Recently, it was reported that Cu-Al alloys of low stacking fault energy (SFE) processed by severe plastic deformation show excellent tensile properties due to TWIP (Twinning induced Plasticity) phenomenon. In this study, Cu-15at% Al sheets were heavily processed by conventional multi-pass cold rolling up to 90% in reduction in thickness without annealing. In order to reveal the change in mechanical properties and the microstructure evolution, tensile test, hardness test, optical microscopy (OM) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) analysis were performed. Deformation twinning due to low SFE is observed even in the case of low reduction in thickness. As the reduction increases, grains are refined by intersections of shear bands. It is found that the balance of strength and elongation of the processed sheets is comparable to those by severe plastic deformation followed by annealing in literature.

Microstructures And Mechanical Properties

The effect of severe plastic deformation at ambient temperature on microstructures and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy 2519 was investigated by means of tensile test, micro-hardness test, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that tensile strength of as-queched 2519 alloy was greatly enhanced to nearly 550MPa (ultimate tensile strength, UTS) and 520MPa (yield strength, YS) by severe cold rolling or equal channel angular processing (ECAP) while the elongation decreased to 5%. The 2519 alloy could obtain quite well mechanical properties as much as 80 % and 12 passes cold rolling deformation. This indicated that pre-deformation by ECAP is effective in improving the mechanical properties of 2519 alloy by grain refinement, strain aging and high density dislocations.

The article represents results of influence of different severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques on TiNi alloys. It is demonstrated that strength and shape memory effect (SME) of TiNi can be significantly enhanced due to formation of ultrafine-grained (UFG) and nanocrystalline (NC) structures by SPD. Influence of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), high pressure torsion (HPT), multi-step SPD deformations (ECAP plus cold rolling) on structure, mechanical and functional properties of TiNi alloys is considered. There are represented first results of influence of equal channel angular pressure-Conform (ECAP-C) on TiNi alloys, which is a perspective technology for industrial fabrication of UFG metals and alloys.

The paper considers changes in microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of commercial titanium with initial coarse-grained structure during cold sheet rolling. It has been shown that rolling above 75% leads to formation of a uniform nanocrystalline (NC) structure with a grain size of approximately 0.2 'm in the sheet material. The sheets have a high level of mechanical properties which is comparable with the properties of bulk specimens of titanium with NC structure produced by some other method of severe plastic deformation.

Angular Pressing

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) using various pass number of Equal Channel Angular Pressing (ECAP) experiment and followed heating at 400°C has been done for rod brass Cu-Zn 70/30 to investigate the operation on microstructure and hardness of the alloy. Optical microscopy and SEM are used to examine the microstructure change. Mechanical testing such as macro and micro hardness test is used in order to examine the change of mechanical properties. The grain structure of the alloy was refined from 34 μm to 2 μm after 4 passes ECAP and increased to 4 μm after post heating. The hardness of the alloy significantly increased from 78 Hv to 235 Hv after 4 passes and decreased to 135 Hv after post heating after ECAP. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy was homogenous after 4 passes ECAP because the strain was found more homogenous.

Cyclic Extrusion Compression

Severe plastic deformation is an effective method for improving the mechanical properties of metallic alloys through promoting the grain structure. In the present work, simple cyclic extrusion compression technique (SCEC) has been developed for producing a fine structure of cast Al-1 wt. % Cu alloy and consequently enhancing the mechanical properties of the studied alloy. It was found that the grain structure was significantly reduced from 1500 µm to 100 µm after two passes of cyclic extrusion. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation to failure of the as-cast alloy were 110 MPa and 12 %, respectively. However, the corresponding mechanical properties of the two pass CEC deformed alloy are 275 MPa and 35%, respectively. These findings ensure that a significant improvement in the grain structure has been achieved. Also, cyclic extrusion deformation increased the surface hardness of the alloy by 49 % after two passes. FE-simulation model was adopted to simulate the deformation behavior of the material during the cyclic extrusion process using DEFORMTM-3D Ver11.0. The FE-results revealed that SCEC technique was able to impose severe plastic strains with the number of passes. The model was able to predict the damage, punch load, back pressure, and deformation behavior.

Beta Titanium Alloy

The present paper analyzed the microstructural characteristics and the mechanical properties of a Ti–Nb–Zr–Fe–O alloy of β-Ti type obtained by combining severe plastic deformation (SPD), for which the total reduction was of etot = 90%, with two variants of super-transus solution treatment (ST). The objective was to obtain a low Young’s modulus with sufficient high strength in purpose to use the alloy as a biomaterial for orthopedic implants. The microstructure analysis was conducted through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) investigations. The analyzed mechanical properties reveal promising values for yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of about 770 and 1100 MPa, respectively, with a low value of Young’s modulus of about 48–49 GPa. The conclusion is that satisfactory mechanical properties for this type of alloy can be obtained if considering a proper combination of SPD + ST parameters and a suitable content of β-stabilizing alloying elements, especially the Zr/Nb ratio.

An aged Al-5Zn-1.6Mg alloy with fine η' precipitates was grain refined to ~100 nm grain size by severe plastic deformation (SPD). Microstructure evolution during SPD and mechanical behaviour after SPD of the alloy were characterized by electron microscopy and tensile, compression as well as nanoindentation tests. The influence of η' precipitates on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained Al-Zn-Mg alloy is discussed with respect to their effect on dislocation configurations and deformation mechanisms during processing of the alloy.
