Abstract
In this study, a micromechanics framework considering both interface diffusion and matrix creep is proposed to analyze the creep behavior of PM alloys. Based on the mean-field micromechanics theory, the creep strain rate induced by interface diffusion in the particulate composite under uniaxial loading is derived. The creep strain is introduced as an eigenstrain into the inclusion, whose rate is expressed in the tensor-form with three non-zero components and naturally satisfies incompressibility. An incremental analysis procedure is employed to model the creep behavior of particulate composites. The aluminum alloy is treated as a composite material, with precipitated particles as the reinforcements. We then adopt the proposed micromechanics approach to study the creep behavior of the powder metallurgy aluminum alloy with continuous precipitation, accounting for both the creep of matrix and the creep induced by interfacial diffusion along the precipitate/matrix interface. The predicted creep curves agree well with experimental results and the explanation for the creep phenomenon has never been proposed before. We have also derived the minimum or steady-state creep rate of the alloy by the micromechanics approach, which turns out to be similar to the expression of improved power-law creep with a threshold stress.
