The effect of grain size and stacking fault energy (SFE) on the strain hardening rate behavior under plane strain compression (PSC) is investigated for pure Cu and binary Cu-Al alloys containing 1, 2, 4.7, and 7 wt. % Al. The alloys studied have a wide range of SFE from a low SFE of 4.5 mJm−2for Cu-7Al to a medium SFE of 78 mJm−2for pure Cu. A series of PSC tests have been conducted on these alloys for three average grain sizes of ~15, 70, and 250 μm. Strain hardening rate curves were obtained and a criterion relating twinning stress to grain size is established. It is concluded that the stress required for twinning initiation decreases with increasing grain size. Low values of SFE have an indirect influence on twinning stress by increasing the strain hardening rate which is reflected in building up the critical dislocation density needed to initiate mechanical twinning. A study on the effect of grain size on the intensity of the brass texture component for the low SFE alloys has revealed the reduction of the orientation density of that component with increasing grain size.

AbstractWelding and relevant studies are indispensable to employ high-entropy alloys for practical applications. In this study, Al0.3CoCrCu0.3FeNi high-entropy alloy with single FCC phase was used to make “bead-on-plate” friction stir welds at different rotational speeds, and the effects on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied. Several banded structures containing oxide or nitride particles were observed in the stir zone (SZ), and the chemical wear of the polycrystalline cubic boron nitride tool was confirmed. The microhardness distribution of the welds showed higher hardness in the SZ because of grain refinement and the presence of deformed grains. The electron backscattered diffraction results suggested that the high-entropy alloy with low stacking-fault energy experienced recrystallization during friction stir welding, which was similar to other conventional materials with low stacking-fault energy.

In this work, the microhardness of 7075 aluminum alloy friction stir welding (FSW) joint was measured by a micro vickers hardness tester, the microstructure of the joints was characterised by microscope, the precipitated phases among the welding nugget zone (WNZ), thermal mechanical affected zone (TMAZ), heat affected zone (HAZ) were affirmed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and the lattice fringe of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) high resolution image. Based on this, the precipition behavior of precipitated phases was studied. The results show that the microhardness distribution of the 7075 aluminium alloy FSW joints is heterogeneous in comparison with the base metal (BM). The precipitates in the joint mainly include MgZn rod shape and AlCuMg in elliptical shape. In the WNZ, the main precipitate is AlCuMg, and the fine grain strengthening effect is better, so the microhardness in this zone is relatively high. In the TMAZ, the quantity of AlCuMg decreased while the MgZn2 increased relatively in comparison with the WNZ. At the same time, the effect of the fine grain strengthening was weakened, though the strain hardening increased. Therefore, the microhardness in the TMAZ still decreased. In the HAZ, the quantity of MgZn2 increased furtherly, and there is no strain hardening and fine grain strengthening, so the microhardness of the HAZ was the lowest among the FSW joints. Besides, through comparative tests, the optimal process parameters of friction stir welding of 7075 aluminum alloy were obtained.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of friction stir welded Al-5.4Mg-0.2Sc-0.1Zr alloy were studied. Defect-free welds were produced in hot extruded, hot rolled and cold rolled initial conditions. Friction stir welding led to the formation of ultrafine-grained structure in stir zone that contributes to overall strengthening. Coherent Al3(Sc,Zr) dispersoids retain partially during welding process that provides a joint efficiency close to 100% in the hot extruded and hot rolled materials. In the cold-rolled state the joint efficiency was found to be only 64%. The relatively low weld strength of the cold rolled material was attributed to the elimination of strain hardening due to the formation of recrystallized structure. It was shown that full strength weld can be achieved in semi-finished products of Al-Mg-Sc alloys in cold-worked and stabilized states being equal to H323 and H341 tempering by friction stir welding.
