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%.

The superplastic behaviour of an Al-4.6%Mg-0.35%Mn-0.2%Sc-0.09%Zr alloy was studied in the temperature range 250-500°C at strain rates ranging from 10-4 to 10-1 s-1. The AA5024 was subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 300°C up to ~12. The highest elongation-to-failure of ∼3300% was attained at a temperature of 450°C and an initial strain rate of 5.6×10-1 s-1. Regularities of superplastic behaviour of the 5024 aluminium alloy are discussed.

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.

The superplastic properties and microstructural evolution of a commercial Al-4.4%Cu-0.5%Mg-0.4%Mn-0.5%Ag-0.1%Ti alloy were examined under tension at temperatures ranging from 450 to 520°C and strain rates ranging from 6.9x10-5 to 6.9x10-2s-1. The refined microstructure with an average grain size of about 11m was produced in thin sheets by a commercially viable thermomechanical process. The highest elongation to failure of 540% was attained at a temperature of 500°C and an initial strain rate of 6.9x10-4 s-1 with the corresponding strain rate sensitivity coefficient of 0.55. The microstructural evolution during superplastic deformation of the aluminum alloy has been studied quantitatively. Processing at temperatures above 475°C and strain rate below 1.4x10-3s-1 resulted in fracturing almost without necking with cavitation playing a major role in the failure. In contrast, at low temperatures and/or high strain rates, fracture occurred in a ductile manner by localized necking. The relationship between superplastic ductility and microstructural evolution is analyzed.

In this paper, the effects of temperature and initial strain rate on the superplasticity of as-received Ti2AlNb alloy were studied by uniaxial tensile tests. Temperature from 870°C to 1030°C with an interval of 40°C and initial strain rate range of 10-2s-1to 10-4s-1were selected. The optimal superplasticity of 190.3% was obtained at 990°C with initial strain rate of 10-3s-1. The superplastic properties were deteriorated at 1030°C due to serious grain coarsening. In order to improve superplastic properties, the as-received alloy was hydrogenated with different hydrogen contents. It was found that hydrogen addition can significantly decrease flow stress and increase elongation. A higher elongation occurs at 910°C in hydrogenated alloy.

Cold and hot Equal-Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) is an effective method to refine metallic grains. In this paper, superplastic properties of 1933 aluminium alloy were evaluated and the effect of hot ECAP on grain refinement and superplasticity was investigated. The testing results show that the refinement of grains can not be infinitely increased with the increasing of ECAP passes (or total strain). Under the isothermal ECAP conditions of the present study, optimum ECAP passes for 1933 alloy are 4 passes. The grain size of 1933 alloy was refined from 20~50μm to 7~12μm by means of ECAP for 4 passes at 300°C (route Bc), so its superplasticity was improved. Compared with original samples annealed at 400°C, the superplastic elongation of samples processed by ECAP for 4 passes increases by a factor of 130% about, and the range of superplastic temperature varies from 140°C to 210°C. The optimal superplastic temperature and initial strain rate is 510°C and 3.3×10-4s-1 individually, at which the elongation reaches 262% and the flow stress is 7.8MPa only. In a word, 1933 aluminium alloy can present more excellent superplasticity in wide range of superplastic temperature and strain rate.

Dynamic and quasi-static tensile tests of 5083P-O aluminium alloy were carried out using RPL100 electronic creep/fatigue testing machine and the split Hopkinson tension bar, respectively. The dynamic constitutive relation of the material at high strain rates was studied, and the constitutive model in accordance with Cowper–Symonds form was established. At the same time, a method to describe the constitutive relation of material using the strain rate interpolation method which is included in LS-DYNA software was proposed. The advantages and accuracy of this method were verified by comparing the results of the finite element simulation with the fitting results of the Cowper-Symonds model. The influence of material strain rate effect on squeezing force, energy absorption and deformation mode of the squeezing energy-absorbing structure based on the constitutive models of 5083P-O were studied by means of finite element simulation. The results show that when the strain rate of the structure deformation is low, the material strain rate strengthening effect has little influence on the structure. However, with the increase of the strain rate, the strengthening effect of the material will improve the squeezing force and the energy absorption of the structure, and will also influence the deformation mode, that is, the decrease of the deformation with high strain rates while the increase of the deformation with low strain rates.

Mg96Zn2Y2 (at.%) extruded alloy was fabricated by hot-extrusion of the Mg96Zn2Y2 machined chip. The Mg96Zn2Y2 extruded alloy consisted of a long period stacking ordered (LPSO)-, Mg3Zn3Y2- and Mg- phases. The Mg phase with mean grain size of 450 nm was confirmed by TEM. However, the LPSO- and Mg3Zn3Y2- phases had relatively large grain size compared with Mg phase. The Mg96Zn2Y2 extruded alloy also showed superplasticity at temperatures of 623 K and 723 K with initial strain rates from 2×10−1 s−1 to 2×10−3 s−1. The maximum elongation of 450 % was achieved at 723 K with an initial strain rate of 2×10−3 s−1. From TEM observation, it is considered that grain boundary sliding of Mg grains was dominant deformation mechanism of the Mg96Zn2Y2 extruded alloy at high temperature range.

Effect of one-step and two-step homogenization treatment on precipitation of Al3(Sc,Zr) dispersoids, grain structure after annealing of cold rolled sheets and superplastic behaviour of a novel Al-Mg based alloy were studied. Heterogeneous nucleation of Al3(Sc,Zr) phase on dislocations and subboundaries dominated at one-step annealing and both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation of Al3(Sc,Zr) were observed at two-step annealing modes. It was shown that two-step treatment mode provides high density of Al3(Sc,Zr) precipitates and 650 % of elongation at the constant strain rate of 10-2 s-1 in the studied alloy.
