Effect of Grain Size on the Superplastic Behavior of a 7475 Aluminum Alloy

Specimens of a super plastic 7475 aluminum alloy with grain sizes ranging between 9 and 35 |xm were tensile tested at a strain rate of 1 × 10 ^{- 4}/s at 457 and 517 °C. At 517 °C, the ductility was found to decrease with an increase in grain size. At 457 °C, on the other hand, the ductility was found to increase initially and then decrease for grain sizes larger than 14 μm. The latter decrease in ductility is attributed to the lowered ability for grain- boundary sliding with decreasing grain- boundary area. In the as- received material (grain size of 9 μm), the observed low ductility is attributed to an inhomogeneous microstructure.     

CHANGE OF TEXTURE IN A SiC_w／LD2 COMPOSITE DURING SUPERPLASTIC DEFORMATION

用挤压铸造法制成ＳｉＣ_ｗ／ＬＤ２复合材料，在４７０℃下进行热挤压得到板材，挤压比为１：２２．在５７０℃进行超塑拉伸实验，拉伸速度由１ｍｍ／ｍｉｎ逐步升至５ｍｍ／ｍｉｎ时获得了最大延伸率２８０％．用Ｘ射线衍射法对超塑拉伸过程中基体和晶须的织构变化进行了研究．结果表明，在超塑拉伸过程中基体的织构要发生漫散，同时有再结晶织构出现，这种再结晶织构也会随拉伸的进行而漫散．晶须在拉伸过程中要发生转动，这种转动主要是θ转动，基本上不发生ω转动．

Manufacturing advantages of superplastically formed fine-grain Ti-6Al-4V alloy

Superplastic forming (SPF) of Ti-6Al-4V has traditionally been performed at 900 °C. Although SPF equipment and dies have been developed to withstand this high temperature, their life is limited and maintenance is high. In addition, the formed sheets need chemical milling after processing to remove a significant layer of alpha case, and parts require hand polishing due to a rough die surface caused by high temperature oxidation. The recent development of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy with a grain size of around 1 μm has led to the possibility of superplastic forming at a much lower temperature than regular Ti-6Al-4V. In addition, the forming speed can be increased. This work looks at some of the SPF attributes of fine-grain titanium, in particular, the optimum forming temperature, the thinning characteristics, alpha case formation, and forming speeds. The authors also address manufacturing advantages, such as die life, equipment needs, and operator comfort. Some prototype and preproduction aircraft components on Boeing airplanes are presented. The results show that the new fine-grain material could significantly lower the cost of SPF Ti-6Al-4V part production for the aerospace industry. This paper was presented at the International Symposium on Superplasticity and Superplastic Forming, sponsored by the Manufacturing Critical Sector at the ASM International AeroMat 2004 Conference and Exposition, June 8–9, 2004, in Seattle, WA. The symposium was organized by Daniel G. Sanders, The Boeing Company.

Superplasticity of Mg-5.8Zn-1Y-Zr alloy sheet fabricated by combination of extrusion and hot-rolling processes

Superplastic behaviors of quasicrystal phase containing Mg-5.8Zn-1Y-0.48Zr alloy sheets fabricated by combination of extrusion and hot-rolling processes have been investigated at temperature ranging from 623 to 753 K and at the strain rates ranging from 10-4 to 10-2 s-1 by uniaxial tensile tests. An excellent superplasticity with the maximum elongation to failure of 1020% was obtained at 753 K and the strain rate of 1.04×10-3 s-1 and its strain rate sensitivity, m, is as high as up to 0.75. The microstructure was stable during superplastic deformation due to the uniformly distributed fine quasicrystal particles. In addition, micro-cavities and their coalescences were observed in the superplastic deformation of the ZW61 magnesium alloy. Grain boundary sliding (GBS) was considered to be the main deformation mechanism during the superplastic deformation. Dislocation creep controlled by atom diffusion through grain boundaries or interior grains is suggested mainly to accommodate the GBS in super-plastic deformation.
