The changes of strength properties of superplastic eutectic Bi–43% wt. Sn alloy, caused by repeated tension in the interval of microplastic deformation, are studied. Mechanical tests are carried out in the active loading mode. Relative elongations of the samples did not exceed 3⋅10−3.Theexperimentsarecarriedoutusingthetensometricmethodofmeasurementsatroomtemperature.Theloadingconditionsareadaptedtotheconditionsforthealloytoexhibitthesuperplasticityeffect,whichareestablishedinseparateexperiments.Thestudiedalloyisobtainedinlaboratoryconditionsbycastingonamassivecoppersubstrate.Theingotsarecompressedonahydraulicpressby\approx70\sigmaontherelativeelongation\varepsilonindicatestheweakeningofthestudiedalloyasaresultofrepetitivemicroplasticdeformationandsubsequentexposureofthesamplesintheunloadedstate.Duringexposureafterunloading,inelasticcompressionofthesamplesisobserved.Thisrevealsthepresenceofinternalstressesinthematerial,thevalueofwhichissufficientforitsplasticflow.Itisassumedthattheoccurrenceofsuchstressesisassociated,inparticular,withthepresenceofthesupersaturated\alpha(Sn)−phaseinthestructureofthealloy,whichisformedunderconditionsofrapidcrystallization.Withthehelpoftheoreticalcalculations,itisshownthatthedecompositionofthisphaseduringthetransitionofthealloytoaphasestateequilibriumatlowertemperaturescomparedtotheeutectictemperatureisaccompaniedbyanincreaseinthespecificvolumeofthematerial.Thistransformationispreventedbytherigidframeworkof\beta$(Bi)-phase grains, which occurs during crystallization. The action of external mechanical tensile stress causes the relaxation of internal stresses and the occurrence of the initial stages of decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution based on tin, accompanied by a decrease in the strength of the alloy.
Ключевые слова: superplasticity, strength, phase transformations, internal stresses, eutectic alloy, repeated loading.
