Exploring the strain hardening mechanisms of ultrafine grained nickel processed by spark plasma sintering

Résumé

Ultrafine grained (UFG) materials in the bigger grain size range (0.5–1) µm display a good combination of strength and ductility, unlike smaller size UFG and nanostructured metals, which usually exhibit high strength but low ductility. Such difference can be attributed to a change in plasticity mechanisms that modifies their strain hardening capability. The purpose of this work is to investigate the work hardening mechanisms of UFG nickel considering samples with grain sizes ranging from 0.82 to 25 µm. Specimens processed combining ball milling and spark plasma sintering were subjected to monotonous tensile testing up to fracture. Then, microstructural observations of the deformed state of the samples were carried out by electron backscattered diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. A lower strain hardening capability is observed with decreasing grain size. Samples in the submicrometric range display the three characteristic stages of strain hardening with a short second stage and the third stage beginning soon after yielding. Microstructural observations display a low fraction of low angle grain boundaries and dislocation density for the sample with d = 0.82 µm, suggesting changes in plasticity mechanisms early in the UFG range.
