Abstract

Advanced manufacturing and thermomechanical processing technologies of critical industrial products require high precision and reliability of parts under extreme conditions. The internal structure of materials has a significant impact on mechanical and operational characteristics of parts and structures, thus the structural evolution during technological processes has to be considered. Grain boundaries and intermetallic particles play an important role in transforming material structure; the latter are formed due to introduction of alloying elements into the base metal, particles have different sizes, proportion and distribution in materials. Complex patterns of interaction between boundaries and particles with different deformation mechanisms, in particular, intragranular dislocation sliding, grain boundary sliding, can lead to different scenarios depending on temperature-strain rate conditions and material structures. Therefore, during modeling and optimization of complex multi-stage thermomechanical processing and manufacturing, it is necessary to take into account the designated mechanisms and structure characteristics. The article formulates a modified statistical three-level constitutive model based on crystal plasticity taking into account intragranular dislocation sliding, grain boundary sliding and the influence of intermetallic particles of various types. The equations describing deformation mechanisms take into account such particle characteristics as size, volume fraction and shear modulus. The results of numerical experiments for aluminum bicrystals without and with secondary phase particles show a significant influence of the latter on the deformation process.
