Technical Basis

This paper describes a new modification of equal-channel angular extrusion for the “pass-by-pass” semi-continuous (sc-ECAE) processing of lightweight alloys. Sc-ECAE leads to a multifold increase in productivity and decrease in costs, providing a technical basis for the commercialization of severe plastic deformation (SPD) on a large scale with massive volume production. The evolution of the structure and properties are analyzed for an aluminum alloy (AA) 5083 and a magnesium alloy AZ31 as model materials representing, respectively, the structural refinement under severe plastic deformation (SPD) via strain-induced formation of new grain boundaries and via dynamic recrystallization. For the first alloy, the microstructure after sc-ECAE is formed via ultrafine sub-grains, which are further transformed into sub-micrometer grains during post-ECAE rolling. The preliminary solution treatment of AA5083 is an important stabilizing factor for the achievement of high mechanical properties. For the second alloy, optimized sc-ECAE results in a remarkable structural refinement, and a good balance of properties is obtained with a low number of passes. However, additional rolling in the latter case leads to a degradation of the structure and properties.

Abstract Due to demand of strong toughness of thin walled tube, and good secondary forming properties and high-precision dimension, New plastic forming method should be researched to achieve a complete filling, uniform deformation and microstructure evolution during forming process.To obtain the deformation mechanisms of a new composite extrusion for thin walled tube fabricated by tube corrugated equal channel angular extrusion has been researched which is shorten as “TC-ECAE” in this paper. Finite element DEFORMTM-3D software to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of magnesium billet during TC-ECAE process has been employed. Computed parameters including workpiece material characteristics and process conditions have been taken into consideration. The pridictions of strains distributions and damage distributions and effective stress distributions and flow velocities distributions and microstructures evolutions have been explored. The results proved that the TC-ECAE process is a forming method for magnesium alloy tube which is suitable for large scale industrial application. The TC-ECAE process would cause serve plastic deformation and improve the dynamic recrystallization of magnesium alloy during TC-ECAE process.

Significant Step

Equal Channel Angular Extrusion is a widely adopted severe plastic deformation process capable of imparting large amounts of strain in a material via multiple passes through the die. In order to facilitate reinsertion of worked bars for multipass processing, reshaping is often required. Although this topic is rarely discussed in the literature, it is a significant step that can influence processing efficiency. This paper presents several reshaping options and makes recommendations for method selection based on the authors’ experiences with each.

Over recent years, some severe plastic deformation processes have been developed with the aim of obtaining a material with sub-micrometric or even nanometric grain size, such as: ECAE (Equal channel angular extrusion) and HPT (High pressure torsion) among many others. The main aim of this present study is to analyse the upsetting of the 5083 Al-Mg-Mn alloy, which had been previously deformed by ECAE. Different processing temperatures will be used and the final properties of the resulting material will be determined.

Extrusion Method

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is one of the processes used to refine the microstructure of materials. Equal Channel Angular Extrusion (ECAE) is the most common method of SPD. In this study, AL-6063grain refinement was performed using the Equal Channel Angular Extrusion method. The material was extruded up to 6 passes at a temperature of 200°C following route A. A suitable die sets equipped with heating elements alongside a thermometer was employed with the intention of extruding the material. Between the two channels, there was an angle of 90°. The results showed that the material grain average diameter decreased from 45μm to 2.8 μm after 6 passes of the ECAE. The Charpy test was used for measuring the fracture energy of various samples. The fracture toughness was the function of this energy. According to this experiment, the fracture toughness rose as the number of the ECAE process elevated. Moreover, the toughness improved for 90% after 6 passes of the ECAE process.

Angular Extrusion

Planar twist channel angular extrusion (PTCAE) is a new severe plastic deformation method to produce bulk ultra-fine-grained materials which is based on conventional equal channel angular extrusion by applying additional planar twist strain in deformation zone of ECAP process and simultaneously imposing larger strain and increasing severe plastic deformation methods efficiency. Plastic deformation characteristics of PTCAE method were analyzed through finite element analysis using Deform 3D V.5 software, processing loads and values of effective strain in different directions of sample were studied for different planar twist angles (α) in comparison with the results of conventional ECAP with the same channel dimension and arc of curvature angles. Die and punch were assumed as rigid bodies, whereas the billet, with dimensions of 10 mm × 10 mm × 70 mm was considered to be deformable pure aluminum. The processing conditions such as friction coefficient, ram speed, mesh size and other factors were held constant to make comparison between the different processing conditions possible. The results indicated that more strain values with more uniform distribution may be achieved after PTCAE method in comparison with the conventional ECAP method. Also, it is observed that in α = 20, the equivalent strain distribution is homogenous approximately in both of vertical and horizontal directions of the cross-section of the sample. Therefore, PTCAE can be considered as a promising severe plastic deformation technique for future industrial applications which can be installed on any standard extrusion equipment without any additional required facilities that are essential in other new severe plastic deformation methods and can be used instead of ECAP process significantly and beneficially.
