Effect of Recovery and Recrystallization on the Hall–Petch Relation Parameters in Submicrocrystalline Metals: I. Experimental Studies

Russian Metallurgy (Metally) Aims and scope

Abstract

Yield strength σy, macroelastic limit σ0, and effective grain-boundary hardening coefficient Keff in the Hall–Petch relation (\({\sigma _y} = {\sigma _0} + {K_{eff}}/\sqrt d \)) in the submicrocrystalline (SMC) materials produced by equalchannel angular pressing are experimentally studied. It is shown that, as compared to parameter σ0 and K in the Hall–Petch relation for coarse-grained metals, the SMC metals are characterized by higher values of σ0 and lower values of Keff. The critical grain size (d1) at which Keff in the σy–d–1/2 relations of SMC materials changes falls in the range 0.2–0.5 μm. The dependences of macroelastic limit σ0 and coefficient Keff on the annealing temperature are found to be determined by recrystallization. If abnormal grain growth develops in annealing of SMC metals, anomalous hardening is detected and a nonmonotonic temperature dependence of coefficient Keff takes place. In the case of conventional recrystallization at a high annealing temperature, SMC metals exhibit a smooth decrease in σ0 and an increase in Keff to the values of K characteristic of coarsegrained materials.
