High temperature deformation behavior of AZ31 and AZ91 magnesium alloys was examined by compression tests over a wide strain rate range from 10–3 to 103 s–1 with emphasis on the behavior at high strain rates. The dominant deformation mechanism in the low strain rate range below 10–1 s–1 was suggested to be climb-controlled dislocation creep. On the other hand, experimental results indicated that the deformation at a high strain rate of ~103 s–1 proceeds by conventional plastic flow of dislocation glide and twinning even at elevated temperatures. The solid-solution strengthening was operative for high temperature deformation at ~103 s–1.

ABSTRACTIt has been expected that “High rate superplastic materials” will be developed for industrial applications. The Dorntype equation for high temperature deformation suggests that strain rate can be increased if the grain size is decreased. This means that grain refinement can effectively establish high strain rate superplastic materials.It is well known that a high degree of grain size refinement will result from the addition of zirconium to Al-base alloys. Powder-metallurgical processing with rapidly solidified powders is also available for the improvement of superplasticity by both the refinement of the solidified structure and the maintenance of the stable fine structure of a 7475 Al alloy during recrystallization and deformation. Therefore. P/M 7475 Al alloys containing Zr up to 0.9 wt% were selected as candidate specimens. The objective of the present paper includes the clarification of the role and the effective amount of Zr to obtain high strain rate superplastic materials. As a result, the addition of 0.3%Zr or more is effective in grain refinement of the P/M 7475 Al alloy. However, alloys containing 0.7 and 0.9 wt%Zr only show superplasticity at 793K. The optimum strain rate is shifted to a higher range with increasing Zr. The alloy of 7475 Al-0.9%Zr shows the maximum elongation of 900% at the remarkably high strain rate of 3.3×10−1 s−1.The deformation mechanism of such high stain rate superplasticity will be discussed briefly, by considering the effect of the fine particles of Zr on superplastic behavior.

Friction stirring is a fundamental process in the friction stir welding (FSW), and moreover, high strain rate deformation in elevated temperature to lead to extremely high ductility and fine grain size. In the present study, friction stirring process has been successfully modelled as a high temperature deformation depending on strain rate and temperature, assuming shear deformation of material in stir zone and generation of frictional heat by rotating tool. Axial load and torque during the process were estimated based on the model, and compared with the experimental data at two kinds of combination ratio in FSW of aluminum and Al-Mg alloy. It was, consequently, confirmed that the model could evaluate flow stress and strain rate from the experimental load and torque.
