热轧Mg-1Zn和Mg-1Y合金退火组织演变及静态再结晶行为

对比研究了高温轧制制备的Mg-1.02Zn及Mg-0.76Y(质量分数,%)合金在不同温度退火条件下的组织演变及静态再结晶和晶粒长大动力学行为.结果表明,Mg-1Zn合金的轧制组织以剪切带和孪晶为主,在剪切带和孪晶内伴随着动态再结晶;而Mg-1Y合金的轧制组织中只有孪晶,未观察到剪切带和再结晶发生.退火过程中,Mg-1Zn合金静态再结晶过程主要受控于形核过程,而Mg-1Y合金则既受控于形核过程又受控于长大过程.利用经典的JMAK模型和长大模型分别描述了2种合金热轧制后的静态再结晶和晶粒长大动力学过程,结果表明,静态再结晶过程的Avrami因子n值与理想预测值偏离可能来自于再结晶的不均匀形核.固溶稀土Y原子比Zn原子对晶界移动的拖曳作用更强,导致Mg-1Y合金比Mg-1Zn合金晶粒长大因子n’更高.

分别对不同初始晶粒尺寸的冷轧及冷轧后经回复的纯Ｃｕ进行了激光超快速加热再结晶处理。发现细晶冷轧样品完全再结晶时其织构由立方与冷轧织构组分构成,而粗晶样品为单一的立方织构;经低温回复的样品再结晶后的立方织构强度明显高于未经回复的样品。冷轧样品经短时（≤１１．２５ｍｓ）激光加热。金相组织仍呈冷轧状态,而冷轧织构强度显著降低,未发现立方强构增强。分析认为,在激光加热条件下,再结晶初期各取向晶粒形核机会都

形成锋锐的Goss织构是取向硅钢获得优异磁性能的关键, 初始样品表层中较强的Goss织构对最终的强Goss织构起重要作用. 本文通过改变硅钢冷轧方向获得不同的初始织构及初始组织, 考察热轧板表层及中心层不同的组织及织构的进一步变化对一次冷轧、中间退火、二次冷轧及脱碳退火、二次再结晶退火后的织构及组织变化规律的影响. 探讨了这些特殊方式制备的样品中Goss织构的形成条件. 结果表明, 强烈的初始组织及织构的差异随轧制及退火次数的增多逐渐消失; 最终二次再结晶都可顺利进行, Goss织构及磁性能差异并不大. 虽然初始样品中Goss织构的强弱差异很大, 但因各阶段都可以形成较强的 {111}<112>织构, 弥补了初始样品中Goss织构过弱的不足, 因此轧制方向及初始组织都对最终的织构影响不大. 研究还证实了立方织构的遗传性; 横向轧制是消除稳定的{112}<110>轧制织构的有效方法.

Role of shear band in texture control of Al-Mg alloys

Shear bands formed in Al-Mg alloys during cold rolling are nucleated on grain boundaries. Their mechanism of formation is different from that already proposed in the case of single crystals of the same alloy. Since recrystallized grains of non-cube orientations are nucleated on these shear bands during annealing, the development of cube recrystallization texture can be strongly suppressed by enhancing shear banding during cold rolling. Control of shear band thus provides a new fundamental technological tool to improve drawability of Al alloy sheets. In a microscopic scale, deformation in grain boundary regions also plays here a very important role, as in the case of the formation of {111}uvw recrystallization textures in low carbon steel sheets.     

Manipulating Precipitation Through Thermomechanical Treatment to Control Corrosion Behavior of an Al-Cu-Mg Alloy

Controlling the precipitation through thermomechanical treatment is an important method to improve the corrosion resistance of Al-Cu-Mg alloys. In this study, the corrosion behaviors of Al-Cu-Mg alloys in the solution-treated state and retrogression-treated state under cold rolling deformation and then natural aging were investigated. In the solution-treated series alloys, the cold-rolled deformation improved the resistance to intergranular corrosion by suppressing the precipitation of the S-phase on the grain boundaries. The increased pitting potential and corrosion potential were related to the increased concentration of solute atoms within the grain interiors and the eliminated S-phase on grain boundaries. In the retrogression-treated series alloys, the 30% cold rolling deformation stimulated the growth of the S-phase and transformed the S-phase distribution from discontinuous to continuous on the grain boundaries, thereby changing the pitting corrosion to the network corrosion morphology. The precipitation of the S-phase with large dimension within the grain interiors contributed to the decreased pitting potential and corrosion potential.     

