its strain field and correspondingly,a biased elastic energy density induced by an applied shear stress will induce a force on all dislocations that comprise the grain boundary.The results prove that grain boundaries can be driven by an applied shear stress irrespective whether low-or high-angle boundaries.Obviously,the motion of the grain boundary is caused by the movement of the dislocations,which compose the grain boundary.The activation enthalpy for the low angle grain boundaries amounts to D H =1.28eV and is comparable with the activation enthalpy of bulk self-diffusion in aluminum.For the high angle grain boundaries we found an activation enthalpy of D H =0.85eV,which is compara-ble to the activation enthalpy for grain boundary diffu-sion in aluminum.The motion of an edge dislocation in a fcc crystal in reaction to an applied shear stress ought to be purely mechanical and not thermally activated.Obviously,the observed grain boundary motion is a thermally acti-vated process controlled by diffusion.To understand this,one has to recognize first that grain boundary motion is a drift motion since it experiences a driving force that is smaller compared with thermal energy.Moreover,real boundaries are never perfect symmetri-cal tilt boundaries but always contain structural dislo-cations of other Burgers vectors.These dislocations have to be displaced by nonconservative motion to make the entire boundary migrate.The climb process requires diffusion,which can only be volume diffusion for low angle grain boundaries but grain boundary diffusion for high angle grain boundaries according to the observed activation enthalpies.The different behavior of curvature driven grain boundaries is not due to the curvature of the boundaries rather than due to a different effect of the respective driving force.While an applied shear stress couples with the dislocation content of the boundary in a curved grain boundary each individual atom experi-ences a drift pressure to move in order to reduce curvature.3.Shape of the moving grain boundariesThe principal parameter which controls the motion of a grain boundary is the grain boundary mobility.In practically all relevant cases the motion of a straightFig.7.Dependency of the activation enthalpy on misorientation angle for curvature driven and planar 111 grain boundaries,and planar 112 grain boundaries (open symbols [14];filled [12]).revealed by a conspicuous step of the activation en-thalpy at a misorientation angle of 13.6°.There exists no evidence,that the deviations from the activation enthalpy levels for low-and high-angle boundaries show a dependence of the activation en-thalpy on grain boundary structure.From Fig.6we conclude that 112 -and 111 -tilt boundaries move with the same activation enthalpies when exposed to a mechanical stress.This holds for low angle as well as for high angle symmetrical tilt boundaries.Previous experiments on curvature driven 111 tilt boundaries in aluminum bicrystals showed a strong misorientation dependence of the activation enthalpies [13].For comparison,we conducted curvature driven boundary migration experiments on 111 tilt boundaries.The driving force was a constant capillary force,p =|/a where a is the width of the shrinking grain (quarter-loop technique).The typical values of a driving force in both types of our experiments are nearly the same,p 103J m −3.In Fig.7the dependence of the activation enthalpy on the misorientation angle for the curved and the planar grain boundaries is shown.For the curvature driven grain boundaries our results are in good agree-ment with previous experimental data [14]and one canL .S .Sh 6indlerman ,G .Gottstein /Materials Science and Engineering A 302(2001)141–150145grain boundary is the exception rather than the rule.That is why the shape of a moving grain boundary is of interest and it will be shown that the grain boundary shape is a source of new interesting and useful findings of grain boundary motion,for the interaction of a moving grain boundary with mobile particles,in partic-ular.The experimentally derived shape of grain boundary ‘quarter-loop’[15]in Al-bicrystals of differ-ent purity was compared with theoretical calculations in the Lu ¨cke–Detert approximation.The shape of a moving GB quarter-loop was

)05x 5x*a 2−b Ly2+b L arc cos(e b L ln(sin [)−x*((b L /b F )−1)−x /b L)x ]x*(2)where b L is:b L =b F (arc cos(sin [/e x*/b F +[−(y /2)−a /2))arc cos(sin [/e x*/b F )−(y /2)(3)The parameters in Eq.