It is known that the formation of cavities during superplastic deformation can be correlated with the development of stress concentrations at irregularities along grain boundaries such as particles, ledges and triple points. In commercial aluminium alloys Al-Fe-Si particles or other coarse constituents may play an important role in cavity formation.Cavity formation during superplastic deformation was studied by optical metallography and transmission scanning electron microscopic investigations on Al-Mg-Si and Al-Mg-Mn alloys. The structure of particles was characterized by selected area diffraction and X-ray micro analysis. The volume fraction of “voids” was determined on mechanically polished surface.It was found by electron microscopy that strongly deformed regions are formed during superplastic forming at grain boundaries and around coarse particles.According to electron diffraction measurements these areas consist of small micro crystallized regions. See Fig.l.Comparing the volume fraction and morphology of cavities found by optical microscopy a good correlation was established between that of micro crystalline regions.

According to the characteristic of appearing cavitation in the metals during superplastic deformation, the influence of strain rate on cavity evolvement, the influence of cavity on superplastic deformation capability, and the formation, development process of cavity were investigated for Al-Cu-Mg alloy (i.e. coarse–grained LY12). The results show that: ①The pore nucleation occurs not only at triangle grain boundaries, but also along nearby the second phase particles, and even within grains. The cavities at the triangle grain boundaries are present in V-shape, others near the second phase particles and within grains are present in O-shape. These cavities may result from disharmony slippage of grain boundaries. ②The tendency of cavity development decreases with increasing of strain-rate. In lower strain-rate condition, though Al-Cu-Mg alloy has better superplasticity, many big cavities in the specimen may reduce the room temperature properties of the alloy. In higher strain-rate condition, Al-Cu-Mg alloy has certain superplasticity and room temperature properties as well as few cavities forming. By analyzing, viscous layer on grain boundaries is very thin and grain sizes can be refined during their extruding and rotating each other in higher strain-rate superplastic deformation condition. ③Growth and coalescence of cavity are the main reason of the superplastic fracture of Al-Cu-Mg alloy. And small and a certain amount of cavities with dispersion and independence state are very useful to crystal boundary slippage.

ABSTRACTZinalco alloy (Zn-21mass%Al-2mass%Cu) specimens were deformed superplastically with a strain rate (ε) of 1×10-3 s-1 at homologous temperature (TH) of 0.68 (5 ). It was observed neck formation that indicate nonhomegeneus deformation. Grain size and grain boundaries misorientation changes, due superplastic deformation, were characterized by Orientation Imagining Microscopy (OIM) technique. It was studied three regions in deformed specimens and the results were compared with the results for a specimen without deformation. Average grain size of 1 mm was observed in non-deformed specimen and a fraction of 82% for grain boundary misorientation angles with a grain boundaries angles between 15° and 55° was found. For deformed specimen, the fraction of angles between 15° and 55° was decreced to average value of 75% and fractions of low angle (<5°) and high angle (>55°) misorientations were 10% and 15% respectively. The grain size and high fraction of grain boundary misorientation angles between 15° and 55° observed in the alloy without deformation, are favorable for grain rotation and grain boundary sliding (GBS) procces. The changes observed in the fraction of favorable grain boundary angles during superplastic deformation, shown that the superplastic capacity of Zinalco was reduced with the deformation.
