This work presents a study related to the grain refinement of an aluminum A2618 alloy achieved by High-Pressure Torsion (HPT) known as a process of Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD). The HPT is conducted on disks of the alloy under an applied pressure of 6 GPa for 1 and 5 turns with a rotation speed of 1 rpm at room temperature. The HPT processing leads to microstructural refinement with an average grain size of ~250 nm at a saturation level after 5 turns. Gradual increases in hardness are observed from the beginning of straining up to a saturation level. This study thus suggests that hardening due to grain refinement is attained by the HPT processing of the A2618 alloy at room temperature.

Structural Aspects

Copper of different purity levels (4N, 5N) produced by High Pressure Torsion (HPT) with varying processing parameters is investigated utilizing the radiotracer technique. While the degree of deformation is constant, the effect of the applied quasi-hydrostatic pressure and of the impurity concentration on the as deformed samples is analysed. By applying the radio tracer method micro structural aspects are revealed that are not easily accessible by conventional methods. The measurements indicate the formation of a percolating porosity during the HPT process as a function of the applied pressure and (although less pronounced) of the impurity concentration.

An Al 7075 alloy (5.63mass%Zn-2.56mass%Mg-1.68mass%Cu-0.21mass%Fe-0.19mass%Cr-0.14mass%Si-0.02mass%Ti with balance of Al) was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) under an applied pressure of 6 GPa for 1, 3 and 5 revolutions with a rotation speed of 1 rpm at room temperature. Vickers microhardness saturated to a level of 220 Hv after the HPT processing and the grain size was refined to 120 nm at the state of the hardness saturation. Tensile tests were conducted with initial strain rates from 2.0 × 10-4 to 2.0 × 10-2 s-1 at temperatures as 200 °C and 250 °C (equivalent to 0.52Tm and 0.57Tm, respectively, where Tm is the melting point of the alloy). The HPT-processed samples for 3 revolutions exhibited superplastic elongations of 640% and 510% at 250 °C with initial strain rates of 2.0 × 10-3 s-1 and 2.0 × 10-2 s-1, respectively.

X-ray investigations revealed that the increase in the applied pressure during high pressure torsion (HPT) of commercially pure Ti leads not only to substructure refinement with an increase of the dislocation density and microstrain level but also to an α→ ω phase transition at room temperature. The coexistence of both α and ω phases, the latter known as a high pressure phase, in the ratio approximately of 1:3 has been obtained after removal of thehigh pressure. Texture analysis of electodeposited Ni after HPT discovered a new form of crystallite orientation distribution in the nanocrystalline state. A nearly random orientation crystallite distribution has been observed unlike the “traditional” case of a shear texture forming in cubic symmetry metals. The crystallographic texture data obtained were considered as experimental evidence of the changed plastic deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline Ni produced by HPT.

Heat Treated

Ti-6Al-4V alloy was heated to above the β phase transformation temperature with two different cooling speeds: air cooling and furnace cooling, in order to generate a full thin lamellar structure and a fully coarse lamellar structure, respectively. Then the alloy in two heat-treated conditions was processed at room temperature up to 10 turns by high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing. Investigations were carried out to study the effect of the different initial lamellar plate thicknesses on the microstructure development during HPT processing, and the corresponding superplastic behaviour at the selected low testing temperatures of 773 - 923 K.

Continuous Recrystallization

The processing of bulk metals through the application of severe plastic deformation provides the opportunity for introducing significant grain refinement into bulk solids. In the present investigation, an aluminum alloy (Al-6061) was processed by high-pressure torsion (HPT) at room temperature under an applied pressure of 6.0 GPa up to a total of 5 turns. Detailed measurements after processing revealed the occurrence of continuous grain refinement and material strengthening with increasing imposed strain. The average grain size of the alloy was reduced from ~150 m to a grain size in the range of ~500 nm through processing by HPT. Although there was a difference in the average grain size of samples processed to different levels of imposed strain, careful inspection showed that the structures became similar after annealing at 250°C for 5 min. This suggests that the additional grain refinement introduced at large amounts of deformations is less stable at high temperatures. The results of this investigation, including the distributions of the grain sizes after annealing, are consistent with the predictions of a model based on the occurrence of continuous recrystallization in aluminum alloys having fine grain structures, large fractions of high-angle grain boundaries and where there is a large amount of deformation.

Misorientation Angles

In the investigation the 3D version of the Estrin-Tóth dislocation model was used to analyze deformation behaviour of pure Cu, subjected to high pressure torsion (HPT) under pressures equal to 0.8, 2, 5, 8 GPa. As a result of the computer simulation, the nature and reasons for strain hardening are analyzed, the dislocation density evolution versus degree of SPD and graincell size versus degree of SPD curves were plotted. It is shown that the model adequately reflects the acting deformation mechanisms and structural changes during HPT at different applied pressures. It has been stated that an increase of the applied pressure at HPT leads to an increase in the activity of dislocation sources and sinks in the grain-cell walls. Misorientations between boundaries are estimated. It is revealed that an increase of the applied pressure contributes to a growth of the misorientation angles between neighbouring grain-cells.
