An experimental technique was developed to determine the strain-rate in a tensile specimen. Then one can calculate the transient isothermal elongational viscosity. Both shear and elongational viscosities were measured to study the effect of shear and elongational fields on the flow properties. The comparison between these viscosities shows that the onset of rapid viscosity growth as crystallization solidification proceeds occurs at about the same value of time at very small deformation rates (0.0028 and 0.0047 $s^{-1}$). The comparison of these measured viscosities as functions of shear and elongational Hencky strains also reveals that the onset of rapid viscosity growths starts at critical Hencky strain values. The behaviour of steady shear viscosity as function of temperature sweep was also explored at three different low shear rates. Finally, the influence of changing oscillatory frequencies and strain rates was also investigated.

Dry sliding wear behavior of pure Fe and Cu which have BCC and FCC crystal structure, respectively, was investigated. The wear characteristics of the pure metals with different crystal structure were compared. Dry sliding wear tests were carried out using a pin-on-disk wear tester at various loads under the constant sliding speed condition of 0.15 m/s against a silica ball at room temperature. Sliding distance was fixed as 600 m for all wear tests. Wear rate of a specimen was calculated by dividing the weight loss of the specimen after the test by the specific gravity and sliding distance. Worn surfaces and wear debris were analyzed by SEM. The wear of both pure Fe and Cu proceeded with surface deformation, resulting in similar wear rates despite of their structure difference under the current test conditions. Wear rates of both metals were low if the surface deformation due to wear forms thick surface-deformation layer that is strain hardened beneath the wearing surface. The pure Cu specimens showed a lot of oxides on the worn surface when tested at low loads less than 5 N, which resulted in very low wear rate.

A phase mixture model was employed to simulate the deformation behaviour of metallic materials covering a wide grain size range from micrometer to nanometer scale. In this model a polycrystalline material is treated as a mixture of two phases: grain interior phase whose plastic deformation is governed by dislocation and diffusion mechanisms and grain boundary 'phase' whose plastic flow is controlled by a boundary diffusion mechanism. The main target of this study was the effect of grain size on stress and its strain rate sensitivity as well as on the strain hardening. Conventional Hall-Petch behaviour in coarse grained materials at high strain rates governed by the dislocation glide mechanism was shown to be replaced with inverse Hall-Petch behaviour in ultrafine grained materials at low strain rates, when both phases deform predominantly by diffusion controlled mechanisms. The model predictions are illustrated by examples from literature.

Since aluminum alloys experience both tensile and compression deformation modes during forming process, it is important to understand the role of deformation mode on the hot formability of metallic alloys. In the present work, the hot formability of Al7050 alloy was investigated by conducting both tensile and Gleeble tests at various temperatures and strain rates. Processing maps representing low efficiency regions were observed at low temperature and high strain rate in both tensile and compressive deformation modes while the maximum efficiency regions depended on different deformation modes. Moreover, samples tested at stable processing conditions presented a smaller pore fraction than those at instable conditions that resulted in crack initiation during plastic deformation. This result shows that different deformation modes during plastic forming can affect formability changes of metallic alloys. Understanding of tension-compression behaviors will help us solve this problem.

The high temperature deformation behavior of $Ni_3Al$ and $Ni_3(Al,Mo)$ single crystals that were oriented near <112> was investigated at low strain rates in the temperature range above the flow stress peak temperature. Three types of behavior were found under the present experimental conditions. In the relatively high strain rate region, the strain rate dependence of the flow stress is small, and the deformation may be controlled by the dislocation glide mainly on the {001} slip plane in both crystals. At low strain rates, the octahedral glide is still active in $Ni_3Al$ above the peak temperature, but the active slip system in $Ni_3(Al,Mo)$ changes from octahedral glide to cube glide at the peak temperature. These results suggest that the deformation rate controlling mechanism of $Ni_3Al$ is viscous glide of dislocations by the <110>{111} slip, whereas that of $Ni_3(Al,Mo)$ is a recovery process of dislocation climb in the substructures formed by the <110>{001} slip. The results of TEM observation show that the characteristics of dislocation structures are uniform distribution in $Ni_3Al$ and subboundary formation in $Ni_3(Al,Mo)$. Activation energies for deformation in $Ni_3Al$ and $Ni_3(Al,Mo)$ were obtained in the low strain rate region. The values of the activation energy are 360 kJ/mol for $Ni_3Al$ and 300 kJ/mol for $Ni_3(Al,Mo)$.

