对AZ31镁合金板材进行不同累积应变的连续弯曲变形及退火处理,随后对显微组织与力学性能的变化进行了研究。结果表明:经不同累积应变的连续弯曲变形后,镁合金板材的显微组织中没有发现孪晶,退火后,板材表层的晶粒异常长大,粗晶层的厚度随着累积应变的增加而增加,并且镁合金板材的织构朝RD方向偏转,偏转角度随累积应变的增加而增大;与原始板材相比,连续弯曲变形及退火处理使镁合金板材呈现出较好的室温成形性能(杯突值由2.3 mm提高到4.9 mm,提高了~113%),这主要归因于基面织构的改善使镁合金板材的r值减小与n值增大。     

Texture Evolution,Formability and Ridging Resistance of a Sn-bearing Ferritic Stainless Steel Under Different Hot Band Annealing Temperatures

The microstructure, texture evolution and spatial orientation distribution during cold rolling and the subsequent annealing as well as formability and ridging of a Sn-bearing ferritic stainless steel under different hot band annealing temperatures were investigated. The four hot bands with annealing temperatures of 900, 950, 1000 and 1050 °C were all cold-rolled to 80% reductions and then were annealed at the same temperature of 900 °C. The results show that optimizing hot band annealing process is benefi cial to reduce the amount of {001} 110 grains and weaken the texture intensity, and thus, to reduce ridging and improve formability. In the present study, the fi nal sheets with hot band annealing temperature of 900 °C possess small and inhomogeneous grains with a large amount of {001} 110 orientations, which deteriorates the formability and increases the ridging. In comparison, the fi nal sheets with hot band annealing temperature of 950 °C are comprised of uniform and equiaxed 111//ND(ND: normal direction) recrystallized grains with a high texture intensity favorable for the improvement in r value and surface quality. However, when hot band annealing temperature further increases to 1000 and 1050 °C, it shows a sharp decrease in r value and a remarkable increase in ridging as a result of a reduction in γ-fi ber texture intensity and an increase in grain size in the fi nal sheets. Suitable controlling and optimizing hot band annealing process is essential to improve the formability and reduce the ridging.

利用十字交叉轧制工艺制备了Mg-1.5Y合金板材,研究了再结晶退火(475℃/15min)对其微观组织、宏观织构、力学性能及成形性能的影响。结果表明,退火促使轧制板材发生强烈的静态再结晶,形成均匀的等轴晶组织。轧制态板材呈现出近圆形-双峰织构分布特征,(0002)面极点由法向(ND)向轧制方向2(RD2)倾转大约±20o;再结晶退火后,基面极点沿轧制交角方向发生劈裂,形成蝴蝶状-多峰弱织构分布特征,且晶粒取向更加随机化,最大极密度由轧制态的5.0降低至2.8。退火态板材的断后伸长率、杯突值分别达到30.5%、4.4mm,相对于轧制态分别提高了63%、42%。     

Microstructures and Formability of the As-Rolled Mg-xZn-0.5Er Alloy Sheets at Room TemperatureEI北大核心CSCD

As lightweight requirements rise in transportation, aerospace, and other industries, magnesium alloys have a great application prospect. However, the low formability capabilities of magnesium alloys lead to a severe limit in applications. At present, there are many reports on the influences of texture and second phases on the formability of magnesium alloys at room temperature. Nevertheless, the dominant factors affecting the formability performance of magnesium alloys at room temperature are not clear. In this study, the development of the microstructures and texture of Mg-xZn-0.5Er (x = 0.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, mass fraction, %) alloy sheets were studied, and the impact of the texture and second phases on the formability of these sheets were also investigated. The findings showed that the increase in Zn addition led to an early and complete dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in Mg-Zn-Er alloys sheets, and these recrystallized grains would expand significantly during subsequent hot rolling processes. These recrystallized grains with a large size were typically elongated and then helped to create a strong basal texture. Thus, it was discovered that the microstructures of these sheets were typically made up of equiaxed and elongated grains. The formability performance of these sheets was strongly related to the size of the second phases and the texture. The formability of the sheets containing microscopic second phases mainly depended on the basal texture, while the formability of the sheets which contained coarse second phases was mostly influenced by the second phases and basal texture. Particularly, when the component of the coarse second was larger, the formability would get more inferior due to the predominant role of the second phase at room temperature.     

