An aged Al-5Zn-1.6Mg alloy with fine η' precipitates was grain refined to ~100 nm grain size by severe plastic deformation (SPD). Microstructure evolution during SPD and mechanical behaviour after SPD of the alloy were characterized by electron microscopy and tensile, compression as well as nanoindentation tests. The influence of η' precipitates on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained Al-Zn-Mg alloy is discussed with respect to their effect on dislocation configurations and deformation mechanisms during processing of the alloy.

In this work, Al-Mg-Mn-Si alloy (5483) in the as-received and severe plastically deformed states was used. Plastic deformation was carried out by hydrostatic extrusion, and three different true strain values were applied 1.4, 2.8 and 3.8. All specimens were subjected to tensile tests and microhardness measurements. The investigated material revealed an instability during plastic deformation in the form of serration on the stress-strain curves, the so called Portevin-Le Chatelier effect It was shown that grain size reduction effected the character of the instability.

AbstractGrain size reduction induced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) and the resulting mechanical properties have been widely investigated for pure metals but less is known and reported about multi-phase materials. To study the grain size reduction mechanisms in multiphase structure subjected to SPD, two copper based composites (Cu-10%Fe and Cu-43%Cr) were severely deformed by torsion under high pressure. The grain size achieved with these composite materials is much smaller than in pure metals. It is for example in a range of 10 to 20 nm for the Cu-43%Cr composite, e.g. one order of magnitude lower than in pure Cu processed by SPD. Three dimensional atom probe data show also the formation of non equilibrium supersaturated solid solutions. The mechanisms of the deformation induced intermixing are discussed together with its influence on the mechanical properties.

Forming Methods

Compared to conventional metal forming methods, processing by severe plastic deformation is mostly used to improve the mechanical properties and not for the shaping of a product. Processed material usually has an average crystal grain size of less than a micron and as a result, the material exhibits improvements in most of the mechanical properties, such as yield and ultimate tensile strength, microhardness, sufficiently high workability, good corrosion resistance, and implant biocompatibility and others. In this paper, a brief review of the processing by severe plastic deformation was presented, including the benefits, major methods, and the application. Additionally, a brief review of two methods made by authors was made.

Strength And Ductility

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) has been widely employed to refine the grain size of Mg alloys, with the main objective to improve the strength and ductility of Mg alloys, since the well-known Hall-Petch equation suggests that a decreased grain size leads to an increased yield strength. However, the yield strength of Mg alloys processed by SPD is often decreased even though the grain size is effectively reduced. The abnormal flow behavior in Mg alloys processed by SPD has attracted great attention although this mechanism is still unclear, due to its complex and extensive influence factors. In this paper, the relationships between the processing conditions, grain refinement, and mechanical properties of the SPD treated Mg alloys are reviewed, with the emphasis on the effects of grain size and texture on the yield strength.

Precipitate Strengthening

In the present study, severe plastic deformation (SPD) processing was combined with pre- and post processing heat treatment to investigate the possibility of synergic grain size and precipitation strengthening. Samples of 7475 alloy were solution heat treated and water quenched prior to hydrostatic extrusion (HE) which resulted in a grain refinement by 3 orders of magnitude, from 70 μm to about 70 nm. The extruded samples were subsequently aged at temperatures resulting in formation of nanoprecipitates.

Hydrostatic extrusion can be viewed as one of the methods of Severe Plastic Deformation, SPD, for the fabrication of ultra-fine grained alloys which causes a significant increase in the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and hardness. In the present study the microstructure of 6082 aluminium alloy after hydrostatic extrusion was investigated. Hydroextrusion was performed in three steps with accumulated true strains of 1.34, 2.73 and 3.74 respectively. Microstructural observations were carried out using SEM, TEM and light microscopy. Grain and inclusion sizes, shapes and distribution were investigated in the HE processed samples. The study has shown that the hydrostatic extrusion process results in a profound refinement of both the grain size and the inclusions in 6082 aluminium alloy.

ECAP is one of the Severe Plastic Deformation methods for reducing the grain size. With this process we can achieve ultrafine grains and consequently high strength. In this study, ECAP process was done on Al-Fe-Si alloy. This alloy was considered because of Fe effect on refining grain size. All samples were ECAPed into 1 pass in ECAP mold with 2 equal channels (1 cm × 1 cm) with 90 degree between them. By this method, around 1.05 as strain was applied on each samples. ECAPed specimens were heat treated (Semisolided) in different times and temperatures for achieving good toughness. Compression and hardness tests were done for finding the mechanical properties. As a result of these test, specimens that tolerate both ECAP and Semisolid have better toughness and strength than received and only ECAPed samples. Based on the microstructural evaluations spheroid solid phase was observed in the Semisolid specimen.

Plastic Deformation Process

The need for super-plasticity and high strength leads to the development of Severe Plastic Deformation technique. The strength of the material is directly dependent upon the grain size of the material. So, there is a need for producing Ultra-Fine Grain microstructure (UFG). UFG material is the material with very small grain size in the range of sub-micrometre. Application of severe plastic deformation, imparts extremely high strain. Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is a severe plastic deformation process in which the metal specimen is pressed through an angular channel of equal cross section. The material is subjected to shear deformation and strain is imparted in the specimen. Geometric parameters such as channel angle and corner angle play a major role in grain refinement. Aluminium (Al) specimens are subjected to undergo severe plastic deformation. Since, the strength of Al is not high, other materials are added in order to enhance its mechanical properties by matrix work hardening. Copper (Cu) along with Al shows increase in its strength and also in hardness. An attempt is made with Aluminium and copper, blended in the ratio 95:5 by weight with the main objective to study the Tensile strength, Hardness and Percentage Elongation properties of the specimen.