Microstructure and texture evolution of AZ31 magnesium alloy during rolling

Evaluation of microstructure and texture formation during annealing of cold-rolled FeCrCuMnNi multiphase high-entropy alloy

Microstructure and texture variations of a cold-rolled multiphase FeCrCuMnNi high-entropy alloy were studied after different annealing treatments. Samples were heat-treated at different temperatures and for different time, and then, subjected to different tests including XRD and SEM-EBSD. The results reveal that the FCC1 phase, which goes through more strain, has lower melting temperature, and recrystallizes earlier (lower temperature and shorter time). In addition, it is seen that particle stimulated nucleation is more effective on the recrystallization of this phase compared to FCC2 phase. A significant number of FCC1 nuclei form around the BCC particles. Nucleation of FCC2 phase initiated at 800 °C mostly at the grain boundaries and the inhomogeneities. The FCC1 phase was almost fully recrystallized at this temperature. The annealing process led to the elimination of rolling textures, while the Brass component remained a major component in the recrystallized samples. Increasing annealing temperature as well as annealing time led to the formation of Cube texture component, which is a major component of recrystallized low stacking fault energy materials. Furthermore, D and Rt-Co components formed during recrystallization as a result of the formation of annealing twins.     

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.     

Recrystallization in as-cast polycrystalline intermetallic compound Ni3Al

The Ni₃Al-based alloys were hot formed and their dynamic as well as postdynamic recrystallization capability studied. In the as-cast material, the large original grain size and inhomogeneous strain distribution complicate the softening processes. It is very easy to provoke recrystallization in such a material. Strains ranging from 0.05 to 0.2 lead to the nucleation of dynamically recrystallized grains along the primary grain boundaries and twins. On the other hand, to achieve thorough recrystallization is often difficult. It depends chiefly on previous deformation, less on annealing time, temperature or microalloying. In some cases, annealing does not lead to any significant increase of recrystallization fraction but only to the growth of selected grains. The localization of strain plays a dominant role.     

Large strain deformation of Ni3Al+B: Part II. Microstructure and texture evolution during recrystallization

The microstructure evolution and texture development of the intermetallic compound Ni₇₆Al₂₄, doped with minor additions of boron, was investigated during annealing subsequent to cold-rolling. Upon annealing of cold-rolled specimens, a hardness increase prior to recrystallization was observed. This is attributed to a relaxation process of the dislocation cores during annealing. Recrystallization proceeded with very different kinetics locally and a very small recrystallized grain size was obtained. From grain growth kinetics, the activation energy for grain boundary motion was found to be close to the activation energy for self-diffusion of Ni in Ni₃Al. The recrystallization texture was almost random. However, three texture components could be invariably recognized ({013}100, {012}021 and {112}294). They are related by special orientation relationships to the brass rolling orientation. A high frequency of annealing twins occurred in the recrystallized microstructure. The misorientation distribution function (MODF) shows a preference of certain low Σ boundaries, namely small-angle boundaries (Σ1) and twins (Σ3).     

Effects of cold working degrees on grain boundary characters and strain concentration at grain boundaries in Alloy 600

Strain concentration at grain boundaries and grain boundary microstructure in cold worked Alloy 600 were characterized. Excluding the annealing twin boundaries, the base and 20% cold worked alloys exhibited higher random grain boundary fractions than the 8% and 40% cold worked alloys. An increased low angle boundaries and decreased annealing twins were observed with deformation. The 20% cold worked alloy displayed a maximum strain concentration at grain boundaries. The stress corrosion cracking growth in cold worked Alloy 600 in high temperature water showed a strong correlation with the strain concentration at grain boundaries.     

冷轧不同微量化学状态Al-Mn-Fe-Si铝合金的等温退火

通过3种不同热处理工艺使一种Al-Mn-Fe-Si合金获得了不同固溶液和不同尺寸及数量的弥散析出相,包括铸造态,一种富含高密度、细小、弥散相的状态,另外一种状态则仅有少量、相对粗大的弥散相。采用EBSD技术系统研究冷轧后退火过程中微观组织的演变以及初始组织状态对再结晶动力学、再结晶晶粒形貌和织构的影响。结果表明,再结晶动力学、最终微观组织和织构由加工条件和合金的初始组织和固溶度决定。高密度弥散析出相阻止形核,显著阻碍软化过程,最终得到粗大的狭长晶粒以及P和ND-rotated cube织构。在没有预先存在的细小、稠密的弥散相并且在退火过程中弥散相析出数量很少的时候则能更快完成再结晶并得到均匀、细小的等轴晶以及显著的立方织构。

静态退火对Mg-Gd-Y-Zr挤压合金的微结构与织构影响

本文研究了Mg-9Gd-4Y-0.6Zr挤压合金在静态退火过程中的微结构与织构的演变。采用金相显微术、扫描电子显微术、透射电子电子显微术、差热分析仪、XRD织构测试仪及EBSD分析技术表征了合金的晶粒长大、析出相沉淀及织构改变。结果表明,退火初期的晶粒尺寸下降是由再结晶引起的;晶间不均匀变形诱发了晶间的局部析出,继而抑制了再结晶过程。织构分析表明,热挤压产生了常见的基面纤维织构和不常见的柱面纤维织构,即c轴平行于挤压方向;在静态再结晶过程中,新晶粒形核会弱化柱面纤维,而晶粒长大过程会强化柱面纤维。晶界与亚晶界上的大量析出相抑制了织构改变。     

