Radial Shear Rolling

Improving the quality of hardware through the improvement of the microstructure is one of the main trends of modern metallurgy. This approach allows us to achieve special properties without the expense of expensive alloying additives. The basic idea is to grind the grain structure of the material to a size less than 1 μm. At the specified grain sizes, the hardening properties begin to manifest with a relatively small loss of plasticity. In this case, one can speak of ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials. This direction is especially important for areas of science and technology, where there are very strict requirements for the size and weight of parts with their high strength. These are aerospace engineering and medicine (implantology and orthopedics). Therefore, it makes sense to conduct research primarily on relevant materials. Titanium is known for its biological inertness, therefore it is the basis for prosthetics. In this work, the experiments on technically pure titanium using a technology close to industrial implementation, were performed. An experiment, in which a lengthy number billet at a temperature of 500 °C rolled from a diameter of 30 mm to a diameter of 15 mm in the mill SVP-08, was conducted. After that, the billet was cooled with water, and samples for studying the microstructure and samples for studying the mechanical properties, were prepared. Analysis of the microstructure showed the presence of an equiaxial ultrafine-grained structure in the peripheral areas of the work-piece and the presence of an elongated fibrous texture in the axial zone. The strength of the work-piece has increased by more than 1.5 times, while the plasticity has decreased not so much.

Stainless Austenitic Steel

Improving the quality of metal products by crushing of the microstructure of material is one of the promising areas of modern metallurgy. The basic idea consists in refinement the grain structure of the material to sizes less than a micron, i.e. the obtaining of ultrafine-grained (UFG) materials, offering higher strength properties of the material under preservation or a small loss of ductility. Stainless austenitic steel AISI 321 is widely used in all the above areas as well as in chemical, vacuum and nuclear technology. For the obtaining of UFG structure in this material the method of radial-shear rolling is used. For the purpose of identifying the influence of radial-shear rolling on microstructure and mechanical properties of stainless austenitic steel AISI-321, the experiment was conducted where at the radial-shear rolling mill SVP-08 at 800 °C in several passes of the workpieces with a diameter of 30 mm rolled till a diameter of 13 mm with following cooling in water. The analysis of the microstructure of deformed samples showed the presence of equiaxed ultrafine-grained structure in the peripheral areas of the workpiece and the presence of elongated fibrous texture in the axial zone. The strength characteristics of the workpiece has increased more than 2 times, with a slight decrease of plasticity.

Accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) process is one of the severe plastic deformation processes for fabricating ultrafine grained materials that exhibit high strength. In aluminum alloys, aging heat treatment has been an important process for hardening materials. In order to achieve good mechanical properties through the combination of grain refinement hardening and precipitation hardening, an Al-4.2wt%Ag binary alloy was used in the present study. After a solution treatment at 550°C for 1.5hr, the alloy was severely deformed by the ARB process at room temperature (RT) up to 6 cycles (equivalent strain of 4.8). The specimens ARB-processed by various cycles (various strains) were subsequently aged at 100, 150, 200, 250°C, and RT. The hardness of the solution treated (ST) specimen increased by aging. On the other hand, hardness of the ARB processed specimen decreased after aging at high temperatures such as 250°C. This was probably due to coarsening of precipitates or/and matrix grains. The specimen aged at lower temperature showed higher hardness. The maximum harnesses achieved by aging for the ST specimen, the specimens ARB processed by 2 cycles, 4 cycles and 6 cycles were 55HV, 71HV, 69HV and 65HV, respectively. By tensile tests it was shown that the strength increased by the ARB process though the elongation decreased significantly. However, it was found that the tensile elongation of the ARB processed specimens was improved by aging without sacrificing the strength. The results suggest that the Al-Ag alloy having large elongation as well as high strength can be realized by the combination of the ARB process for grain refinement and the subsequent aging for precipitation hardening.

Ultrafine Grain Structure

Investigations of mechanical properties of nanocrystalline (nc) materials are still in interest of materials science, because they offer wide application as structural materials thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties. NC materials demonstrate superior hardness and strength as compared with their coarse grained counterparts, but very often they possess a limited ductility or show low uniform elongation due to poor strain hardening ability. Here, we present the results of investigation of the microstructure and mechanical properties of nc Pd and Pd-x%Ag (x=20, 60) alloys. The initially coarse grained Pd-x% Ag samples were processed by high pressure torsion, which resulted in formation of homogenous ultrafine grain structure. The increase of Ag contents led to the decrease of the resulted grain size and change in deformation behavior, because of decreasing of stacking fault energy (SFE). The samples with larger Ag contents demonstrated the higher values of hardness, yield stress and ultimate stress. Remarkably the uniform elongation had also increased with increase of strength.

AbstractThe article focuses on the Direct Drive Rotary Friction Welding of ultrafine-grained copper rods, which feature increased mechanical properties and good electrical properties, yet are limited in size. The use of UFG metals is often limited by the too small dimensions of semi-finished elements produced by SPD methods. Therefore, the production of finished machine parts from UFG metals is currently economically unjustified. Dismissal of dimensional limitations can be done by introducing joining to technological processes. The proposed joining method does not lead to a melting of the material in the joining zone or excessive degradation of the UFG microstructure. To obtain the best results, the research used the method of low-energy welding of two kinds of specimens: with a flat or a conical contact surface. In the article, the authors present, by means of metallographic microsections and microhardness measurements, the influence of rotational speed, welding pressure and conical shape contact surface on the quality of the obtained joints. The conducted research made it possible to obtain good quality joints whose microhardness is reduced only by about 10% in comparison with the base material and the tensile strength dropped from only 397–358 MPa.

