力学性能各向异性是影响工业纯钛板带材成形性能的主要因素之一。为制备低各向异性工业纯钛带卷,采用室温拉伸试验和电子背散射衍射技术表征了经不同工艺退火后冷轧工业纯钛的力学性能、显微组织和织构,分析了退火工艺对工业纯钛带卷力学性能各向异性的影响规律。结果表明,退火温度固定时,延长退火时间,TA1钛带纵向屈服强度降低程度大于横向,导致其各向异性升高,而退火超过一定时间后其各向异性趋于稳定,700 ℃时钛带纵横向屈服强度差值的稳定值为82 MPa,610 ℃时的稳定值为58 MPa;退火时间固定时,在所研究温度范围内,退火温度越高,钛带各向异性越显著。织构分析表明,延长退火时间或/和升高退火温度,TA1钛带的棱锥织构增强、基面织构减弱,导致室温拉伸时纵横向{1010}<1120>柱面滑移的施密特因子差值增大,从而表现出更明显的力学性能各向异性。     

Influence of rolling route on microstructure and mechanical properties of AZ31 magnesium alloy during asymmetric reduction rolling

Four different routes of asymmetric reduction rolling were conducted on AZ31 magnesium alloy to investigate their effect on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties. Route A is the forward rolling; while during routes B and C the sheets are rotated 180° in rolling direction and normal direction, respectively; route D is the unidirectional rolling. The strain states of rolled sheets were analyzed by the finite element method, while the microstructure and texture were observed using optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron back-scattered diffraction techniques, and the mechanical properties were measured by tensile test. The results show that route D produced the largest effective strain. Compared with other samples, sample D exhibited a homogeneous microstructure with fine grains as well as a weak and tilted texture, in corresponding, it performed excellent tensile properties, which suggested that route D was an effective way to enhance the strength and plasticity of AZ31 sheet.     

Texture and mechanical properties of Al-0.5Mg-1.0Si-0.5Cu alloy sheets manufactured via a cross rolling method

The relationship between the texture and mechanical properties of 6xxx aluminum alloy sheets processed via cross rolling was investigated. The microstructures of the conventional rolled and cross rolled sheets after annealing were analyzed using optical micrographs (OM). The texture distribution across the thickness in the Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy, conventional rolled sheets, and cross rolled sheets both before and after annealing was investigated via X-ray texture measurements. The texture was analyzed in three layers from the surface to the center of the sheet. The β-fiber texture of the conventional rolled sheet was typical of the texture obtained using aluminumoll ring. After annealing, the typical β-fiber orientations were changed to recrystallization textures: cube{001}〈100〉 and normal direction (ND)-rotated cubes. However, the texture of the cross rolled sheet was composed of an asymmetrical, rolling direction (RD)-rotated cubes. After annealing, the asymmetrical orientations in the cross rolled sheet were changed to a randomized texture. The average R-value of the annealed cross rolled sheets was higher than that of the conventional rolled sheets. The limit dome height (LDH) test results demonstrated that cross rolling is effective in improving the formability of the Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy sheets.

Rate and Orientation Dependence of Formability in Fine-Grained AZ31B-O Mg Alloy Thin Sheet

Uniaxial tension and press forming tests were carried out at two different strain rates and temperatures to investigate the formability of fine-grained AZ31B-O Mg alloy thin sheet. Formability parameters were determined by tensile test results. The tensile properties and formability parameters were correlated with the forming limit diagrams. The present work focused on the effects of loading orientation and deformation rate on formability. Anisotropic behaviors were observed in the mechanical properties. Maximum strengths were obtained in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction (RD). It can be concluded that the formability of the rolled fine-grained AZ31B-O Mg alloy sheet can be influenced by loading orientation and deformation rate. Stretch formability can be enhanced at a higher deformation rate, resulting from a lower anisotropy and a higher work hardening effect. In contrast, the drawing processes can be performed at a lower deformation rate to take advantage of a higher anisotropic behavior. Specimens with the RD parallel to the major strain in the press forming tests can enhance stretch formability, whereas specimens with the RD perpendicular to the major strain can improve deep-drawability.

