Evolution Of Microstructure

In order to predict the mechanical properties of Al sheet products, the evolution of microstructure and crystallographic texture along the process chain must be tracked. During the thermo-mechanical processing in commercial production lines the material experiences a complex history of temperature, time and strain paths, which results in alternating cycles of deformation and recrystallization with the associated changes in texture and microstructure. In the present paper the texture evolution of AA 3104 can body stock is modelled. In particular, the earing behaviour at final gauge is linked to the decisive steps of deformation and recrystallization along the thermomechanical process chain. For this purpose, the textures predicted by a comprehensive throughprocess model of the texture evolution during the thermo-mechanical production of Al sheet are input into a polycrystal-plasticity approach to simulate earing of the final gauge sheets.

Beta Ti Alloy

There is increasing usage of high strength Beta Ti alloy in aerospace components. However, one of the major challenges is to obtain homogeneous refined microstructures via the thermo-mechanical processing. To overcome this issue, an understanding of the hot deformation conditions effect on the microstructure, prior to and after annealing, is needed. In this work, the effect of strain levels, which is more precise than percentage of reduction, and strain rate under supra-transus deformation temperature on beta annealing are studied using a double cone sample. The Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) is used to determine the deformed microstructure and texture evolution, as well as the static recrystallized grains evolution using the ex situ annealing approach. This work provides evidence that the mechanisms of dynamic recovery and recrystallization, along with texture evolution, are affected by the deformation conditions, which in turn affected the subsequent static recrystallization during annealing. It will also be shown that high levels of strain do not necessarily lead to an increase in the rate of recrystallization. Finally, the results obtained provided several examples of guidance in designing the TMP processes for obtaining not only a refine microstructure, but a more homogeneous beta microstructure during the beta processing of Beta Ti alloy.

Using a processing path model based on the conservation principle in the orientation space explicit solutions can be formed linking any final (desired) microstructure to a given initial state for polycrystalline materials. The model uses texture coefficients in spherical harmonics expansion to as materials descriptors to represent the texture state of polycrystalline materials. In this work, the effect of increasing the maximum number of texture coefficients used in the series expansion (represented by Lmax) on the prediction of texture and its accuracy is fully studied.

The Impact

During the thermo-mechanical processing of aluminium sheet products in commercial production lines the material experiences a complex history of temperature, time and strain paths, which result in alternating cycles of deformation and recrystallization with the associated changes in microstructure and, especially, crystallographic texture. Thus, computer-based alloy and process development requires integration of models for simulat¬ing the evolution of microstructure, microchemistry and crystallographic texture into process models of the thermo-mechanical production of Al sheet. In the present paper the influence of texture on the anisotropic properties is explored for various industrially processed aluminium alloy sheets for packaging applications. Besides the use of experimentally measured sheet textures as an input for the anisotropy calculations, particular attention is given to the use of modelled textures. Here, results from a comprehensive through-process modelling of the texture evolution during the thermo-mechanical production of aluminium sheet are utilized. Eventually, this will enable us to predict the evolution of texture and the resulting properties along the entire process chain and hence to improve product quality of aluminium sheet products avoiding laborious and expensive plant trials.

Currently there is a great interest in developing nickel base alloys with fine and uniform dispersion of stable oxide particles, for high temperature applications. It is well known that the high temperature strength and stability of an oxide dispersed alloy can be greatly improved by appropriate thermomechanical processing, but the mechanism of this strengthening effect is not well understood. This investigation was undertaken to study the dislocation substructures formed in beryllia dispersed nickel alloys as a function of cold work both with and without intermediate anneals. Two alloys, one Ni-lv/oBeo and other Ni-4.5Mo-30Co-2v/oBeo were investigated. The influence of the substructures produced by Thermo-Mechanical Processing (TMP) on the high temperature creep properties of these alloys was also evaluated.

The mechanical properties of three titanium alloys (Ti-7Mo-3Al, Ti-7Mo- 3Cu and Ti-7Mo-3Ta) were evaluated as function of: 1) Solutionizing in the beta field and aging, 2) Thermal Mechanical Processing in the beta field and aging, 3) Solutionizing in the alpha + beta field and aging. The samples were isothermally aged in the temperature range 300° to 700*C for 4 to 24 hours, followed by a water quench. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray method were used to identify the phase formed. All three alloys solutionized at 1050°C (beta field) transformed to martensitic alpha (alpha prime) upon being water quenched. Despite this heavily strained alpha prime, which is characterized by microtwins the tensile strength of the as-quenched alloys is relatively low and the elongation is as high as 30%.

The in situ experimentation technique in HVEM seems to be particularly suitable to clarify the processes involved in recrystallization. The material under investigation was unidirectionally cold-rolled titanium of commercial purity. The problem was approached in two different ways. The three-dimensional analysis of textures was used to describe the texture evolution during the primary recrystallization. Observations of bulk-annealed specimens or thin foils annealed in the microscope were also made in order to provide information concerning the mechanisms involved in the formation of new grains. In contrast to the already published work on titanium, this investigation takes into consideration different values of the cold-work ratio, the temperature and the annealing time.Two different models are commonly used to explain the recrystallization textures i.e. the selective grain growth model (Beck) or the oriented nucleation model (Burgers). The three-dimensional analysis of both the rolling and recrystallization textures was performed to identify the mechanismsl involved in the recrystallization of titanium.
