ECAP变形与材料组织性能控制的研究

等径弯曲通道变形(ECAP)是制备超细晶材料的新工艺,其基本原理是将试样放入横截面形状完全相同、并成一定角度的弯曲通道中,试样在压力作用下通过通道时,在通道弯曲处产生一定量均匀的纯剪切变形,最终获得很高的变形量,使材料组织发生明显细化.详细介绍了ECAP变形工艺路线对晶粒细化的影响,以及ECAP变形制备超细晶材料的显微组织特征及其力学性能.

Improving corrosion resistance of Al‐11mass%Si alloy through a large number of ECAP passes

Ultrafine‐grained (UFG) Al‐11mass%Si alloy, processed by multi‐pass equal‐channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 573 K, was investigated on corrosion behavior in 0.6 M NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic polarization tests and scanning electron microscopy observation showed that a large number of ECAP passes resulted in lower corrosion current density, more positive corrosion potential, and rather smooth corroded surface with shallow corrosion pits. The uniform distribution of fine secondary‐phase particles on UFG Al matrix weakened the susceptibility to pitting corrosion while inhibited general microgalvanic reactions. The present results indicate that grain refinement of aluminum matrix to the UFG state and uniform redistribution of broken particles (including eutectic silicon and secondary phases), via severe plastic deformation at elevated temperature undergoing dynamic recrystallization, can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of Al alloys, besides the known exceptional mechanical advantages. The simple and effective ECAP procedure makes UFG Al alloys more attractive for high strength structural application in corrosive environment.

ECAP工艺细化铁基形状记忆合金研究

Three-dimensional numerical analysis and experimental investigation of grain refinement in multi-pass equal channel angular pressing for round-workpieces

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) has the capability of producing ultra fine-grained (UFG) materials bellow the dimension of 1 μm. At present, it is one of the most important methods to get bulk UFG materials. Multi-pass ECAP processes for round workpieces are investigated by using numerical simulations and experimental studies in this paper. The deformation mechanism of ECAP for grain refinement is obtained. Three processing routes A, B and C are simulated in order to study the influence of the processing routes to the deformation uniformity of the workpiece. The finite element (FE) analysis results of the multi-pass ECAP process show that the different processing routes result in the different deformation distributions. The grain in the workpiece is refined obviously after multi-pass pressing. The microstructures of the processed material are more different than that of the microstructure of the annealing initial equiaxed grains. The microstructure evolution of the workpiece can be changed via different processing routes. It is found that route B can get a high angle grain boundaries distribution in the workpiece than other routes. The results of the analysis show that the process of grain refinement can be described as a continuous dynamic recovery and recrystallization. The microstructure evolutions of the grain refinement mechanisms and micro-structural characteristics for different multi-pass ECAP processing routes are verified by using OM (optical model) and TEM (transmission electron microscope) analysis. In addition, the experimental microstructure results are also consistent with FE analysis results.     

Effect of α-Al/Al3Ni microstructure on the corrosion behaviour of Al-5.4 wt% Ni alloy fabricated by equal-channel angular pressing

The effect of microstructure on corrosion behaviour of an Al-5.4 wt% Ni alloy fabricated by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated by means of potentiodynamic polarization test. The Al-5.4 wt% Ni alloy samples were severely deformed by ECAP with two strain introduction methods of route A and route B_C and the ECAP process was repetitively carried out up to 6 passes (strain 6). The anodic polarization measurements indicated that pitting potential of the ECAPed Al-Ni alloy samples in chloride containing neutral buffer solution increased with ECAP passes. The pitting corrosion resistance of Al-Ni alloy after ECAP by route B_C was better than that by route A. It is attributable to that the size of α-Al crystal region was reduced with ECAP passes and route B_C was able to obtain more homogeneous α-Al/Al₃Ni structure than route A. On the other hand, pitting corrosion resistance of pure Al samples showed an obvious declining with increasing ECAP passes. It was indicated that more homogeneous and finer α-Al/Al₃Ni structure obtained by ECAP played a vital role on improving the corrosion resistance of Al-5.4 wt% Ni alloy.