Effect of reverse bending on texture,structure, and mechanical properties of sheets of magnesium alloys with zinc and zirconium

Effect of low-cycle room-temperature reverse bending on the crystallographic texture, metallo-graphic structure, and mechanical properties of sheets of ZE10 magnesium alloy after hot rolling and annealing has been studied. The initial texture is characterized by a wide scatter of basal poles in the transverse direction. In the process of reverse bending, the changes in the initial texture and structure (which is represented by equiaxed grains containing twins) lead to regular changes in the anisotropy of mechanical properties.     

冷轧TA5钛合金退火过程的再结晶行为及织构演变

采用电子背散射衍射技术(EBSD)对冷轧及退火态TA5钛合金板材的晶粒尺寸、再结晶及织构进行了表征,并讨论了变形不均匀对再结晶行为及织构演变的影响。结果表明:<0002>//TD取向晶粒比<0002>//ND取向晶粒更容易发生变形,结合hcp结构滑移系统的有限性,共同决定了TA5合金板材冷轧变形具有不均匀性的特点。退火早期再结晶在局部应变大的区域快速形核,且变形量越大,形核数量也越多,再结晶后样品的晶粒尺寸也越小。局部应变大的区域在退火早期以“定向形核”机制快速发生再结晶形核并长大,包括少量剩余的严重变形<0002>//TD取向晶粒;同时,其余应变较低的组织在再结晶形核全过程以“应变诱发晶界迁动形核”机制缓慢形核,这两种机制共同作用导致退火后板材的织构弱化,但仍以冷轧态的基面织构为主。硬度变化曲线可以很好的反映再结晶程度;但受织构影响,不同测试面的硬度值存在显著差异,加载轴与晶体c轴之间的夹角越大,硬度值越小。     

The effect of texture and strain conditions on formability of cross-roll rolled AZ31 alloy

The effect of texture evolution of AZ31 Mg sheet on cross-roll rolling process has been investigated for the commercial AZ31 Mg sheet. The large ?₂₃ was operated for the cross-roll rolled sample throughout the whole thickness, leading to the homogeneity of the (0 0 0 2) basal texture. After recrystallization annealing at 673 K for 30 min, cross-roll rolled sample showed uniform texture intensity from surface layer to middle layer different from the normal-roll rolled sample. An excellent formability of the cross-rolled specimen was achieved due to the developed homogeneity of the texture and microstructure refinement for the cross-roll rolled specimen. The strain conditions of surface and center layers were discussed in terms of experimental evaluations and three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) for conventional rolling and cross-roll rolling.     

Rolling of 316L Stainless Steel with Rough Rolls to Potentially Obtain Superficial Nanograins

316L stainless steel plates of 5-mm thickness, normalized at 900 °C, were cold rolled with different reductions and number of passes using rolls with three different surface roughnesses: grain heights of 0.17 and 0.33 mm and rhomboid-shaped grains of 1.5-mm height. Subsequently, the rolled samples were annealed at 275 °C for 1 h in an effort to achieve superficial nanograins. The plates laminated using low-roughness rolls had continuous superficial microcrystallization when they were rolled for at least 26 passes. For samples made with rougher rolls, the recrystallized superficial grains formed on the surface (sized ~10-15 μm) were smaller than those below the surface; this behavior was caused by the major deformation induced by repeated indentations. The superficial recrystallization of the sample also tended to be more continuous for higher number of passes; micrographs of the penetration profiles of indentation in the samples rolled with high-roughness rolls revealed that a sample rolled 24 times had not yet reached the steady surface topology. As a conclusion, in order to successfully form superficial nanograins, very low-roughness rolls must be used as well as a small absolute reduction per pass, followed by annealing. These rolling conditions generate a continuous field of highly superficial deformations, which act as nucleation centers for nanograins during annealing.     