(2)are the width of the shrinking grain a /2,the angle [of the grain boundary with the free surfaces in the triple junction,the critical point x *,and b F and b L :b L =m L |/V ;b F =m F |/V ,where m L and m F are the GB mobilities for ‘loaded’and ‘free’GB,respectively,|is GB surface tension,V is a velocity of a quarter-loop.The first two parameters can be measured directly in the experiment.The latter two have to be chosen in an approximate way to fit the experimentally derived grain boundary shape.The point x *is the point of intersection ‘free’and ‘loaded’segments of the GB.The value m L /m F is a measure for how drastic the change between the ‘free’and the ‘loaded’part in the point of intersection will be.Corresponding experi-ments were carried out on aluminum bicrystals with a 40.5° 111 tilt boundary.The samples differed by the amount of dissolved impurities.Bicrystals with a total impurity content of 0.4,1.0,3.6,4.9and 7.7ppm were studied.The investigation proves that the influence of the impurity atoms on grain boundary properties and behavior is rather strong even in very pure materials.The experimentally measured shape of a moving grain boundary (Al with 1.0ppm impurities)and the shape calculated according to equation which does not take into consideration impurity drag,are compared in Fig.8.The large discrepancy is obvious and apparently due to the neglect of boundary–impurity interactions.How-ever,with m L and m F determined as explained above the measured boundary shape can be successfully fitted by Eq.(2))using only x *as a free fit parameter (Fig.9).The same holds for the reversed-capillary technique.Any attempt to fit the shape by assuming a freely moving boundary fails,but good agreement between experiment and theory can be observed when impurity drag and thus,different mobilities are taken into ac-count (Fig.10)[16].As mentioned above,the shape of a moving grain boundary is a new source of information on grain boundary migration.One example is given in Fig.11,where the value of the critical distance x *,normalized by the driving force (in terms of the quarter-loop width a )is plotted versus the impurity content.In accordance with the Lu ¨cke–Detert theory the critical velocity 6*(and rigidly bound to it the position of the critical pointparison between experimental data (solid line)and calcu-lated shape (dotted line)disregarding segregation.Fig.9.Experimentally observed (solid line)and calculated (Eq.(3),dotted line)grain boundary shape for Al with an impurity content of (a)1.0;(b)3.6ppm (quarter-loop

the balance between the maximum force of interaction of the impu-rity atoms with the boundary and the force,which is imposed by the energy dissipation caused by boundary motion across the matrix.The difference of the impu-rity drag for grain boundaries in samples with different amount of impurities is caused by the adsorption of impurities at the grain boundary.According to theory, the velocity should decrease proportionally to the in-verse of the concentration of adsorbed atoms.There-fore x*should increase with decreasing impurity content,as observed qualitatively(Fig.11)[15].How-ever,a linear relation between the inverse of the impu-rity concentration and6*,i.e.x*,is not observed over the whole concentration range,which indicates a more complicated interaction of adsorbed atoms with the grain boundary.In such a case,x*/a should increase more strongly with decreasing impurity content than it does linearly.This tendency is indeed observed (Fig.11).4.Dragging effect of triple junction on grain boundary motionIn spite of the fact that a line(or column)of intersec-tion of three boundaries constitutes a system with spe-cific thermodynamic properties was realized more than 100years ago(by Gibbs),the kinetic properties of this subject,in particular the mobility of triple junctions, and their influence on grain growth and relevant pro-cesses were ignored up to now.Although the number of triple junctions in polycrystals is comparable in magni-tude with the number of boundaries,all peculiarities in the behavior of polycrystals during grain growth were solely attributed to the motion of grain boundaries so far.It was tacitly assumed in theoretical approaches,L.S.Sh6indlerman,G.Gottstein/Materials Science and Engineering A302(2001)141–150147 computer simulations and interpretation of experimen-tal results that triple junctions do not disturb grainboundary motion and that their role in grain growth isreduced to preserve the thermodynamically prescribedequilibrium angles at the lines(or the points for2-Dsystems)where boundaries meet.The most prominentexample of how this assumption determines the funda-mental concepts of grain structure evolution gives theVon Neumann–Mullins relation[17,18].No doubt this relation forms the basis for practicallyall theoretical and experimental investigations as well ascomputer simulations of microstructure evolution in2-D polycrystals in the course of grain growth.Thisrelation is based on three essential assumptions,namely,(i)all grain boundaries possess equal mobilitiesand surface tensions,irrespective of their misorientationand crystallographic orientation of the boundaries;(ii)the mobility of a grain boundary is independent of itsvelocity;(iii)the third assumption relates directly to thetriple junctions,namely,they do not affect grainboundary motion;therefore,the contact angles at triplejunctions are in equilibrium and,due to thefirst as-sumption,are equal to120°.As it was shown in[17,18],for2-D grain,the rate ofchange of the grain area S can be expressed byd S d t =−A b7d (4)where A b=m b|;m b being the grain boundary mobility, |is the grain boundary surface tension.If the grain were bordered by a smooth line,the integral in Eq.