Purpose: At present, materials research in the area of SPD (severe plastic deformation) processes is very intensive. Materials processed by these techniques show better mechanical properties and have finer grain when compared to the input feedstock. The refined microstructure may be ultrafine-grained or nanostructured, where the grain size becomes less than 100 nm. One of the materials used for such processes is CP (commercially pure) titanium of various grades, which is widely used for manufacturing dental implants. The article deals with one of the technologies available for the production of ultrafine-grained titanium: Conform technology. CP titanium processed by CONFORM technology exhibits improved mechanical properties and very favourable biocompatibility, due to its fine-grained structure. The article presents the current experience in the production of ultrafine CP titanium using this technology. The main objective of this article is describing the behaviour of CP titanium during forming in the Conform device and its subsequent use in dental implantology. Design/methodology/approach: In the present study, commercially pure Grade 2 titanium was processed using the CONFORM machine. The numerical simulation of the process was done using FEM method with DEFORMTM software. The evaluation was performed by simple tensile testing and transmission electron microscopy. The first conclusions were derived from the determined mechanical properties and based on analogies in available publications on a similar topic. Findings: This study confirmed that the SPD process improves mechanical properties and does not impair the ductility of the material. The CONFORM process enables the continuous production of ultrafine-grained or nanostructured materials. Research limitations/implications: At the present work, the results show the possible way of continuous production of ultrafine-grained or nanostructured materials. Nevertheless, the further optimization is needed in order to improve the final quality of wires and stabilize the process. As these factors will be solved, the technology will be ready for the industry. Practical implications: The article gives the practical information about the continuous production of ultrafine-grained pure titanium Grade 2 and the possibility of use this material for dental implants. Originality/value: The present paper gives information about the influence of the CONFORM technology on final mechanical and structural properties with the emphasis on technological aspects

The paper reports on the effect of severe plastic deformation on mechanical properties of an Al-4.57Mg-0.35Mn-0.2Sc-0.09Zr (in wt. pct.) alloy processed by equal channel angular pressing followed by cold rolling (CR). The sheets of the 5024 alloy with coarse grained (CG) structure exhibited a yield stress (YS) near 410 MPa and an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of 480 MPa, while the YS and UTS of this material with ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure increased to 530 and 560 MPa, respectively. On the other hand, the elongation to failure decreased by a factor of 2 and 4 after CR and CR following ECAP, respectively. It was shown that dislocation strengthening attributed to extensive CR plays a major role in achieving high strength of this alloy. Besides these macroscopic characteristics, jerky flow caused by the Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) instability of plastic deformation was examined. The formation of UFG structure results in a transition from mixed type A+B to pure type B PLC serrations. No such effect on the serrations type was observed after CR.

Abstract The study of microstructure and mechanical properties formation of A2024 alloy obtained by the multipass radial-shear rolling (RSR) method is discussed in this article. FEM simulation was carried out that made it possible to evaluate the influence degree of rolling temperature-velocity parameters on the strain state of material. It has been found the increase in rotary velocity of rolls significantly influences on the deformation heating of bar after RSR (predominantly in its surface layer). The combination of rolling temperature-velocity conditions at selection of deformation regime has complex effect on structure and properties formation. The analysis of sizes and distribution of phase particles has shown that the rolling at lower temperatures allowed to increase the mechanical strength due to the more intensive refinement of undissolved Fe-containing phase. The gradual decrease in the rolling temperature in each pass makes possible to achieve the high strength (UTS~430 MPa and YS~255 MPa) while maintaining the ductility level ~15%, that are comparable to ones obtained at some severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods.

The Relationship

Increasing demands on vehicle safety and weight reduction in the automotive industry lead to an increased use of “advanced high strength steels” for car body manufacturing purposes. Mentioned material grades are having high levels of tensile strength and are often used in conventional sheet metal forming processes. One of the most significant factors on quality of stamped components as well as its manufacturing process robustness is the friction between tool and sheet material. During the deep drawing process, superposition of tensile stresses is causing enlargement of the sheet surface by a few percent. This effect can damage the zinc layer. Due to that fact, lubricant has to keep tool and work piece separated in order to prevent adhesion and abrasion. For that very reason, sufficient amount of lubricant has to be applied onto the surface texture reservoirs. Furthermore, the viscosity of lubricant is mainly influencing its ability of wetting the surface. The aim of this study is to define the relationship between friction coefficient, surface enlargement and lubrication having different viscosities. In this investigation the same amount of lubricant with viscosity of ϑ=65 mm2/s, ϑ=200 mm2/s and ϑ=400 mm2/s was applied on strips made out of DP1000 and DC04 steel. Then, the strips were stretched uniaxially, and restraining forces were measured by strip draw test considering constant surface pressure and drawing speed. In this paper, the correlation between friction coefficient, viscosity and surface enlargement for two different sheet material grades is shown.
