Intermediate temperature embrittlement(ITE)is a general phenomenon in Ni alloys and recently was interpreted by dynamic strain aging(DSA).The relationship between ITE and DSA was studied by a binary Ni-Bi alloy.The experimental alloy of well-controlled purity was produced by vacuum induction melting and then heat-treated properly.Tensile tests were performed at various tensile temperatures,and the elongation at fracture was used to indicate the ductility.In order to identify the mechanisms of fracture and ITE,fracture morphologies of the samples of low ductility were observed by scanning electron microscopy.According to the tensile ductility,Ni-Bi alloy shows an obvious embrittlement behavior in the intermediate temperature range(700-750 ℃).However,the stress-strain curves of Ni-Bi alloy and the fracture morphologies indicate that DSA does not exist over the whole temperature range.Based on the experimental results and literatures,the interpretation of DSA was then discussed and proved to be invalid for elucidating the general feature of ITE in Ni-Bi alloy and Ni-based superalloys.
Intermediate temperature embrittlement (ITE) is a general phenomenon in Ni alloys and recently was interpreted by dynamic strain aging (DSA). The relationship between ITE and DSA was studied by a binary Ni-Bi alloy. The experimental alloy of well-controlled purity was produced by vacuum induction melting and then heat-treated properly. Sensile tests were performed at various tensile temperatures, and the elongation at fracture was used to indicate the ductility. In order to identify the mechanisms of fracture and ITE, fracture morphologies of the samples of low ductility were observed by scanning electron microscopy. According to the tensile ductility, Ni-Bi alloy shows an obvious embrittlement behavior in the intermediate temperature range (700-750 ° C) .However, the stress-strain curves of Ni-Bi alloy and the fracture morphologies indicate that DSA does not exist over the whole temperature range. Based on the experimental results and literatures, the interpretation of DSA was then discussed and prov ed to be invalid for elucidating the general feature of ITE in Ni-Bi alloy and Ni-based superalloys.
