Mathematical modeling of the deformation behavior of heterophase alloys at various characteristics of the strengthening phase

Abstract

Further development of techniques and technologies urgently requires the creation of new materials with unique properties. One of the most popular and promising areas in materials science is the creation of composite materials with desired properties. Currently, in practice peening by dispersed particles is widely used to improve the properties of metal materials. It is necessary to investigate in detail the influence of various factors on the behavior of dispersion-hardened materials in a variety of conditions to control the properties of materials. Physical experiment, in addition to large investments, often takes a long time. This paper presents a mathematical model of plastic deformation of dispersion-hardened materials with a face-centered cubic (fcc) matrix and with incoherent and coherent nanoscale particles. Application of this model can significantly reduce the time of research and necessary amount of physical experiment. The results allow optimizing of experiment, identifying ways to improve the properties of the materials.Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence.
