A mathematical model of plastic deformation of dispersion-hardened materials with an fcc matrix containing strengthening particles with an L1 2 superstructure having a coherent relationship with the matrix is presented. The model is based on the balance equations of deformation defects of different types with taking into account their transformation during plastic deformation. The influence of scale characteristics of the hardening phase, temperature, and deformation rate on the evolution of the dislocation subsystem and strain hardening of an alloy with an fcc matrix hardened by particles with an L1 2 superstructure is studied. A temperature anomaly of mechanical properties is found for the materials with different fcc matrices (Al, Cu, Ni). It is shown that the temperature anomaly is more pronounced for the material with larger volume fraction of the hardening phase.
INTRODUCTIONIn material science, the use of composites based on a metal matrix hardened by the second phase to improve the mechanical properties of materials for various purposes remains of current interest. In almost any area of research, a convenient and universal instrument is mathematical modeling that allows widely vary the characteristics of the material and the impacts on the material. The modeling allows to precede and, perhaps, even to replace the experimental studies. This paper presents a mathematical model of plastic deformation in the dispersion-hardened materials with the fcc matrix containing the hardening particles with an L1 2 superstructure having a coherent relationship with the matrix.In preparation and investigation of materials for various purposes, mathematical modeling allows to accelerate the processes of analysis and implementation of the results, to explore the fundamental properties, mechanisms and processes that determine the strength and plastic properties of materials. Varying the composition of the matrix and filler and their ratio, we can get a wide range of the dispersion-hardened materials with the desired set of properties. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the deformation temperature on the hardening of material with a variety of scale characteristics of the hardening phase in a wide range of external influences.
MATHEMATICAL MODELIntroduction of a coherent phase ordered by an L1 2 type into an fcc metal matrix brings a number of features in the accumulation of dislocations and strain hardening of the material [1-4]. Dislocations interact with coherent particles, whose number is assumed to be equal to N = 1/Λ p . It is the number of the hardening particles per unit length of the dislocation and Λ р is an average distance between the centers of the particles.The moving dislocations can cut through a coherent particle of an ordered phase shifting it to a distance equal
