AbstractMechanical alloying can be carried out by a method known as friction stir processing, whereby solid Zn particles in a solution are distributed onto an aluminium alloy plate. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a volume of Zn particles on the mechanical and physical properties of aluminium 1xxx alloy that had been subjected to friction stir processing. The specimens were plates composed of 1xxx series aluminium. A groove, measuring 12 mm in diameter, was pierced to various depths, and the Zn particles in these containers were then subjected to friction stir processing using a pin-less tool with a diameter of 15 mm. The results showed that the highest hardness was found in the uppermost layer of the workpiece, and this gradually decreased with thickness. An increase in the amount of Zn particles caused an increase in material hardness. The highest hardness of 87.1 HV in the friction stir-processed AA1100 was obtained at the highest volume of Zn compared to the hardness of 44.5 HV, which was obtained for the specimen without the addition of Zn.

A physical model based on three types of dislocations and three nucleation sites for recrystallized grain is applied to hot rolling simulation. This model was implemented into a commercial Finite Element (FE) analysis package FORGE 2008 to calculate both the structure evolution during and the recrystallized volume fraction after hot working of aluminium alloy 5083. It is shown that the main nucleation mechanisms in the aluminium alloy are the particle stimulated nucleation (PSN) and nucleation at grain boundaries. Hence the precipitation kinetics during homogenisation was investigated by use of the thermodynamic calculation software MatCalc. To validate the simulation results hot rolling experiments were performed by means of a laboratory mill. The grain structure evolution was analysed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).

Ultrafine Grain Structure

Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes are for developing ultrafine grained (UFG) structured materials for different Industrial applications. Cyclic Constrained Groove Pressing (CCGP) is a technique, produce fine grained structures in metallic sheets or plates in mass production. The objective of research work is to investigate the influence of CCGP processing on the super plastic behaviour of an Aluminium alloy. Samples in “ascast” materials processed by CCGP with as cast, 1, 2, 3 and 4 passes. Processed Material study for microhardness and Tensile strength mechanical properties test were done for different test specimens. Grain refinement, microhardness and Tensile strength increased with the number of CCGP passes.

Angular Pressing

In-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction has been applied in order to study grain growth in an ultra-fine grained (D~400 nm) 6060 aluminium alloy at 270°C. The submicron grain structure was produced by Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) to an effective strain of ~6 without rotation of the billet. As the material was textured after ECAP, the initial stages of grain growth were seldom detected, but in the grain size interval available for studies a grain growth exponent of 3.6±0.3 was obtained. By interpolation of the grain growth curves to D=D0 (determined by EBSD) the effect of growth on the softening of the alloy was estimated. The interpolated average curve indicates that the initial stages of softening are not due to uniform grain growth, but rather reconfiguration and annihilation of dislocations as well as overaging of hardening precipitates.
