Thermal Stability of a Submicrocrystalline Structure of Metals and Alloys

Resumo

The behavior of a material upon deformation and subsequent heating is related to the stagewise development of the structure and is determined by the structure-forming processes developing under specific deformation conditions. The effect of the following relaxation processes on the thermal stability of the deformation structure in metals and alloys is analyzed: deformation-induced dislocation–disclination strengthening, deformation twinning, baric phase transformation, dynamic recovery, and dynamic recrystallization.