Effect of Laser Texturing on the Microstructure and Textures of 1050 Aluminum Alloy

To improve the surface morphology, formability, and deep drawing properties of 1050 aluminum alloy sheets, laser-textured rolls were used in cold rolling process. Effects of laser-textured rolls, comparing with conventional ones, on microstructure and texture of aluminum alloys after rolling and following recrystallization were studied. In aluminum sheets processed by laser-textured rolls and conventional rolls, microstructure and texture were similar after rolling, but significantly different after recrystallization. Laser texturing process results in finer and inhomogeneous recrystallized grains. The recrystallization texture of the specimen rolled with conventional roll has a major cube component and a minor R component. The intensity of cube component increases with increasing annealing temperature. However, recrystallization texture of the specimen rolled with laser-textured roller is much more random. The specimen shows that recrystallization texture has only a weak cube orientation but strong rotated-cube orientation as well as a much higher fraction of random orientation.     

Microstructure and texture evolution of AZ31 magnesium alloy during rolling

The production of magnesium alloy sheets normally involves several processing stages including hot rolling,cold rolling and intermediate annealing.The microstructure and texture evolution of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheets in different processing states were investigated by optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction technique.It is found that the microstructure of hot-rolled sheets is dominated by recrystallized equiaxed grains,while that of cold-rolled sheets is dominated by deformation twins.With final annea...     

Excellent room-temperature ductility and formability of rolled Mg-Gd-Zn alloy sheets

In order to develop new magnesium alloy sheets with high formability at room temperature, the microstructure, texture, ductility, and stretch formability of rolled Mg-2%Gd-1%Zn and Mg-3%Gd-1%Zn sheets were investigated. The microstructures of these rolled sheets consist of fine recrystallized grains with a large amount of homogeneously distributed tiny particles in the matrix. The basal plane texture intensity is quite low and the basal pole is tilted by about 30° from the normal direction toward both the rolling direction and the transverse direction. The sheets exhibit an excellent ultimate elongation of ∼50% and a uniform elongation greater than 30%, and the Erichsen values reach ∼8 at room temperature. The flow curves of the two Mg-Gd-Zn alloys sheets display a remarkable linear hardening after an obvious yield point. The majority of the grains in the tilted texture have an orientation favorable for both basal slip and tensile twinning because of a high Schmid factor. The excellent stretch formability at room temperature can be attributed to the non-basal texture and low texture intensity, which led to the following characteristics: a lower 0.2% proof stress, a larger uniform elongation, a smaller Lankford value and a larger strain hardening exponent.

Effect of Pre-stretch Strain at High Temperatures on the Formability of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Sheets

High-temperature pre-stretching experiments were carried out on the AZ31 Mg alloy at 723 K with strain levels of 2.54%, 6.48%, 10.92%, and 19.2% to alter the microstructure and texture for improving room-temperature formability. The results showed that the strain-hardening coefficient increased, while the Lankford value decreased. In addition, the Erichsen values of all pre-stretch sheets were enhanced compared with that of the as-received sheet. The maximum Erichsen value increased from 2.38 mm for the as-received sample to 4.03 mm for the 10.92%-stretched sample, corresponding to an improvement of 69.32%. This improvement was mainly attributed to the gradual increase in grain size, and the (0001) basal texture was weakened due to the activated non-basal slip as the high-temperature pre-stretching strain levels increased. The visco-plastic self-consistent analysis was performed on the as-received and high-temperature pre-stretched samples. Results confirmed the higher activity of the prismatic slip in 10.92%-stretched sample, leading to divergence and weakening of basal texture components. This results in an augmentation of the Schmid factor under different slip systems. Therefore, it can be concluded that high-temperature pre-stretching technology provided an effective method to enhance the formability of Mg alloy sheets.

