This research addresses the EBSD analysis of friction stir welded 7136-T76 aluminum alloy. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the grain size and their shape, character of grain boundaries in the stirred and thermo-mechanically affected zones, both on the advancing and retreating side as well as to investigate changes in the crystallographic texture. Results of texture analysis indicate the complexity of the FSW process. The texture gradually weakens on moving from the thermo-mechanically affected zone toward the weld center. The stirred zone is characterized by very weak texture and is dominated by high angle boundaries. On the other hand, the thermo-mechanically affected zone exhibits a high frequency of low angle boundaries.

It is well known that plastic deformation induced by conventional forming methodssuch as rolling, drawing or extrusion can significantly increase the strength of metalsHowever, this increase is usually accompanied by a loss of ductility. For example, Fig.1 shows that with increasing plastic deformation, the yield strength of Cu and Almonotonically increases while their elongation to failure (ductility) decreases. Thesame trend is also true for other metals and alloys. Here we report an extraordinarycombination of high strength and high ductility produced in metals subject to severeplastic deformation (SPD). We believe that this unusual mechanical behavior is causedby the unique nanostructures generated by SPD processing. The combination ofultrafine grain size and high-density dislocations appears to enable deformation by newmechanisms. This work demonstrates the possibility of tailoring the microstructures ofmetals and alloys by SPD to obtain both high strength and high ductility. Materialswith such desirable mechanical properties are very attractive for advanced structuralapplications.

AbstractGrain size distribution effect on the mechanical behavior of NiTi and Vitroperm alloys were investigated. Yielding at significantly lower stresses than found in equiaxed counterparts, along with well defined strain hardening was observed in these nanocrystalline materials with large grains embedded in the matrix during tensile deformation at temperatures of 0.4Tm. At higher temperature the effect of grain size distribution on yield stress was not revealed while plasticity was increased in 50% in NiTi alloy with bimodal grain size structure.

An oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel with nanometric grain size has been produced by means of low-energy mechanical alloying (LEMA) of steel powder (Fe-14Cr-1W-0.4Ti) mixed with Y2O3 particles (0.3 wt%) and successive hot extrusion (HE). The material has equiaxed grains (mean size of 400 nm) and dislocation density of 4 x 1012 m-2, and exhibits superior mechanical properties with respect the unreinforced steel. The mechanical behavior has been compared with that of ODS steels prepared by means of the most common process, high-energy mechanical alloying (HEMA), consolidation through hot isostatic pressing (HIP) or hot extrusion (HE), annealing around 1100 °C for 1-2 hours, which produces a bimodal grain size distribution. The strengthening mechanisms have been examined and discussed to explain the different behavior.
