Abstract

The production of dislocation substructures by cold working and recovery, fatigue, creep and hot working are reviewed. The relationships of subgrain size and dislocation density to the causal parameters of strain, strain rate, strain amplitude, temperature, stress and time (as applicable) are presented for each process. The importance of dislocation mechanisms such as climb, cross-glide, annihilation and subboundary formation are explained. The relative capabilities and limitations of each mode of creation with respect to both external processing and internal mechanisms are explored. The effects of the metal's stacking fault energy, of solid solution and of particle dispersion on structure and behavior are presented. The properties of the different kinds of substructures for room temperature and creep service are examined. The need for modification of the Petch relationship between yield strength and subgrain size is explored. The thermal stability is shown to be an important factor for creep service. It is concluded that the most suitable modes of substructure preparation are either cold working and recovery or hot working both from the view point of fitting into current industrial practice and from that of dependable, useful service properties.