(4)would equal2y.However,owing to the discontinuous angular change at every triple junc-tion,the angular interval D =y/3is subtracted from the total value of2y for each triple junction. Consequently,d S d t =−A b2y−n y3=A b y3(n−6)(5)where n is the number of triple junctions for each respective grain,i.e.the topological class of the grain. Thus,the rate of area change is independent of the shape of the boundaries and determined by the topo-logical class n only.Grains with n\6will grow and those with n B6will disappear[18].The existence of triple junctions drastically affects the kinetics of grain growth.To discuss this problem quan-titatively the mobility of a triple junction should be measured.However,the steady-state motion of a grain boundary system with a triple junction is only possible in a very narrow class of geometrical configurations. Two of these special boundary systems were investi-gated in[19–21]under three main assumptions.Two of them comply with the assumptions(1)and(2)of the Von Neumann–Mullins consideration,while the third one is determined by Eq.(2):the normal GB displace-ment rate6is proportional to the GB curvature K. As shown in[19],the model grain boundary system (Fig.12)can move steadily,and the analysis of its motion permits us to understand the influence of the finite mobility of a triple junction on the migration of GBs.The considered grain boundary system(Fig.12)con-sists of three grain boundaries,two of them are curved with a common triple junction.During steady-state motion of the system the velocity V parallel to the x-axis(Fig.12)is related to the rate of normal displace-ment6:6=V cos =V y%[1+(y%)2]1/2(6)where y(x)is the shape of the positive part(upper part in Fig.12)of the curved boundary.Due to the mirror symmetry of the problem relative to the x-axis,the shape of the lower part boundary is the negative equivalent.Then the equation for the steady-state shape of the moving grain boundaryy¦=−Vm by%(1+(y%)2)(7)Eq.(7),restricted by three boundary conditions,per-mits us tofind the desired shape y(x)and the velocity V of the moving grain boundary(Fig.12)y(0)=0y( )=a2y%(0)=tan[(8) The meaning of the length a and the angle[is clear from Fig.12.A driving force|(2cos[−1)acts on the triple junction from the curved boundaries.Introducing the mobility of the triple junction m Tj,its velocity reads V Tj=m Tj|(2cos[−1)(9) Due to the fact that the driving force acting on the grain boundary is a pressure and the driving force onFig.12.Configuration of grain boundaries at a triple junction during steady-state motion for n B6.L .S .Sh 6indlerman ,G .Gottstein /Materials Science and Engineering A 302(2001)141–150148Fig.13.Angle [as a function of \,(a)for n B 6(Eq.(12));(b)for n \6(Eq.(18)).x =a 2[c 1=ln(sin [)c 2=−y2−[(10)The velocity V of steady-state motion of the system is V =2[m b |a(11)The steady-state value for the angle [can be found from the equation.2[2cos [−1=m Tj am b =\(12)If a triple junction is mobile and does not drag grain boundary motion,the criterion \ and [ y /3,i.e.the equilibrium angular value at a triple junction in the uniform grain boundary model.In contrast,how-ever,when the mobility of the triple junction is rela-tively low (strictly speaking,when m Tj a m b )then [ 0(Fig.13).It should be stressed that the angle [is strictly defined by the dimensionless criterion \,which,in turn,is a function of not only the ratio of triple junction and grain boundary mobility,but of the grain size as well.Experimental investigations [20]were based on the considered grain boundary system (Fig.12).It was shown that triple junctions do possess a finite mobility.It was found that the vertex angle [at the triple junction could deviate distinctly from the equilibrium value,when a low mobility of the triple junction hin-ders the motion of the grain boundaries.In fact,a transition from triple junction kinetics to grain boundary kinetics was observed (Figs.14and 15).For grains with topological class greater than six let us consider the steady-state motion of a grain boundary system shown in Fig.16with the same set of assump-tions applied to the previous boundary system,namely,uniform grain boundary properties and quasi-two-di-mensionality [21,22].The steady-state motion of this system is determined by the system of Eqs.(7)and (8)only with different boundary and initial conditions y %(0)= y %(x 0)=tan [y (0)=0(13)The velocity of the triple junction motion can be expressed as (Fig.3)V Tj =m Tj |(1−2cos [)(14)Like in the previous case,Eqs.(5)and (13)define the considered problem completely.Fig.14.The angles in the tip of the tricrystal half-loop at differenttemperatures.(Zn tricrystal,misorientation angles of the tilt grain boundaries are 46° 1011 ,43° 1011 and 3°).Fig.15.The temperature dependence of the criterion \of the investigated Zn tricrystal.the triple junction is a force,the dimensions of grain boundary and triple junction mobility are different,so that their ratio m b /m Tj has the dimension of a length.For the configuration in Fig.12,Eqs.(7)and (8)define the problem completely.The solution can be expressed as [19]:y (x )=x arc cos(e−x /x +c 1)+c 2。

