The effect of directional grain structure and strain rate on the impact properties and dislocation substructure of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy is studied. Impact tests are performed at strain rates ranging from 1x103 to 5x103s-1 using a split Hopkinson pressure bar system. Cylindrical specimens are prepared from the rolled plates in longitudinal direction, transverse direction and through-thickness direction, respectively. The results show that the flow stress is strongly dependent on the strain rate and displays complex variations with grain structure direction. The flow stress increases with increasing strain rate. For all tested strain rates, the flow stress is the highest in the transverse specimen, followed by the through-thickness specimen and longitudinal specimen. However, at the strain rate of 5x103s-1, the flow stress in longitudinal specimen is higher than that in through-thickness specimen due to the change of dislocation multiplication rate. The plastic flow occurs within the deformation regions, and becomes more pronounced at high strain rates, especially for the longitudinal specimen. Dislocation density increases markedly with increasing strain rate. Strengthening effect is the highest in the transverse specimen, followed by the longitudinal specimen and through-thickness specimen.

Abstract This study investigates the dynamic response of AA2519 aluminum alloy in T6 temper condition during plastic deformation at high strain rates. The aim was to determine how the T6 temper condition affects the flow stress response, strength properties and microstructural morphologies of the alloy when impacted under compression at high strain rates. The specimens (with aspect ratio, L/D = 0.8) of the as-cast alloy used were received in the T8 temper condition and further heat-treated to the T6 temper condition based on the standard ASTM temper designation procedures. Split-Hopkinson pressure bar experiment was used to generate true stress-strain data for the alloy in the range of 1000–3500 /s strain rates while high-speed cameras were used to monitor the test compliance with strain-rate constancy measures. The microstructures of the as received and deformed specimens were assessed and compared for possible disparities in their initial microstructures and post-deformation changes, respectively, using optical microscopy. Results showed no clear evidence of strain-rate dependency in the dynamic yield strength behavior of T6-temper designated alloy while exhibiting a negative trend in its flow stress response. On the contrary, AA2519-T8 showed marginal but positive response in both yield strength and flow behavior for the range of strain rates tested. Post-deformation photomicrographs show clear disparities in the alloys’ initial microstructures in terms of the second-phase particle size differences, population density and, distribution; and in the morphological changes which occurred in the microstructures of the different materials during large plastic deformation. AA2519-T6 showed a higher susceptibility to adiabatic shear localization than AA2519-T8, with deformed and bifurcating transformed band occurring at 3000 /s followed by failure at 3500 /s.

The deformation behavior of 1565ch alloy under the plane-strain conditions in the temperature range of 350–490 оС and strain rates range of 0,1–10 s-1 is studied. The expression for steady flow stress as the functions of temperature of deformation and strain rate is obtained. It is established that 1565ch alloy with zirconium addition shows higher strain resistance and less tendency to dynamic and static recrystallization than AMg6.

Isothermal Compression

The deformation behavior of 2519 aluminum alloy was studied by isothermal compression by Gleeble-1500 simulator in the temperature range from 300 to 450°C under the strain rates of 0.01~10s-1. The results showed that the flow stress was controlled by strain rate and deformation temperature. The flow stress increased with strain rate and decreased with deformation temperature. The flow stress of 2519 aluminum alloy increased with strain and to the constant values at three strain rates of 0.01 s-1,0.1 s-1and1 s-1, indicating the dynamic recovery to occur. The flow stress decreased after a peak value with increase of strain at strain rate 10s-1 and deformation temperature higher than 350°C, showing partly dynamic recrystallization. The flow stress of 2519 aluminum alloy during high temperature deformation can be represented by Zener-Hollomon parameter.

The flow behavior of a 7039 aluminum alloy and the corresponding microstructural evolution during hot deformation were studied by Gleeble-1500 thermal simulation tests, EBSD and TEM observations with temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 500 °C under strain rates from 0.01 s-1 to 10 s-1. It has been shown that the flow stress increases with the decrease in the deformation temperature and increase in the strain rate. The degree of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) increases with the increase in the deformation temperature and strain rate in 7039 aluminum alloy. The complete dynamic recrystallization occurs at 500 °C with a strain rate of 10 s-1.

The hot deformation behaviors of Aluminum alloy C919 were studied in the present investigation. The hot compression tests for C919 were carried out in the temperature range of 350°C~470°C and strain rates range of 0.001s-1~1s-1 using GLEEBLE-1500 thermal simulate testing machine. Optical microscopy (OM) was used for the microstructure characterization. The experimental results showed that the flow stress of C919 aluminum alloy decreased with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rates and the flow stress curves tended to increase at a strain rate of 1s-1 with increasing strain, while the flow stresses kept with increasing strain at lower strain rate. The alloys were more prone to dynamic recrystallization with decreasing strain rates during hot deformation. The hot compression behavior of C919 aluminum alloy can be described as hyperbolic sine function corrected Arrhenius relation. The processing maps for the alloy were built at a strain of 0.6. The instability deformation domain occurred at temperatures range from 350°C and 380°C and at a strain rate of 0.1-1s-1. Based on the processing maps and microstructure observations, the optimum hot-working parameters were determined to be at a temperature of 470°C in the strain rate range from 0.1-0.01s−1 for the C919 aluminum alloy.

The deformation behavior and microstructure of 6069 aluminum alloy have been studied by isothermal compression at temperature ranging from 300°C to 450°C on Gleeble-1500 machine at strain rates from 0.01 to 10s-1. The results show that the deformation temperature and strain rate is essential to the flow characteristic, and the main deformation mechanism for 6069 aluminum alloy is dynamic recovery at low strain rates. The dynamic recrystallization take place at the strain rates of 10s-1 and deformation temperature ranges of 300~350°C. At constant strain rate, the flow stress and steady-state flow stress decrease with deformation temperature increasing. While at constant temperature, the flow stress and steady-state flow stress increase with increasing strain rate. The processing map at the strain of 0.7 is obtained and the map exhibits two safe deformation domains (300~350°C at 1~10s-1 and 380~450°C at 0.01~0.3s-1).
