In this work, the effect of pre-strain cold rolling on thermal stability of friction-stir welded AA6061-T6 alloy was studied. The pre-strain rolling was found to be very effective in suppression of abnormal grain growth during standard post-weld T6 heat treatment. It was also shown that the efficiency of this approach essentially depends on rolling path and the rolling along welding direction was the most effective rolling schedule.

Effect of pulsed magnetic field treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg97Y2Zn1 alloy has been investigated. When the pulsed magnetic field is applied on the alloy in semi-solid state, the α-Mg was modified from developed dendrite to fine rosette, resulting in a refined solidification microstructure with the grain size decreased from 4 mm to 0.5 mm. The volume fraction of the second phase ( X phase) increased by about 10 %. The yield strength, fracture strength and plasticity were improved by 21 MPa, 38 MPa and 2.4 %, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties was attributed to the refined grain size and increased volume fraction of X phase.

The paper reports on microstructure, strength and fatigue of ultrafine-grained (UFG) samples of the Al-Cu-Mg-Si aluminum alloy processed by high pressure torsion (HPT) at various temperatures. Application of the HPT treatment led to strong grain refinement, as well as to a raise of the mean-root square strains and dynamic precipitation. In case of optimal HPT treatment the UFG samples have demonstrated the enhanced thermal stability, an increase in ultimate tensile strength in 2.5 times and enhancement in fatigue endurance limit by 20 % in comparison with coarse-grained alloy subjected to standard treatment. It is shown that the regime of the HPT treatment governs the volume fraction of precipitates and segregations, thereby affecting a grain size and thermal stability of ultrafine-grained structure.
