Superplasticity is a newly observed phenomenon in | |
ceramics, with the first publication appearing in 1986. | |
The current program has centered on an experimental study | |
of superplasticity in polycrystalline iron carbide. This | |
material has been made superplastic by utilization of two | |
processing methods: powder processing and ingot- | |
processing. In both cases the end microstructure is a | |
continuous phase of ultra-fine grained iron carbide. The | |
ultra-fine grained powder processed material was | |
successfully gas-pressure blow-formed into a spherical | |
shaped object, and its deformation followed the predicted | |
behavior of a high strain-rate sensitive material that is | |
controlled by grain-boundary sliding. Thermo-mechanical | |
processing routes were developed to refine the coarse as- | |
cast ingot microstructure. Structural refinement is a | |
result of creation of strain-free regions by carbon | |
dissolution from high strain energy subgrain boundaries | |
and slip bands. It is proposed that thermomechanical | |
processing of ingot-cast eutectic-composition oxide | |
ceramics to achieve a superplastic structure is feasible. | |