Tailoring the Texture and Mechanical Anisotropy of Multi-cross Rolled Mg-Zn-Gd Alloy by Annealing

The unidirectional rolled Mg-Zn-Gd sheet usually exhibited non-basal texture with two peaks whose tilting angle were about 42° from normal direction to transverse direction (TD), which would cause the mechanical anisotropy. In this study, multi-cross rolling followed by annealing was used to tailor the texture and mechanical anisotropy for Mg-Zn-Gd alloy. With increasing annealing temperature, the rolled basal texture with two peaks gradually transformed into the circle texture with multi-peaks. In order to figure out different texture components evolution during annealing, the basal texture, R-texture and T-texture component were defined and studied. The results showed that the change of R-texture and T-texture component was asynchronous with increasing annealing temperature from 250 to 400 °C. The tilting angle of R-texture component increased slightly, while the tilting angle of T-texture component increased obviously, and this phenomenon was attributed to the preferential nucleation at grain nucleation stage rather than preferential grain growth. The yield strength along TD was more sensitive to annealing temperature compared with that along rolling direction (RD), resulting in different descending slopes and yield strength anisotropy with increasing annealing temperature. Annealing at 300 °C was the best annealing temperature due to low yield strength anisotropy, moderate strength and good elongation among these annealing temperatures. The Schmid factor for basal slip indicated that the activity of basal slip along RD increased slightly, while that along TD increased obviously with increasing annealing temperature from 250 to 400 °C, which should be caused by the asynchronous change of R-texture component and T-texture component, consequently resulting in the transformation from isotropic yield strength to anisotropic yield strength.     

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.     

变形参数对AZ31镁合金板材织构的影响

利用X射线衍射(XRD)方法测量了不同轧制状态,即不同变形温度和变形量条件下AZ31镁合金板材织构的变化特征。结果表明,经过轧制之后的AZ31镁合金板材形成强烈的基面织构;在250℃~400℃范围内,变形温度的升高、变形量的增大都会促进镁合金板材棱柱面、锥面等非基面滑移系的启动,从而影响各织构组分的锋锐程度和板材各向异性的强弱。随着变形温度的升高,镁合金板材的各向异性减弱;变形量的增大,镁合金板材的各向异性增强。     

Influence of rolling ways on microstructure and anisotropy of AZ31 alloy sheet

Two rolling ways,unidirectional rolling and cross rolling,were carried out on twin roll cast AZ31 alloy sheet to study the influence of strain path change on the evolution of the rolling microstructure and texture as well as the anisotropic properties of AZ31 alloy sheet with microscopy,X-ray diffraction technique and tensile tests.It is found that cross rolling gives rise to more uniform microstructure and stronger texture intensities compared with unidirectional rolling.The differences in the microstructure and texture intensities are reflected in the anisotropy characterized by the difference in the yield stress and the fracture elongation that were measured along directions in the rolling plane at angles of 0■,45■and 90■from the rolling direction.     

Effects of rolling condition on the tensile properties of Mg-MM-Sn-Al-Zn alloy

The microstructures and mechanical properties of Mg-2MM-2Sn-1Al-1Zn (ETAZ2211) sheets fabricated under different conditions have been investigated. Two hot-rolling routes following extrusion have been carried out at 300 °C or 400 °C. One method is to roll the extruded strips parallel to the extrusion direction (ED); the other is to roll the extruded strips perpendicular to the extrusion direction (TD). The strength and the elongation-to-fracture of specimens prepared by a combination of extrusion and rolling processes are increased dramatically when compared those of the simply rolled specimens. Especially, the TD alloy sheet rolled at 300 °C exhibits the best combination of strength and ductility, i.e. yield strength of 178.5 MPa, ultimate tensile strength of 239.1 MPa, uniform elongation of 24.4 % and elongation-to-fracture of 37.9 %. Observation of texture reveals that the intensity of (0002) texture is lower for the TD alloy sheets than that for the ED alloy sheets, indicating that the texture intensity is reduced by change of the rolling direction.     

Improvement of formability of Mg–Al–Zn alloy sheet at low temperatures using differential speed rolling

The differential speed rolling (DSR) with a roll speed ratio of 1.167 was carried out on an AZ31B magnesium alloy in order to investigate its effects on the formability. Compared with the normal rolled sheet exhibiting approximately the same average grain size, the Erichsen values of the DSR processed sheet with an inclination of basal pole in the rolling direction significantly increased by about 1.5 and 1.9 times at room temperature and at 423 K, respectively. The deep-drawing temperature limit for a drawing ratio of 1.5 was also lowered from 443 K to 423 K. The improvement of the press formability at low temperatures can be attributed to the texture modifications, which led to a lower 0.2% proof stress, a larger uniform elongation, a smaller Lankford value and a larger strain hardening exponent.     

Effects of hot rolled shear bands on formability and surface ridging of an ultra purified 21%Cr ferritic stainless steel

An ultra purified 21%Cr ferritic stainless steel (FSS) was hot rolled at a low finisher entry temperature (FET) of 750 °C to generate shear bands through large shear flow localizations in grain interiors. The effects of shear bands on the formability and surface ridging have been studied as compared to a conventional hot rolled band at the FET of 970 °C with few shear bands. The results showed that as compared to the final sheet produced with the FET of 970 °C, the average r-value for the final sheet with the FET of 750 °C was increased by 25%, and the surface roughness of the final sheet strained by 15% along the rolling direction was decreased by 40%. It has been observed that the existence of shear bands could enhance the nucleation for recrystallization during hot rolling and annealing for microstructure refinement, and modify the texture by intensifying the {1 1 1} textures in the final sheet. The influence of shear bands on sheet formability and resistance against surface ridging was discussed.