Formation of Grain Boundary a in b Ti Alloys:Its Rolein Deformation and Fracture Behavior of These Alloys JOHN W.FOLTZ,BRIAN WELK,PETER C.COLLINS,HAMISH L.FRASER,and JAMES C.WILLIAMSBeta-Ti alloys contain sufficient concentrations of b stabilizing alloy additions to permitretention of the metastable b phase after cooling to room temperature.Decomposition of themetastable b phase results in the formation of several possible phases,at least two of which aremetastable.Concurrently,equilibrium a phase often formsfirst by heterogeneous nucleation atthe a grain boundaries with an accompanying precipitate free zone observed adjacent to thegrain boundary a.The grain boundary regions are softer than the precipitation hardenedmatrix.As a consequence,fracture follows the prior b grain boundaries,especially in high-strength conditions.This fracture mode results in low tensile ductility and/or fracture toughness.This article will describe methods of minimizing or eliminating grain boundary a formation byusing metastable transition precipitates to nucleate a more rapidly.The effects on fracturebehavior also will be described.DOI:10.1007/s11661-010-0322-3ÓThe Minerals,Metals&Materials Society and ASM International2010I.INTRODUCTIONB ETA Ti alloys are commonly used in two micro-structural conditions:fully lamellar and bimodal.In the bimodal condition,the material is hot worked in the a+b phasefield to minimize grain boundary a(GBA) through recrystallization of both the a and b phases.The bimodal condition is used for applications that require higher strength.The combinations of strength and ductility that can be achieved in these alloys varies widely,which allows tailoring of properties for specific applications.In the fully lamellar conditions,it is well known that continuous layers of a phase at prior beta grain boundaries can be deleterious to mechanical properties in both a+b and b classes of titanium alloys.[1–4]Nucleation of the a phase in the fully lamellar microstructure typically begins at the prior b grain boundaries.[5]Sympathetic nucleation and growth of Widmansta tten a from the grain boundary then popu-lates the interior of the grain with this phase.However, population of the b grain interiors with a phase precipitates can occur by other mechanisms,as others have discussed.[6–9]For example,in many binary tita-nium alloys,the a phase can nucleate and grow from metastable b phase decomposition products,either x or b¢phases.[6]The operative mechanism strongly depends on the parent b-phase composition.In this case,the number of a–phase nucleation sites can substantially increase,resulting in a general refinement of the micro-structural scale,including a lath size.The creation of alternative nucleation sites through thermal treatments can refine lath size,as well as potentially decrease the thickness and continuity of the typically continuous GBA layers.This article explores a way in which GBA can be reduced or eliminated through controlled use of metastable phases in a particular b-titanium alloy:Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-0.5Fe (Ti-5553).Fractographic observations and mechanical properties of a thermal treatment containing a small amount of GBA also will be discussed.II.EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURETwo bars of Ti-5553were solutionized at50K above the a/b transus,1183K(910°C),step cooled to813K (540°C)and aged for2hours,upquenched to923K (650°C)and aged for2hours,andfinally cooled to room temperature.The thermal treatment was con-ducted in a Gleeble1500thermo-mechanical simulator (Gleeble,Dynamic Systems,Poestenkill,NY)with a vacuum of<10À3Pa.The thermal history of the 89mm99mm99mm bars is shown in Figure1. The heat-treated bars were cut using wire electrodis-charge machining(EDM)and subjected to two series of mechanical tests.In thefirst series of tests,theflat dog-bone-shaped samples were cut and polished to afinish of800grit with silicon carbide papers,then enamel painted with a speckle pattern of black dots on a white background. The40-mm long samples measured approximately 2mm91mm within the gauge section,and3mm9 1mm in the grips.Tensile tests were performed on an Instron ETMT(ETMT;Instron,Norwood,MA)JOHN W.FOLTZ,Graduate

tester in a similar fashion to the work of Peterson et al .,[10]at a displacement rate of 1.17l m/s in the gauge section,with a rate jump after 240seconds to 11.67l m/s (approximately 8910À5s À1and 8910À4s À1,respectively).Strain was measured using digital image correlation with the painted speckle pattern within the gauge length.The second series of tests conducted were four-point bend fatigue tests,similar to those described by Pilchak et al .[4]Following the works of both Pilchak et al .