摘要
The strain response of an electrochemically deposited nanocrystalline Ni-20 wt.% Fe alloy processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) was investigated by monitoring changes in hardness. Strain hardening was observed in the very early stage of HPT, followed by strain softening before the onset of a second strain hardening stage. Structural investigations revealed that the two hardening stages were associated with an increase in dislocation density, whereas the strain softening stage was accompanied by a reduction in the dislocation and twin densities, thereby demonstrating the main dependence of hardness on the dislocation density in this material. Grain growth occurred during HPT and its role in the hardness evolution is also discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