基于铁素体轧制工艺低碳铝镇静钢板r值降低原因分析

某钢厂试开发基于铁素体轧制工艺的SPCC板,经热轧-冷轧-罩式退火工序后对样品进行性能检测,发现与传统奥氏体轧制工艺相比,该工艺路径下的产品各项力学性能指标均有不同程度下降,且r值有明显降低。对两种工艺路径的热轧板和冷轧退火成品板进行了组织和织构的对比分析,且提出了改进措施。结果表明:铁素体轧制工艺中热轧精轧温度过高,形成两相区轧制,得到粗大F+纤维状F的不均匀室温组织,从而导致冷轧退火板中存在较高强度{001}<110>织构组分,是导致最终产品r值降低的主要原因。

Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg–3Al–Zn Magnesium Alloy Sheet by Hot Shear Spinning

Hot shear spinning experiments with Mg–3.0 Al–1.0 Zn–0.5 Mn(AZ31 B, wt%) magnesium alloy sheets were conducted at various temperatures, spindle speeds and feed ratios to investigate the effects of these processing parameters on the microstructure, crystallographic texture and mechanical properties. The AZ31 B sheet displayed good shear formability at temperatures from 473 to 673 K, spindle speeds from 300 to 600 rev/min and feed ratios from 0.1 to 0.5 mm/rev. During the dynamic recrystallization process, the grain size and texture were affected by the deformation temperature of the hot shear spinning process. Each of the spun sheets presented a strong basal texture, and the c-axis of most of the grains was parallel to the normal direction. The optimal hot shear spinning parameters were determined to be a temperature of 473 K, a spindle speed of 300 rev/min and a feed ratio of 0.1 mm/rev. The yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and elongation in the rolled direction reached 221 MPa, 288 MPa and 14.1%, and those in the transverse direction reached 205 MPa, 280 MPa and 12.4%, respectively. The improved strength and decreased mechanical anisotropy resulted from the fine grain size and strong basal texture.     

Texture Evolution Behavior and Its Triggered Mechanical Anisotropy of CP Ti During Severe Cold Rolling and Subsequent Annealing

The texture evolution behavior and its triggered mechanical anisotropy of commercially pure titanium(CP Ti) during severe cold rolling and subsequent annealing are discussed based on the optical microscopy and the electron backscattered diffraction analyses. Some enlightening results are found. It is shown that planar textures exist under all treatments, namely the {11–29}10–10 under rolling state, the {11–27}10–10 under 300 °C annealing state and the {11–24}10–10 under 500 °C annealing state. This indicates that the crystal plane indices of planar texture change toward {-12–10} with increasing annealing temperature, which is a result of crystal lattice rotation. Planar texture triggers anisotropy of the mechanical properties for CP Ti sheets under all treatments. In particular, CP Ti sheets exhibit severe and similar anisotropy behavior under rolling and 300 °C annealing states. Generally speaking, the rolling direction(RD) specimens get relatively low yield strength, high ultimate tensile strength and good plasticity, and RD + 45° specimens show relatively high yield strength, low ultimate tensile strength and good plasticity. The transverse direction specimens, however, usually exhibit high yield strength and low plasticity. It is proved that the above anisotropy behavior is mainly determined by the Schmid factor distribution of the(10–10)[11–20] prismatic slip system in different directions. Due to the non-negligible influence exerted by the(0001)[11–20] basal slip system after 500 °C annealing, the anisotropy behavior under this state is obviously different.     

Analysis of texture and mechanical anisotropy of Al-Mg alloy sheets for autobody applications

The effect of texture on mechanical anisotropy was investigated in three commercial Al-Mg alloy sheets for autobody applications. The textures were identified using ODF (oriented distribution function) analyses of XRD pole figures. The volume fractions of existing texture components were calculated based on the Gaussian function approximation. The tensile tests were performed in different directions to the rolling direction of the sheet in order to analyze the mechanical anisotropy. The Cube and Cube_ND recrystallization textures were identified as dominant texture components of the Al-Mg alloy sheets. The experimental R-values were in good agreement with the prediction based on the CMTP (continuum mechanics of textured polycrystals). The mechanical anisotropy originated from Cube_ND texture component was weaker than that originated from Cube texture component. The anisotropy in R-value decreased with increasing the amount of random spread components and the AR value was measured as 0.01 when the random spread component was 70%. The biaxial stretchability obtained from Erichen test was enhanced with decreasing the mechanical anisotropy in Al-Mg alloy sheet.