[11]and Zhai et al .,[12]the inner and outer pin spacings were matched to the sample thickness such that a uniform tensile stress was predicted between the inner pins on the tensile face.The fixture includes a spherical bearing to prevent off-axis loading.The top surfaces of the samples were polished to 0.05l m colloidal silica,whereas the sides and corners of the samples were grit blasted to prevent corner crack initiation.The tests were con-ducted at 60Hz at an R value of 0.1,with a maximum tensile stress at the surface equal to 1092MPa.The microstructures of the various samples were characterized by conducting stereological measurements on polished samples made from untested material.Ten images similar to Figure 2were acquired to quantify the microstructure using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM)equipped with a field emission electron gun operating at an accelerating voltage of 10keV,using a backscattered electron detector.Grain size was deter-mined using ASTM Specification E112-96,and other features were quantified using the method described in Reference 13.The measured average value of grain size,mean intercept length,was 76microns (ASTM grain size 4).The calculated a phase fraction was 40.1pct,the average a lath thickness was 0.06microns,and the mean distance between laths was 0.07microns.Post fracture analysis was conducted using a suite of electron microscopes.Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD)scans and fractographic analysis were per-formed using an SEM operating at 25keV.Transmis-sion electron foils were excised from bulk samples using a FEI Helios 600dual beam SEM/FIB (Helios;FEI Company,Hillsboro,OR)operating with an ionpotential of 30keV,to investigate the nature and presence of GBA.Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)analysis was completed using a FEI Tecnai F20(Tecnai;FEI Company).Images were collected using the high-angle annular dark field detec-tor (HAADF)at a camera length of 54mm to observe the morphology and presence of a and b phases using atomic number contrast by elemental partitioning.[14]III.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONThe results of six tensile tests are shown in Table I .Average yield strength of 1214MPa was measured,along with an average ultimate tensile strength of 1302MPa.The average lifetime of the four fatigue tests conducted at a maximum stress equal to 1092MPa,or approximately 90pct of the yield strength,was 22,807cycles.Figure 3shows a grain boundary region as observed in STEM HAADF.Here,it is clear that the presence of GBA is limited and,where present,it is discontinuous.Despite this,some a lamellae seem to have grown from the grain boundary regions toward the graininteriors.Fig.1—Ti-5553solution heat treated at 1183K (910°C)for 5minutes,step cooled to 813K (540°C)and aged for 2hours,then upquenched to 923K (650°C)and aged for 2hours.Fig.2—Backscattered electron image of microstructure.A triple point is shown in the upper left of the image,and no GBA is visible at the SEM resolution.Table I.Mechanical Properties of

the a lamellae do intersect the boundary,there is little GBA formation.Fractographic examination showed a mixed mode of intergranular and transgranular fracture in both failed tensile specimens (Figure 5)and in failed fatigue spec-imens (Figure 6).Surface crack initiation was observed in all fatigue tests,which corresponds to the region of highest maximum bending stress.In regions of inter-granular fracture within the tensile samples,it should be noted that failure occurred by microvoid nucleation andcoalescence along the grain boundaries.The small size of these microvoids suggests that the plastic zone was constrained geometrically to near the grain boundary region.Fatigue crack initiation in a +b and metastable b Ti alloys has been linked with GBA by others.[2,4,15,16]For this reason,it is important to understand how to control the amount of GBA.Figure 3shows how Widmansta t-ten a phase can grow with similar growth directions from a b grain boundary that lacks a significant amount of GBA.In fact,GBA was found in relatively few locations while inspecting the grain boundaries at high magnification;one such area is highlighted Figure 3(b).As shown,this GBA appears as discrete discontinuous precipitates located within the grain boundary,but these are unlike either the lenticular a precipitates that appear to be perpendicular to the grain boundary or the continuous GBA found in other titanium microstruc-tures.The reasons for these differences are the subject of ongoing study.The crack initiation was easily identifiable by the smooth nature of the facet and the chevronmarkingsFig.3—HAADF STEM image of as-heat treated condition of Ti-5553.(a )Widmansta tten a is visible to the right of the grain boundary,despite no continuous layer of GBA.(b )The GBA present is in the form of discreteprecipitates.Fig.4—High-magnification STEM image taken across a grain boundary with a HAADF detector.Although lamellae seem to inter-sect the grain boundary,no continuous layer of GBA ispresent.Fig.5—Fracture surface from one tensile test.Significant amounts of intergranular fractureoccurred.Fig.6—Fracture surface of the crack initiation site in a four-point bending fatigue test.Image was collected with a 70-deg tilt in the vertical direction with respect to the normal of the polished face shown in the upper portion of the image.indicating the direction of crack growth.After SEM inspection of the polished face adjacent to the crack initiation site (Figures 7and 8),it seems that while continuous GBA is minimized,it is not eliminated completely.Grain boundary crack initiation sites have been reported commonly in the literature and are theorized to be caused by differences in the elastic-plastic response between grains.