Abstract
The quasi-static and dynamic mechanical behaviors of ultrafine grained (UFG) oxygen free high conductivity copper (OFHC Cu) were compared with those of its coarse grained counterpart. A special focus was made on examining the effect of a UFG structure on the mechanical response under quasi-static and dynamic loading. For this purpose, OFHC Cu having the lamellar and equiaxed UFG structure was prepared by equal channel angular pressing of route A and B_c, respectively. The quasi-static and dynamic tests were conducted using a universal testing machine and the split Hopkins pressure bar tester in the strain rate range of 10⁻³ ~ 5000 s⁻¹. The UFG sample exhibited much enhanced yield stress over the coarse grained sample but showed a ductility loss due to the lack of strain hardenability under the quasi-static loading condition. In addition, shear failure occurred in the UFG samples even under quasi-static tensile mode. The deformation resistance of the equiaxed UFG sample against dynamic loading was found to be similar to that of the transverse lamellar UFG sample (i.e. impact loading perpendicular to the longitudinal lamellar direction), but that of the longitudinal lamellar UFG sample (i.e. impact loading parallel to the longitudinal lamellar direction) was inferior. In addition, the effect of ECAP pass number, which greatly affects the nature of the UFG structure, on the deformation resistance was briefly discussed.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
