Abstract
ABSTRACTThe influence of strain rates on the indentation size effect (ISE) was explored experimentally. A strong ISE phenomenon on the hardness of Ti–10V–2Fe–3Al (Ti-1023) alloy was found when the peak-load was less than 3500 mN, regardless of the variation of loading rates. However, as indenter strain rates increased, the degree of ISE reduced considerably, which was related to the decrease of the internal indentation length scale ranging from 23.08 to 6.80 µm. Furthermore, a positive strain rate sensitivity of the hardness in the whole peak-load range was found in Ti-1023 alloy, which showed a linear function of indenter load. The underlying mechanism was well explained by the variation of geometrically necessary dislocation and statistically stored dislocations in Ti-1023 alloy.
