Abstract

Superplastic behavior associated with grain growth in ceramics at high temperature is predicted by using a modified constitutive equation for superplasticity that incorporates the rate of grain growth. The equation reveals that there is an optimum deformation conditions – i.e., the strain rate and deformation temperature - so that ceramics have low flow stress when the grain growth is significant. The equation provides an explanation of increased flow stress for liquid-phase-sintered SiC in the slow-strain-rate region or higher-temperature region in which grain growth plays an important role.
