Serrations develop in the grain boundaries (GB) of many metals and alloys as a result of local migrations to absorb dislocation walls. The serrations form only under deformation conditions where the subgrains reach about 2-10 J1m in diameter; the conditions of temperature and strain rate depend on the metal and the effects of alloying on dynamic recovery. The small serrations evidently diminish GB sliding, making lattice deformation rate controlling. If the conditions are changed to produce lower strain rates, then initial serrations increase the creep life. In alloys with limited dynamic recovery, the serrations are also related to initiation of dynamic recrystallization, which is very important in preventing progression of GB cracking, and thus increasing the ductility in hot-forming operations. The formation of serrations or of a necklace of fine recrystallized grains along the GB of large grains (with good creep resistance) are noted for improving fatigue resistance.Resume-Des dentelures se developpent dans les joints de grains (GB) de plusieurs metaux et alliages, resultat de migrations locales pour absorber les murs de dislocation. Les dentelures se forment seulement sous les conditions de deformations OU les sous-grains atteignent a peu pres 2-10 J1m de diametre; les conditions de temperature et la vitesse de deformation dependent du metal et les effets d'alliages de l'adoucissage dynamique. Les petites dentelures diminuent de maniere evidente Ie glissement des GB, ce qui fait que la vitesse de deformation est controlee par Ie reseau. Si on change les conditions de fayon a produire des vitesses de deformation moins grandes, les dentelures initiales augmentent la duree de vie en fluage. Dans les alliages a faible adoucissage dynamique, les dentelures sont aussi reliees a l'initiation de la recristallisation, ce qui est tres important pour prevenir la progression de fissurations de GB et done accroitre 1amalleabilite dans 1esoperations de formage a chaud. La formation de dentelures ou de colliers de grains fins recristallises Ie long des GB de gros grains (avec une bonne resistance au fluage) sont remarquables pour leur resistance accrue a 1afatigue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
