Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Models for the plasticity and texture development of 2-phase alloys during deformation at both high and low temperatures will be developed. The models will be tested and refined by comparison with the results of sophisticated experiments on oriented, particle-containing single crystals which will be deformed in plane strain channel die compression, in order to simulate the geometry of rolling. Annealing of the deformed crystals will provide detailed information on the recrystallisation behaviour, and in particular on the orientation dependence of this phenomenon and on the development of recrystallisation textures. Theoretical models for recrystallisation will be developed. A new computer simulation model which, by approximating the microstructure to a network, allows the effects of microstructural and orientation inhomogeneities on annealing to be studied, will be extended and its predictions compared with experiment.
