Materials with ultrafine grain structure and unique physical and mechanical properties can be obtained by methods of severe plastic deformation, which include asymmetric rolling processes. Asymmetric rolling is a very effective way to create ultrafine grain structures in metals and alloys. Since the asymmetric rolling is a continuous process, it has great potential for industrial production of ultrafine grain structure sheets. Basic principles of asymmetric rolling are described in detail in scientific literature. Focus in the well-known works is on the possibility to control the structure of metal sheets. However the systematic data on the influence of the process parameters (e.g., ratio of rolls velocity mismatch, reduction per pass, friction and diameter of rolls), and the shear strain rate required to achieve a significant grain refinement in asymmetric rolling are lacking. The influence of ratio of rolls velocity mismatch, reduction per pass, friction and the rolls diameter on the distribution of shear strain through the sheet thickness in asymmetric rolling has been studied in DEFORM 2D. The results of the study will be useful for the research of evolution of ultrafine grain structure in asymmetric rolling.

Investigations of mechanical properties of nanocrystalline (nc) materials are still in interest of materials science, because they offer wide application as structural materials thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties. NC materials demonstrate superior hardness and strength as compared with their coarse grained counterparts, but very often they possess a limited ductility or show low uniform elongation due to poor strain hardening ability. Here, we present the results of investigation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of nc Pd and Pd-x%Ag (x=20, 60) alloys. The initially coarse grained Pd-x% Ag samples were processed by high pressure torsion, which resulted in formation of homogenous ultrafine grain structure. The increase of Ag contents led to the decrease of the resulted grain size and change in deformation behavior, because of decreasing of stacking fault energy (SFE). The samples with larger Ag contents demonstrated the higher values of hardness, yield stress and ultimate stress. Remarkably the uniform elongation had also increased with increase of strength.

Severe Plastic Deformation (SPD) processes are for developing ultrafine grained (UFG) structured materials for different Industrial applications. Cyclic Constrained Groove Pressing (CCGP) is a technique, produce fine grained structures in metallic sheets or plates in mass production. The objective of research work is to investigate the influence of CCGP processing on the super plastic behaviour of an Aluminium alloy. Samples in “ascast” materials processed by CCGP with as cast, 1, 2, 3 and 4 passes. Processed Material study for microhardness and Tensile strength mechanical properties test were done for different test specimens. Grain refinement, microhardness and Tensile strength increased with the number of CCGP passes.

Heavy deformation plus micro alloying could be an effective way to obtain ultrafine grain structure of metals. In the present work, an Al-Cu-Mg alloy was microalloyed with Zr to obtain homogeneous precipitates and then heavily deformed by conventional forging at high temperature. The possible refining processing routes were studied and the superplasticity behaviors of the alloy was investigated. Results show that the micro alloyed alloy can be stably refined to 3-5μm under conventional processing routes. The Al-3Zr precipitates act both as additional sites to enhance recrystallization nucleation rate and pins to impede grain growth to increase the thermal stability of the fine grain structure. However, as the Al3Zr precipitates remains along grain boundaries, the superplastic capability of the material is not high. At 430°C with 1×10-4S-1 strain rate, the elongation obtained was 260%.

Abstract In the aluminium alloy family, Al-Zn materials with non-standard chemical composition containing Mg and Cu are a new group of alloys, mainly owing to their high strength properties. Proper choice of alloying elements, and of the method of molten metal treatment and casting enable further shaping of the properties. One of the modern methods to produce materials with submicron structure is a method of Rapid Solidification. The ribbon cast in a melt spinning device is an intermediate product for further plastic working. Using the technique of Rapid Solidification it is not possible to directly produce a solid structural material of the required shape and length. Therefore, the ribbon of an ultrafine grain or nanometric structure must be subjected to the operations of fragmentation, compaction, consolidation and hot extrusion. In this article the authors focussed their attention on the technological aspect of the above mentioned process and described successive stages of the fabrication of an AlZn9Mg2.5Cu1.8 alloy of ultrafine grain structure designated for further plastic working, which enables making extruded rods or elements shaped by the die forging technology. Studies described in the article were performed under variable parameters determined experimentally in the course of the alloy manufacturing process, including casting by RS and subsequent fragmentation.

The article presents the change in mechanical properties of AlZn9Mg2.5Cu1.8 alloy resulting from the process of solution heat treatment and aging. The heat treatment was performed on a unique UMSA (Universal Metallurgical Simulator and Analyzer) device. The aim of the study was to determine optimum heat treatment parameters for the tested alloy of ultrafine grain structure obtained by Rapid Solidification (RS). To achieve this purpose, heat treatment to the T4 and T6 condition was carried out. The solution heat treatment was carried out at a constant temperature of 460 °C for 2 hours, while the time - temperature parameters of the aging process varied. The treatment undertaken resulted in improved mechanical properties.