[17–19]These differences,alongwith the stress distributions near the grain boundary versus the grain interior,can cause the plastic zone to be constrained mechanically to near the grain interface.Quantitative tilt fractography was used to calculate the angular deviation between the loading direction and the initiation facet normal,in a similar fashion to other authors.[18,20,21]The measured angle of the facet was 39.97deg with respect to the loading axis,which is in the range of angles observed in many fatigue failures.[4]As discussed by Pilchak et al .,[4]facets that deviate up to 15deg from the maximum shear direction of 45deg contain both large normal and shear forces.Based on theories proposed by others,both of these force com-ponents are necessary to initiate cracks in titanium alloys.[19,22]Because of the size of the alpha precipitates,no crystallographic information could be detected using EBSD from the GBA.Instead,the b -phase orientation information was used to investigate the crystallographic nature of the initiation facet (Figure 8).Using EBSD data and the facet normal,it was calculated that the facet is within the experimental error from a {110}plane on the right grain (Figure 9).[23]The orientation of the left grain seems to be far from any slip planes,unlike the right grain.If the observed GBA on the facet shared a Burgers orientation relationship with the right grain,this could suggest that its basal plane was aligned with the initiation facet.Other researchers have shown that GBA can initiate cracks along the basal plane.[4,22,24]There are two important implications of the grain boundary crack initiation:b -grain boundaries aretheFig.7—Secondary electron image of the polished surface adjacent to fatigue crackinitiation.Fig.8—EBSD map showing one half of the crack initiation site,located at (a ).The initiation site occurred at the surface of the sample,along a grain boundary.A combination of transgranular and intergranular fracture is observed in the image.weakest microstructural feature in this microstructural condition,and GBA can be minimized but is unlikely to be altogether eliminated with aging treatments similar to this study.This observation becomes especially impor-tant in understanding the low ductility values typically obtained in high-strength b alloys in the fully lamellar condition.Tensile ductility remains low in the tested condition despite reduction in GBA.Conventional wisdom is that continuous layers of GBA allow cracks to move through the grain boundary regions with little resistance.How-ever,another underlying mechanism,such as oxygen enrichment at grain boundaries,could also explain this behavior when GBA is reduced or eliminated.Work by Wu et al .[25]has also shown that GBA can be reduced through small alloying additions of carbon.They observed via WDS that in alloys without carbon,higher amounts of oxygen are detectable at the grain boundary than within the grain interiors.In contrast,the oxygen content remains uniform throughout grain interiors and boundaries when carbon is added to the alloy.These carbon-containing alloys maintain ductility,even in high strength conditions,which they believe is related to oxygen content at the grain boundary.[26]This opens carbon additions as an attractive avenue to minimize GBA while improving ductility in deep hard-ened conditions for b titanium alloys.It seems that metastable phases can aid nucleation of a phase in heavily stabilized b titanium alloys.[9,27,28]Thermal treatments that take advantage of uniform,intragranular nucleation sites can create a fine disper-sion of lamellae within the prior beta grain.In principle,the a phase could then be aged at a higher temperature to coarsen the lamellae while minimizing any formation of GBA.The coarsening rates could be reduced,however,by the large solute diffusion lengths necessary.IV.CONCLUSIONS1.Grain boundary a can be deleterious to mechanical properties in b alloys.2.Crack initiation occurred along a grain boundary,and was aligned near a {110}of one grain.3.The facet was aligned for a combination of high shear with normal forces,suggesting that both shear and normal force components are necessary to initi-ate a crack.This finding is consistent with the observations of other authors.4.From fractographic examination,the plastic zone near the initiation site is constrained mechanically to the region encompassing the GBA,possibly be-cause of differences in elastic-plastic response.5.Low ductility is observed still in high-strength con-ditions that lack significant amounts of grain boundary a .ACKNOWLEDGMENTSSupport for this work is gratefully acknowledged from the U.S.Office of Naval Research D3-D
