Evolution of rotated Brass texture by cross rolling: implications on formability

In the present work, the possibilities of tailoring crystallographic texture via cross rolling are presented. It is shown that a strong rotated Brass texture develops upon cross rolling in aluminium alloys which also remains intact during the subsequent recrystallisation annealing treatment. The governing mechanisms behind the evolution of deformation and recrystallisation texture are discussed in terms of effect of strain path on stability of deformation texture components and strain-induced boundary migration mechanism, respectively. In addition, the likelihood of rotated Brass texture having a positive effect on formability is discussed in terms of sluggish cross-slip criteria as the rotated Brass texture presents a unique scenario where cross-slip is inhibited along all the three principal directions.     

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.

退火工艺路径对980 MPa级高强钢组织及性能的影响

为了提升980 MPa级高强钢局部成形性能,采用万能试验机、场发射扫描电镜(SEM)、电子背散射衍射(EBSD)及综合成形试验机等研究了不同退火工艺路径的980 MPa高强钢微观组织和力学性能,并评价了其扩孔及局部成形性能。结果表明,除了有铁素体和马氏体两相外,新型Q&T工艺的组织结构还存在回火马氏体中间相,铁素体和马氏体平均晶粒尺寸分别为3.14μm和2.62μm,马氏体面积分数为61.0%,而传统工艺下为典型的铁素体及马氏体双相组织,铁素体和马氏体平均晶粒尺寸分别为4.77μm和2.77μm,马氏体面积分数为35.8%。两种工艺伸长率相差不大,但屈服强度和扩孔率具有明显差异,新型Q&T工艺下获得了更高的屈强比及扩孔性能,得益于其更小铁素体晶粒尺寸及铁素体和马氏体硬度差。传统工艺下真实断裂应变(TFS)与真实均匀应变ε_u比值为7.0,而新型Q&T工艺下比值为15.2,因此新型Q&T工艺下具有更优异的局部成形特性。     

激光熔化沉积AlSi10Mg成形特性及力学性能

目的研究激光熔化沉积Al Si10Mg铝合金的成形特性及力学性能。方法以颗粒度45～105μm的Al Si10Mg粉末为材料,6061铝合金为基板,利用光纤激光器在充氩舱内分别进行单层单道、竖直薄壁单墙体与倾斜薄壁墙体的成形试验。测试单墙体的抗拉强度与延伸率,并通过扫描电子显微镜和光学显微镜对微观组织形貌进行分析。结果单层单道沉积层高度与激光扫描速度负相关,与送粉速度成线性正相关;而沉积层宽度与扫描速度负相关,与激光功率正相关。沉积单墙体时,沉积前10层最不稳定,墙体厚度低于后续层的厚度。为了使沉积过程稳定,墙体不塌陷,通过激光功率在前20层左右逐层递减,成功制备出250层(高10cm)以上的单墙体。工艺选取合适时,AlSi10Mg具有良好的成形能力,激光头角度保持竖直不变,墙体倾角60°以下可以稳定沉积。制备沉积态Al Si10Mg气孔率约3%,抗拉强度250MPa左右,延伸率5%以上,抗拉强度高于成分相似的ZL104铸件25%。微观组织内Al-Si共晶细小,没有针片状共晶组织,并且组织沿沉积方向呈现周期性变化。结论 Al Si10Mg在激光熔化沉积时具有良好的成形能力,沉积态的组织强度高于铸态组织强度。优化后的工艺可以稳定沉积制备下圆上方的变截面薄壁样件。     

The impact of powder oxygen content on formability of 12CrNi2 alloy steel fabricated by laser melting deposition

Three various 12CrNi2 alloy steels were successfully fabricated on 35CrMo alloy steel by laser melting deposition with the aim of investigating the effect of powder oxygen content on formability of 12CrNi2 alloy steel. The phase constituents, macroscopic morphology, microstructure, and microhardness of powders and samples were studied by some modern analysis methods. The experimental results showed that with the increase of the oxygen content from 220 to 600?ppm, the sphericity and density of the powders gradually decreased which led to the appearance of pores in the as-deposited samples. The phase constituent of three as-deposited samples with different oxygen contents was α-Fe(M) phase. The percentage porosity in the macroscopic morphology increased with the increase of the oxygen content. Meanwhile, the high oxygen content contributed to more pores and the crack formation in the microstructure. With the increase of oxygen content, the microhardness of the as-deposited samples would decrease.     

Effect of strain-induced martensitic phase transformation on the formability of nitrogen-alloyed metastable austenitic stainless steels

Strain-induced martensitic phase transformation and its influence on the formability of newly developed nitrogen-alloyed metastable austenitic stainless steels were systematically investigated. Yield strength for the asreceived steels bearing lownickel content was around 300 MPa and their elongation ratios varied from 55. 2% to61. 7%. Erichsen numbers of these samples differed from 13. 82 to 14. 57 mm. Although its Cu content was lower than that of other samples,steel D2 exhibited better plasticity and formability,which was attributed to γ→α'martensitic phase transformation. EBSD,XRD,and magnetism tests showed that increases in deformation ratio gradually increased the α' martensite phase of a sample,thereby contributing to its strain and inducing the optimal transformation-induced plasticity effect. An M_(d30/50) temperature of around 20 ℃,which is close to the deformation temperature,provided the austenite with adequate stability and gradually transformed it into martensite,thereby endowing lean ASS with better formability.