异步叠轧辅助退火制备超细晶铜材的形成机制及组织控制(英文)

Improvement of stretch formability of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy sheet by high temperature rolling at finishing pass

The effects of increasing rolling temperature from 723 K to 828 K at the last rolling pass on microstructure, texture, mechanical properties and stretch formability of a Mg-3Al-1Zn magnesium alloy previously rolled at 723 K were investigated. In the as-rolled condition, the basal texture strengthens slightly with increasing the rolling temperature whereas it weakens more remarkably after static recrystallization during annealing for the sheets rolled at higher temperatures. Only by increasing the rolling temperature from 723 K to 798 K, the Erichsen value is significantly increased from 4.5 to 8.6 due to the weakened texture for the annealed sheets. Further increasing the last rolling temperature does not appear to further improve the stretch formability.     

Effect of repetitive equal channel angular pressing on microstructural stability of low carbon steel

The microstructure of ultrafine grained low carbon steel processed with repetitive equal channel angular pressing was investigated. A submicron ferrite grain size of ∼0.2 μm was achieved by pressings of up to 12 passes. Microstructural examination by TEM with SAD pattern on the pressed samples revealed the presence of high density dislocations inside the ferrite grains and ill-defined grain boundaries. These features became more significant as the number of pressings increased. The static annealing of the pressed samples at 753 K up to 24 hrs resulted in a recovery which was associated with the absorption of the dislocations by the grain boundaries. However, the recovery was inhibited as the number of pressings increased. The annealing process also led to the precipitation of cementite particles in ferrite colonies. The presence of precipitated particles inside the ferrite grains enhanced the microstructural stability of the low carbon steel at elevated temperatures.     

Influences of Asymmetric Reduction Rolling on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of AZ91

The influence of asymmetric reduction rolling(ARR) on the microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of AZ91 was investigated. The microstructural characteristics of the AZ91 sheet processed by symmetric rolling(SR) were the twins, intersection of twins and dynamic recrystalization(DRX) grains around the coarse grains and within the twins.However, the amount of twins and DRX grains in ARRed AZ91 was much smaller than that in SRed AZ91. The SRed AZ91 after annealing exhibited fine DRX grains and some coarse grains with a size of * 100 lm. The grains in ARRed AZ91 after annealing were much finer and more homogeneous than those in SRed AZ91 after annealing. The intensity of basal texture of ARRed AZ91 after annealing was lower than that of SRed AZ91 rolling after annealing. The average Schmid factor of ARRed AZ91 is 0.34, which is higher than that of SRed AZ91. The yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the ARRed AZ91 sheet were increased to 16.1% and 31.8% compared to SRed AZ91 sheet, from 155 to180 MPa, and from 220 to 290 MPa, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties in ARRed AZ91 after annealing was attributed to much finer, more homogeneous DRX grains and weaker basal texture.     

Influence of trace Ca addition on texture and stretch formability of AM50 magnesium alloy sheet

The AM50, AM50–0.1Ca, AM50–0.3Ca and AM50–0.5Ca (wt.%) alloys were hot-rolled and their mechanical properties were determined for the purpose of investigating the effect of trace Ca addition on the texture and stretch formability of AM50 alloy. The results show that the addition of trace Ca can effectively modify the basal texture, which is characterized by the split of basal poles deviated from the normal direction (ND) after the hot rolling, while a broad spread of the basal planes toward the transverse direction (TD) after the annealing. Such change of the basal texture is related to the prior formation of massive compression twins and the decrease of the c/a ratio. Erichsen value increases from 2.25 to 4.21 mm with the increase of Ca content. The enhancement of stretch formability is ascribed to the weakened basal texture, which results in the increase of n-value and the decrease of r-value.     

Annealing behaviour of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy sheet obtained by a combination of high-temperature rolling and subsequent warm rolling

The recrystallization and grain growth behaviour of Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy sheets with a deformation microstructure, obtained by a combination of high-temperature rolling and subsequent warm rolling, was investigated at different stages of annealing. The basal texture was significantly weakened as a result of the formation of new grains with a largely altered c-axis orientation relative to the initial basal orientation owing to discontinuous static recrystallization during primary recrystallization. The new grains nucleated mostly at the pre-existing grain boundaries rather than at the intersections of twins or within the twins. Subsequent grain growth led to further progression of the texture weakening accompanied by an enhancement in the basal pole inclination.
