Thermomechanical: “Heat and Beat”

Materials Processing

Chemical: alloy chemistry, doping,corrosion, oxidation

Radiation: exposure to light, electron beam, particles, neutrons

During processing, the material is often put in excited states, to achieve structural changes. These structural changes are preserved as the materials “cools down”, and taken advantage of (“properties”) during use. The whole process requires free-energy dissipation & varying degree of out-of-equilibriumness.

Dao et al, "Toward a quantitative understanding of mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline metals," Acta Mater. 55 (2007) 4041: Fig. 1. (a) Grain size dependence of strength of Cu. The strength (or hardness) is plotted vs. d-1/2. Literature data on hardness (solid symbols) and yield strength (multiplied by 3) from compression tests (empty symbols) are included in (a), and tensile yield strength are included in (b). The straight lines represent the H–P relation extrapolated from mc Cu. Note thatmost ultrafine crystalline Cu samples (with d in the submicron regime) exhibit higher hardness and tensile strength than the H–P expectation. The possible reason may be related with the fact that the ufc samples were prepared via severe plastic deformation, in which dense dislocation walls, tangles, cell walls or even subgrain boundaries are formed.

equilibrium is however yet a bit more subtle:

It is possible to reach equilibrium among a subsetof the degrees of freedom

(all atoms in a shot) or subsystem, while this subsystem is not in equilibrium with

the rest of the system.

This is why engineering &material thermodynamics

are still useful in cars.

50

Imagine a car going 80 mph on highway: the car is not in equilibrium with the road

the axel is not in equilibrium with the bodythe piston is not in equilibrium with the engine block …

But we may apply material thermodynamics to steel in piston, hydrogen in tank, rubber in tire… because there is a separation of timescales: atoms in condensed phases collide with each other ~ 1012 times per second, so atoms can reach equilibrium with adjacent

atoms before macro scale components reach equilibrium with each other.

In this course, we will mainly study type A non-equilibrium phenomena, where temperature can be locally defined: T(x)
