Abstract
The serrated plastic flow of L12 Ni3 (Si,Ti) alloys at intermediate temperature was investigated by tensile tests in terms of the effects of temperature, strain rate, composition, and microstructure. Serrated plastic flow was most strongly observed at 473 K and at a strain rate of 1.6 × 10–4 s–1. Correspondingly, the maximum stress amplitude and the lowest (negative) strain-rate sensitivity were observed at 473 K. Serrated plastic flow took place irrespective of boron doping and was more significant in a fine-grained Ni3 (Si,Ti) alloy. The static aging at 473 K resulted in reduced flow stress. The activation energy for serrated plastic flow was estimated to be about 57 kJ mol–1, suggestive of being smaller than that for lattice diffusion of solutes. The serrated plastic flow behavior of Ni3 (Si,Ti) alloys was compared with that of L12 Co3Ti alloys, and is qualitatively explained on the basis of the dynamics of solutes in the core of a dissociated screw dislocation.
