    The Strain Rate History Effect in a Selective-Laser 316l Stainless Steel
    (Elsevier, 2023) Enser, Samed; Güden, Mustafa; Taşdemirci, Alper; Davut, Kemal
    The strain rate history effect in a selective laser melt 316L (SLM-316L) alloy was investigated through quasi-static (10−3 s−1) and high strain rate (1600-3200 s−1) interrupted and reloading compression tests. The specimens pre-tested until about prescribed strains at quasi-static and high strain rates were reloaded dynamically and quasi-statically, respectively. The results revealed that the flow stress depended on strain and strain rate as well as strain-rate history. Quasi-static reloading the dynamically pre-tested specimens until about prescribed strains induced a higher flow stress than the specimens tested quasi-statically. The strengthening was ∼70 MPa at 0.11 pre-strain and decreased as the dynamic test pre-strain was increased due to adiabatic heating. On the other side, reloading the quasi-statically pre-tested specimens dynamically at 0.11 pre-strain resulted in ∼60 MPa lower flow stress than the specimens tested dynamically. The grains of the quasi-statically tested specimens until 0.11 strain were shown to have a lower Taylor factor for twinning and geometrically necessary dislocation density, indicating more potential for twinning than dynamically tested specimen. Although, quasi-statically and dynamically tested specimens were deformed predominantly by the twinning induced plasticity, a higher fraction of twin boundaries was shown microscopically in the dynamically pre-tested specimens until 0.11 pre-strain. This phenomenon of boundary strengthening could be used as a tool of strengthening of SLM-316L alloy at low strains.

    Densification and Characterization of Rapid Carbothermal Synthesized Boron Carbide
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Toksoy, Muhammet Fatih; Rafaniello, William; Xie, Kelvin Yu; Ma, Luoning; Hemker, Kevin Jude; Haber, Richard Alan
    Submicrometer boron carbide powders were synthesized using rapid carbothermal reduction (RCR) method. Synthesized boron carbide powders had smaller particle size, lower free carbon, and high density of twins compared to commercial samples. Powders were sintered using spark plasma sintering at different temperatures and dwell times to compare sintering behavior. Synthesized boron carbide powders reached >99% TD at lower temperature and shorter dwell times compared to commercial powders. Improved microhardness observed in the densified RCR samples was likely caused by the combination of higher purity, better stoichiometry control, finer grain size, and a higher density of twin boundaries.
