Superplastic Properties

The commercial Al-5.4Mg-0.2Sc-0.1Zr alloy was subjected to equal-channel angular pressing at 300°C to a true strain ~12 followed by cold rolling to a total thickness reduction of 80%. The ultrafine-grained sheets were joined by friction stir welding (FSW). To evaluate superplastic properties of the weldments, the tensile samples including all of the characteristic FSW microstructural zones were machined perpendicular to the welding direction and pulled up to failure in the temperature range of 400 to 500°C and at strain rates of 2.8×10-4 s-1 to 5.6×10-1 s-1. The friction-stir welded material exhibited excellent superplastic properties. The highest elongation-to-failure of ~1370% was recorded at a temperature of ~450°C and an initial strain rate of 5.6×10-2 s-1, where the strain rate sensitivity coefficient was about 0.64. The relationship between superplastic ductility and microstructure is discussed.

Superplasticity and microstructural evolution of a commercial Al-5.4%Mg-0.5%Mn-0.1%Zr alloy subjected to severe plastic deformation through equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent rolling was studied in tension at strain rates ranging from 1.4×10-4 to 5.6×10-2 s-1 in the temperature interval 400-550°C. The alloy had an unrecrystallized microstructure with an average crystallite size less than 5 m. The alloy exhibited the yield strength of ~370 MPa, ultimate strength of ~450 MPa and elongation-to-failure of ~15% at ambient temperature. In spite of small crystallite size the alloy shows moderate superplastic properties. The highest elongation-to-failures of ~450% appeared at a temperature of ~500°C and an initial strain rate of ~1.4×10-3 s-1, where the strain rate sensitivity coefficient, m, is of about 0.57.

Superplastic Properties

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.

<p>Magnesium based alloy containing 9 wt. % Li, 1,5 wt. % Al, composed of a + b (hcp + bcc) phases was cast under argon atmosphere and extruded at 350<sup>o</sup>C. Up to 3 passes of Twist Channel Angular Pressing TCAP deformation was applied at 160<sup>o</sup>C. TCAP tool consisted of helical part in horizontal area of the channel with angle of lead γ = 30° to simulate back pressure. The initial grain size of hexagonal a phase estimated at 30 mm decreased in following passes down to 6 mm and that of bcc b phase decreased after TCAP from initial 12 mm down to 5 mm. TEM studies after TCAP passes showed higher dislocation density in the b region than in the a phase. Crystallographic relationship (001) a || (110) b indicated parallel positioning of slip planes of both phases. Electron diffraction confirmed increase of grain misorientation with number of TCAP passes. Stress/strain curves measured at temperature 200<sup>o</sup>C showed superplastic forming after 1<sup>st</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass. Values of strain rate sensitivity coefficient <em>m</em> were calculated at 0.31 after 1 TCAP pass and increased after 3<sup>rd</sup> TCAP pass up to 0.47 for the strain rate range 10<sup>-5</sup> – 5 10<sup>-4</sup>. Increase of number of TCAP passes had positive effect on superplastic properties due to finer grains and increase of their misorientation;</p>

Superplastic Properties

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.

Average Size

The ultrafine grained (UFG) structure with an average size of ∼0.8 μm was produced in an Al-Li-Mg-Sc alloy by equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) at 325oC with a total strain of ~16. Superplastic behavior was examined in the temperature range 150-250oC at strain rates ranging from 10-5 to 10-2 s-1. A maximum elongation-to-failure of 440% was recorded at 175oC (~0.5 Tm, where Tm is the melting point) and a strain rate of 2.8×10-5 s-1 with the corresponded strain rate sensitivity coefficient of 0.32. Mechanisms of low-temperature superplasticity (LTSP) and high-strain-rate superplasticity (HTSP) are essentially the same. The difference between superplastic behaviors at low and high temperatures is attributed to applied stress.

Superplastic Properties

Superplasticity in an Al-6%Cu-0.45%Mg-0.4%Mn-0.16%Sc-0.12%Zr alloy subjected to intense plastic straining through equal-channel angular extrusion (ECAE) was studied in tension at strain rates ranging from 5.6×10-4 to 5.6×10-3 s-1 in the temperature interval 350-450°C. The alloy had a non-uniform microstructure with an average crystallite size of 1.2 m. The volume fraction of high-angle grain boundaries was about 57%. In spite of small crystallite size the alloy shows moderate superplastic properties. The highest elongation-to-failures of 320% appeared at a temperature of ~425°C and an initial strain rate of ~1.410-3 s-1, where the strain rate sensitivity coefficient, m, was about 0.33. The relationship between superplastic ductilities and microstructure stability is analyzed.

Induced Defects

Effect of ultrasonic treatment (UST) with an amplitude of oscillating tension-compression stresses 100 MPa on the characteristics of superplastic deformation of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with an ultrafine grained (UFG) structure processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is studied. During tensile tests at 600°C with initial strain rates in the interval from 10-4 to 10-3 s-1, ultrasonically irradiated samples exhibit a reduced flow stress, higher values of the strain rate sensitivity coefficient and elongation to failure as compared to the samples tested directly after ECAP. Detailed studies of the microstructure of samples subjected to ECAP only and ECAP followed by UST revealed no considerable differences. It is suggested that the UST affected fine structure of the material bringing them to a state with a higher ability of relaxation of deformation-induced defects.
