The changes in texture and microstructure that occur during superplastic deformation (SPD) of a suitably thermo-mechanically processed (TMP) Al alloy AA7010 containing Sc at a temperature and strain rate combination of 475°C, 1.9x10-2s-1 have been examined. It is observed that during the early stages of SPD, there is a significant increase in the Brass {110}<112> component as well as a considerable increase in the S {123}<634> component. Whilst, these components gradually decrease leading to the randomization of texture as the SPD process progresses to larger strains. These results are discussed in terms of the nature of the TMP together with significant variations in the number density of Al3ScxZr1-x dispersoids and percentage recrystallization with strain.

Increasing the strain rate at superplastic forming is a challenging technical and economic task of aluminum forming manufacturing. New aluminum sheets exhibiting high strain rate superplasticity at strain rates above 0.01 s−1 are required. This study describes the microstructure and the superplasticity properties of a new high-strength Al-Zn-Mg-based alloy processed by a simple thermomechanical treatment including hot and cold rolling. The new alloy contains Ni to form Al3Ni coarse particles and minor additions of Zr (0.19 wt.%) and Sc (0.06 wt.%) to form nanoprecipitates of the L12-Al3 (Sc,Zr) phase. The design of chemical and phase compositions of the alloy provides superplasticity with an elongation of 600–800% in a strain rate range of 0.01 to 0.6/s and residual cavitation less than 2%. A mean elongation-to-failure of 400% is observed at an extremely high constant strain rate of 1 s−1. The strain-induced evolution of the grain and dislocation structures as well as the L12 precipitates at superplastic deformation is studied. The dynamic recrystallization at superplastic deformation is confirmed. The superplastic flow behavior of the proposed alloy is modeled via a mathematical Arrhenius-type constitutive model and an artificial neural network model. Both models exhibit good predictability at low and high strain rates of superplastic deformation.

The feasibility has been demonstrated for achieving high-strain-rate superplasticity with elongations beyond 2000% in Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy with the partially recrystallized structure, produced by warm equal-channel angular pressing to strain of e~3 only. Subsequent alloy ambient temperature rolling up to e~1.6 enhanced the superplastic elongations and moved the optimum of superplasticity toward the higher strain rates.
