Temperature dependence of the flow stress of body-centered-cubic metals

    Research outputpeer-review

    Abstract

    By comparing the properties of dislocation-related relaxation processes in internal friction spectra and the tensile data of various iron alloys, we found that the temperature dependence of the flow stress is governed by the total distribution of the activation energies of dislocation motion. The derived model explains the origin of an anomalous temperature dependence of the flow stress in thermally aged Fe-1%Cu alloys, and Fe-x%Cr alloys as a function of Cr concentration, as well as the non-uniform temperature dependence of the flow stress in pure Fe.
