Mechanical properties of nanocrystalline Fe-TiN and Ni-TiN alloys with
various TiN contents between 17 and 64 vol pct, which are prepared by
dynamically consolidating mechanically alloyed powders, have been inv
estigated by means of hardness measurements and indentation creep test
s at intermediate temperatures. The hardness increases with decreasing
grain size to about 10 nm. The indentation creep curves conform well
to an equation derived from a transient creep rate equation. The analy
sis of creep curves indicates that the deformation occurs by a disloca
tion mechanism controlled by grain boundary diffusion.
