Multiscale (micro, meso, nano) structural states in the V-Cr-W-ZrC alloy under conditions of homogeneous deformation in the BCC → HCP → BCC transformations
摘要
It is determined that an important peculiarity of a homogenous deformation in the BCC→HCP→BCC transformations of a V-Cr-W-ZrC alloy is the operation of this deformation mode at different structural levels. The formation of multilevel (micro + meso + nano) structural states under these conditions is observed with high density of nanovolumes measuring a few nanometers, high local internal stresses and stored deformation energy. A possibility is demonstrated of a multiple increase of the impact strength of this alloy by a transformation of these nanovolumes into the crystals with discrete low-angle boundaries.
