Abstract: | A metallographic study has been made of the denuded zones from diffusional flow in a hydrided alloy of magnesium with 6 wt
pct Zn and 0.5 wt pct Zr (ZK 60). At the deformation temperature of 450°C, with an initial grain size of 18 um, the alloy
was superplastic. Its maximum strain-rate sensitivity,m = (d log σ)/(d log ∈), was ⊥0.6 at fe –4 10~4 sec–1. A diffusional strain, ed = ΔLd/Ld, was calculated from measurements of zone thickness, ΔLd, and interzone distance,L
d.
This was a reasonably constant fraction of the total strain,e, up to the limiting strain of ⊥220 pct. Over a strain-rate range of 3.3 x 10–3 sec–1 to 3.3 x 10⊥5 sec–1,e
d
/e increased from about 0.05 to 0.30. |
