Annealing Effects in Nanograined Al-Cu-Mg Alloy Processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing
Keyword(s):
Mg Alloy
◽
The microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated in an industrial Al-Cu-Mg alloy processed by Equal Channel Angular Pressing ECAP and heating. The die used is formed by two channels intersecting at an angle 90°. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and orientation (ASTAR) imaging were used in addition to hardness measurements. After heating, a sub-micron grain size is retained. In addition, a further hardening is observed due to secondary precipitation. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed that the activation energy of θ’ precipitation is strongly lowered after ECAP.
