AbstractA variety of Fe3Al alloys including Fe-25Al, Fe-28Al, Fe-28Al-4Cr and Fe-28Al-2Ti (all in atomic percent) have been investigated by tensile test to find if these alloys could have superplasticity at elevated temperatures, the results revealed that all these alloys exhibited large elongations when the temperature is higher than 600°C. At 850°C , under appropriate initial strain rate, the elongation is all above 300%. For Fe-28Al-2Ti, the maximum elongation reached 585%. Maximum m values are all above 0.3. Initial grain sizes are bigger than 100μm but became finer after deformation. Fracture happened with necking but no cavities were found under optical microscope. Characteristics of this phenomenon were summarized and discussed.

Before And After

Tensile test at loading velocities up to 10 m·s-1(strain rate up to 3.2x102s-1) was carried out forr SiCp/AC4CH composite and AC4CH alloy. The microstructure of the composite before and after tensile deformation was carefully examined with both optical microscope and SEM. The experimental results demonstrated that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and yield strength (YS) increase with increasing loading velocity up to 10 m·s-1. Comparing with AC4CH alloy, the fracture elongation of the composite is sensitivity with the increasing strain rate. The YS of both the composite and AC4CH alloy shows more sensitive than that of the UTS with the increasing strain rate, especially in the range of strain rate higher than 102s-1.

Superplastic Properties

The aim of the present investigation was to determine and to compare the superplastic behaviour of the AA5083 (Al-Mg-Mn) alloy with Sc and Zr additions. The investigated alloys were processed to form sheets by conventional hot and cold rolling. The superplastic properties were determined with strain rates in the range of 1x10-4to 5x10-2s-1and forming temperatures of 350 to 550°C. The results showed that the alloy with about 0.4% Sc exhibited a high superplastic ductility across a wide temperature range and strain rates up to 1x10-2s-1. The highest elongations to failure of about 2000% were attained at 550°C and at an initial strain rate of 5x10-3s-1. However, the alloy with about 0.15% Zr exhibited elongations up to 600%. The FSP processed Al-4.5Mg alloy with combined addition of about 0.2% Sc and 0.15% Zr exhibited good superplastic properties at higher strain rates (> 1x10-2s-1) with elongations up to 1500%.

Grain Size And Shape

This study investigates the influence of titanium (Ti) and magnesium (Mg) additions on aluminum (Al) alloys in order to evaluate the relationship between the structure and properties of the new alloys. The alloys obtained at elevated temperatures mainly consist of Al–2Mg–1Ti, Al–2Mg–3Ti, Al–4Mg–2Ti, and Al–6Mg–2Ti alloys, as well as α and τ solid solution phases of intermetallic structures. Microstructural analyses were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscope, and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) techniques. Test results show that the average grain size of the alloys decreased with the addition of Ti inclusions during the casting and solidification processes, and the smallest grain size was found to be 90 μm for the Al–6Mg–3Ti alloy. In addition, tensile properties of the Al–Mg–Ti alloys were initially improved and then worsened after the addition of higher concentrations of Ti. The highest tensile and hardness values of the alloys were Al–4Mg–2Ti (205 MPa) and Al–6Mg–3Ti (80 BHN). The primary reasons for having higher mechanical properties may be attributed to strengthening of the solid solution and refinement of the grain size and shape during the solidification process. For this study, the optimum concentrations of Ti and Mg added to the Al alloys were 4 and 2 wt.%, respectively. This study may be useful for field researchers to develop new classes of Al alloys for various industrial applications.

The elevated temperature deformation and fracture behavior of an 10vol%B4CP/7039 aluminum matrix composite plate was investigated by uniaxial tensile tests at temperatures ranging from573 to 773 K and at initial strain rates from 1x10-1 to 1x10-4s-1.The strain rate sensitivity exponent was found to be approximately 0.1-0.15 which was below that of a superplastic material. A maximum elongation of 116% was obtained at an initial strain rate of 10-1 s-1 and at a temperature of 773 K.

An earlier study showed that high-pressure sliding (HPS) is effective for grain refinement of pure Al in a rectangular sheet form using the principle of high-pressure torsion. In this study, the HPS is applied for grain refinement of an Al-3%Mg-0.2%Sc alloy and an AZ61 Mg alloy. HPS was conducted under a pressure of 1 GPa with sliding distances of 10 to 30 mm at room temperature for the Al alloy and at 473 K for the Mg alloy The average grain size is ~300 nm for both the Al and Mg alloys, respectively. Tensile tests showed that a superplastic elongation of ~1500% is achieved in the Al-3%Mg-0.2%Sc alloy at 573 K with an initial strain rate of 3.3x10-3 s-1 and of ~600% in the AZ61 alloy at 573 K with an initial strain rate of 1x10-3 s-1.

Superplastic Properties

The superplastic behavior of a commercial aluminum alloy denoted as 1570 Al with a chemical composition of Al-6%Mg-0.5%Mn-0.2%Sc-0.07%Zr (in wt. %) and ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure produced by equal channel angular pressing at 300°C to a true strain ~12 was studied after final cold or warm rolling. The tensile specimens were machined along rolling direction and pulled up to failure in the temperature range of 250 to 500°C at strain rates ranging from 10-4 s-1 to 10-1 s-1. The specimens produced by warm or cold rolling exhibit different superplastic behavior. The material subjected to warm rolling exhibits excellent superplastic properties; the highest elongation-to-failure of ~1970% was recorded at a temperature of ~450°C and an initial strain rate of 1.4×10-1 s-1. On the other hand, the material subjected to cold rolling demonstrates moderate superplastic properties; the highest elongation-to-failure of ~755% appears at a temperature of ~300°C and an initial strain rate of 1.4×10-2 s-1.

Main Pattern

Deformation behavior of a commercial TC6 titanium alloy at elevated temperature has been investigated using isothermal tension tests. By SEM, the fracture mechanism has been analyzed through the morphologies of failure surface. The superplasticity of the TC6 titanium alloy improves with an increase of deformation temperature and a decrease of initial strain rate. The optimal process parameters are the combination of 950 c o and 0.001s-1, and the limit elongation could reach 267%. The tough fracture is main pattern in the failure of the TC6 titanium alloy. The fracture begins at the boundaries between the matrix and the impurity, and it presents the much more tough fracture characteristic with an increase of deformation temperature and a decrease of initial strain rate.