Microstructural evolution after thermomechanical processing in an equiatomic,single-phase CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy with special focus on twin boundaries

The FCC-structured equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy was produced by arc melting and drop casting. After homogenization, the drop-cast ingots were cold rolled to sheets with six different final thicknesses (thickness reductions of 21, 41, 61, 84, 92 and 96%). Samples were cut from the rolled sheets and annealed for 1 h at temperatures between 400 and 1000 °C. The recrystallization temperature was then determined as a function of cold work by means of scanning electron microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction measurements. Additionally, Vickers indentation was performed on these samples. It was found that the microhardness first tends to increase slightly upon annealing below the recrystallization temperature but then drops steeply for higher annealing temperatures due to the onset of recrystallization. To study grain growth kinetics, samples that underwent 96% cold rolling were first recrystallized for 1 h at 800 °C, which is the lowest temperature at which complete recrystallization occurs, and then annealed at temperatures between 800 and 1150 °C for various times. The grain growth exponent was determined to be approximately n = 3, and the activation energy Q = 325 kJ/mol, both of which agree well with published values for this alloy. EBSD measurements were made in the as-recrystallized and grain growth samples to analyze the annealing twins. The density of annealing twins in the grain growth samples was found to depend only on grain size, i.e., it was independent of annealing temperature and time. No such correlation could be found for the as-recrystallized samples. These observations are discussed in the framework of existing theories for the formation of annealing twins.     

Study of the recrystallization process of AlMgSi alloys containing transition elements

The addition of small amounts of the transition elements such as Zr, Mn and Cr, which have a low solubility in the α-aluminium solid solution and thus form dispersoids, to AlMgSi alloys showed that these elements inhibit recrystallization when the alloys are pre-heated prior to deformation. The formation of coarse particles during casting is mainly due to the presence of Fe. This type of particles found, even, in solution treated samples. The particles, with a diameter exceeding 3 μm, accelerate the recrystallization as they provide good sites for nucleation of recrystallization. Precipitate free zones (PFZ's) developed around the coarse particles favour nucleation of recrystallization by subgrain growth. The presence of dispersoid particles is found to shift the recrystallization energy peak towards higher temperatures. Intermediate annealing before deformation allowed to achieve a high rate of deformation by cold rolling due to the removal of the solute from the matrix by the formation of the hardening phases. Optical and transmission electron microscopy, hardness measurements and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the kinetics of precipitation and recrystallization of the AlMgSi alloys.     

涂层导体用Ni9W合金基带再结晶及强立方织构的形成研究

采用X射线四环衍射技术对比分析了通过冷轧和轧制中间热处理制备的2种Ni-9.3at%W(Ni9W)合金基带的轧制织构和再结晶织构,研究了不同Ni9W合金基带在热处理过程中轧制织构向再结晶织构的演变。其次,采用背散射电子衍射(EBSD)技术对以上2种Ni9W合金基带的微观组织和立方织构进行了表征。结果表明,与传统冷轧Ni9W合金基带的轧制织构相比,经轧制中间热处理后其轧制织构中S取向和Copper取向的含量增加、Brass取向的含量减少,使其轧制织构的类型介于Brass型轧制织构与Copper型轧制织构之间。2种Ni9W合金基带经低温回复后,其轧制织构含量均有一定的增加;另外,再结晶过程中轧制织构的含量均迅速降低,但立方取向的含量并没有明显增加,而是出现大量的随机取向,Ni9W的再结晶具有了连续再结晶的特征,这也是导致Ni9W合金基带较难形成立方织构的一个主要原因。虽然经过轧制中间热处理后Ni9W合金基带在初始再结晶完成后并没有形成一定强度的立方织构,但其立方取向的含量仍然能在进一步热处理过程中通过立方取向晶粒的长大而得到加强。最后,采用轧制中间热处理制备的Ni9W合金基带经两步高温热处理后其立方织构的含量达到84.5%(15°)。     

Effect of annealing temperature on microstructure and mechanical properties of cold-rolled commercially pure titanium sheets

The strength of traditional commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) alloys often fails to meet the demand of structural materials. In order to enhance their mechanical properties, the cold-rolled CP-Ti alloys were annealed at different temperatures, and the recrystallization behavior and texture evolution were investigated. It was found that the bimodal microstructure (equiaxed and elongated grains) was formed after partial recrystallization, and the corresponding sample exhibited an excellent combination of ultimate tensile strength (702 MPa) and total elongation (36.4%). The recrystallization nucleation of CP-Ti sheets occurred preferentially in the high strain and the high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) regions. Meanwhile, the internal misorientations of the deformed heterogeneous grains increased and transformed into HAGBs, which further promoted the recrystallization nucleation. The main recrystallization texture was basal TD-split texture transformed from cold-rolled basal RD-split texture, and the oriented nucleation played a dominated role during recrystallization.