The deformation properties of a TiC-Mo eutectic composite were investigated in a compression test at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 2053 K and at strain rates ranging from $3.9{\times}10^{-5}s^{-1}$ to $4.9{\times}10^{-3}s^{-1}$. It was found that this material shows excellent high-temperature strength as well as appreciable room-temperature toughness, suggesting that the material is a good candidate for high-temperature application as a structure material. At a low-temperature, high strength is observed. The deformation behavior is different among the three temperature ranges tested here, i.e., low, intermediate and high. At an intermediate temperature, no yield drop occurs, and from the beginning the work hardening level is high. At a high temperature, a yield drop occurs again, after which deformation proceeds with nearly constant stress. The temperature- and yield-stress-dependence of the strain is the strongest in this case among the three temperature ranges. The observed high-temperature deformation behavior suggests that the excellent high-temperature strength is due to the constraining of the deformation in the Mo phase by the thin TiC components, which is considerably stronger than bulk TiC. It is also concluded that the appreciable room-temperature toughness is ascribed to the frequent branching of crack paths as well as to the plastic deformation of the Mo phase.

Sheet metal forming of Mg alloy is usually performed at elevated temperature because of the low formability at room temperature. Therefore, strain rates affected with the forming temperature and speed must be considered as important factor about formability. Effects of process parameters such as various temperatures and forming speeds were investigated in circular cup deep drawing. From the experimental results, it is known that LDR (Limit Drawing Ratio) increase as the strain rate increase. On the contrary, the FLD (Forming Limit Diagram) shows lower value as faster strain rate. Therefore, anisotropy values are investigated according to the temperature and strain rates at each forming temperature. R-values also represent higher value as faster strain rate. It is known that the formability can be different with the deformation mode on warm forming of AZ31 alloy sheet.

This study focuses the mechanical deformation response predicted by the plasticity model for polycrystalline ice. To describe various deformation characteristics, ice is idealized as a perfectly plastic material using an asymptotic exponential failure criterion. This criterion is suite for describing materials which exhibit brittle deformation at low hydrostatic pressure and ductile deformation at high hydrostatic pressure. The results are compared to those of continuum damage mechanics model. Plasticity model shows good agreement with damage model and experimental results for high confining pressures even at high strain-rates which is usually considered as a brittle condition under uniaxial compression.

In order to understand the high temperature deformation behavior of superalloy 718, a rotating grade 718 alloy has been compression tested to about 0.7 upset ratio at $927{\sim}1066^{\circ}C$ temperature range and $5{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}5{\times}10^0sec^{-1}$ strain rate. The maximum flow stress was increased with increasing strain rate, and similar behavior was observed with decreasing temperature. At low temperature and high strain rates other than $5{\times}10^{-1}sec^{-1}$, strain softening was occurred mainly by dynamic recovery and deformation twinning processes, while at high temperature and low strain rates strain softening was offseted by dynamic recrystallization. At $5{\times}10^{-1}sec^{-1}$, strain hardening was occurred due to work hardening of the dynamic recrystallized grains. Strain rate sensitivity, m, was varied with strain rates. In the case of lower strain rate tests, m was measured as 0.3 and it was observed that the deformation was mainly controlled by dynamic recrystallization. At higher strain rate, m was lowered to 0.1 and the deformation was controlled by the dynamic recovery and the deformation twinning processes.
