Although the Bauschinger effect has been investigated in some detail in various materials, the number of articles on the effect of grain size is extremely limited, and in current nanostructured materials it is practically absent. Since such materials are considered as promising for structural applications, it is important to understand their mechanical behavior under conditions of changing the direction of deformation, and, therefore, it is necessary to study the Bauschinger effect and its dependence on grain size. The Bauschinger effect was investigated by a single exemplary method for tensile compression of commercially pure hcp titanium and fcc copper, with different grain sizes in the range from hundreds of microns to hundreds of nanometers. The change in grain size was performed by structure refinement by the method of severe plastic deformation using equal-channel angular pressing and subsequent annealing. It has been established that, in both materials, the Bauschinger effect increases with a decrease in grain size, the degree of permanent strain and the duration of exposure between forward and reverse deformation. The signs of the Bauschinger parameter in copper and titanium are opposite. The relationship between the Bauschinger effect and the nature of strain hardening in titanium and softening in copper in the ultrafine-grained state is discussed. |
