Abstract
An extensive literature review indicated that the law of mixture rule can at times account for stress-strain behavior of two-ductile phase alloys in terms of the stress-strain behavior of component phases. In the present investigation, various factors which can contribute to the stress-strain behavior of two-ductile phase alloys are considered, using Ti-Mn alloys as the model system. Particular attention is focused on the effect of elastic, elasto-plastic, and plastic interactions between the phases on the stress-strain behavior. It is shown that the law of mixture cannot adequately explain the stress-strain behavior. The following equation is proposed to describe the stress-strain behavior of two-ductile phase alloys: Pα-β = fαPα c + fβPβ c + Iα-β p, where Pα-β is a given stress-strain property, fα and f/gb are respective volume fractions of α and β-phases, Pα c and Pβ c are corrected properties of α and β-phases, and Iα-β p is the interaction term. It is found that for α- β Ti-Mn alloys, for 0.2 pct yield strength, Iα-β p is positive, negative, or zero depending on the microstructure; but Iα-β p is always positive for the ultimate tensile strength and strain hardening rates and its magnitude depended on the microstructure. The reasons for the nature or sign of the interaction parameter for a given property are discussed in detail.
