The effects of severe plastic deformation (SPD) by isothermal rolling at the temperature of liquid nitrogen combined with prior- and post-SPD heat treatment, on microstructure and hardness of Al-4.4%Cu-1.4%Mg-0.7%Mn (D16) alloy were investigated. It was found no nanostructuring even after straining to 75%. Сryodeformation leads to microshear banding and processing the high-density dislocation substructures with a cell size of ~ 100-200 nm. Such a structure remains almost stable under 1 hr annealing up to 200oC and with further temperature increase initially transforms to bimodal with a small fraction of nanograins and then to uniform coarse grained one. It is found the change in the alloy post–SPD aging response leading to more active decomposition of the preliminary supersaturated aluminum solid solution, and to the alloy extra hardening under aging with shorter times and at lower temperatures compared to T6 temper.

This research characterizes the changes in microstructure that occur in friction stir welded extrusions of a novel 7042 aluminum alloy. Due to the presence of scandium the base material preserved the deformation microstructure with elongated grains and fairly high dislocation density. The temperature increase with simultaneous severe plastic deformation occurring during friction stir welding induced significant changes in the microstructure within the weld and its vicinity. The weld center (stir zone) was composed of fine equiaxed grains with residual dislocations and a modest density of small precipitates compared to the neighbouring thermomechanically and heat affected zones where the density of small precipitates was much higher.

Multi Scale Analysis

There are several severe plastic deformation processes that transform the material from microsized grains to the nanosized grains under large deformations. The grain size of a macrostructure is generally 300 μm. Following severe plastic deformation it can be reached a grain size of 200 nm and even less up to 50 nm. These structures are called ultrafine grained materials with nanostructured organization of the grains. There are severe plastic deformation processes like equal angular channel, high pressure torsion which lead to a 200 nm grain size, respectively 100 nm grain size. Basically, these processes have a common point namely to act on the original sized material so that an extreme deformation to be produced. The severe plastic deformation processes developed until now are empirically-based and the modeling of them requires more understanding of how the materials deform. The macrostructural material models do not fit the behavior of the nanostructured materials exhibiting simultaneously high strength and ductility. The existent material laws need developments which consider multi-scale analysis. In this context, the present paper presents a laboratory method to obtain ultrafine grains of an aluminum alloy (Al-Mg) that allows the microstructure observations and furthermore the identification of the stress–strain response under loadings. The work is divided into (i) processing of the ultrafine-grained aluminum alloy using a laboratory-scale process named in-plane controlled multidirectional shearing process, (ii) crystallographic analysis of the obtained material structure, (iii) tensile testing of the ultrafine-grained aluminum specimens for obtaining the true stress-strain behavior. Thus, the microscale phenomena are explained with respect to the external loads applied to the aluminum alloy. The proposed multi-scale analysis gives an accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of the ultrafine-grained materials that can be further applied to finite element modeling of the microforming processes.

Effects of severe plastic deformation by isothermal сryorolling with a strain of e~2 and subsequent natural and artificial aging on the structure and resistance to intergranular corrosion (IGC) of the preliminary quenched 2024 aluminum alloy of standard and Zr modified compositions were investigated. Increasing the temperature of aging leads to decreasing the alloy IGC resistance due to precipitation of more stable strengthening S-phase (Al2CuMg), rising difference of electrochemical potentials at grain and subgrain boundaries. Zr additions, оn the opposite, significantly increased the alloy IGC resistance in both naturally and artificially aged conditions, reducing its depth and intensity. The main structural factor, influencing the alloy corrosion behavior, is excess phases: their composition, volume fraction and distribution.

Alloy 6061

Aluminum and its alloys are widely used as structural materials in aerospace, automotive and other industries due to low density and high specific strength. Efficient way to increase strength and other properties of aluminum alloys is to form an ultra fine grain structure using severe plastic deformation methods. Cryogenic asymmetric sheet rolling under liquid nitrogen temperature is a process of severe plastic deformation that can be used to improve the aluminum alloys structure and properties. Prediction of sheet temperature during plastic deformation is very important. The temperature of sheet is changed due to the conversion of mechanical work of deformation into heat through sliding on contact surfaces. This paper presents the results of the finite element simulation of heat transfer during cryogenic asymmetric sheet rolling of aluminum alloy 6061. The effect of thickness reduction, rolling velocity and friction coefficient on the deformation heating and temperature field of aluminum alloy 6061 was found. The results of investigation could be useful for the development of the optimal treatment process of aluminum alloys by cryogenic severe plastic deformation to obtain the ultra fine grain structure and high strength properties.
