AZ31镁合金挤压板材的中温变形机理及软化机制(英文)

研究AZ31镁合金挤压板材在473～523K的温度范围内。应变速率0.001～1.0s-1压缩时的流变应力行为,计算板材沿挤压方向压缩时的激活能,并结合光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜探讨合金软化机制和变形机理之间的联系。结果表明,在中温下沿挤压方向压缩时,AZ31挤压态镁合金的变形激活能为174.18kJ/mol。这说明,由热激活位错交滑移所控制的动态再结晶是合金中温变形的主要软化机制。位错滑移是中温变形的主要变形机理,而孪生的作用则不大。其主要的动态再结晶机制为持续动态再结晶,并伴随少量的孪生动态再结晶。     

Simulation of strain-softening behaviors in an AZ31 Mg alloy showing distinct twin-induced reorientation before a peak stress

To investigate strain-softening behavior during plastic deformation of an AZ31 Mg alloy, cylindrical specimens were compressed in a rolling direction at 300 °C. Experimental evidence revealed that an inhomogeneous microstructure evolved due to the softening behavior associated with deformation at elevated temperatures. The large grains that reoriented as a result of deformation twinning were free of dynamic recrystallization (DRX). Fine grains nucleated at grain boundaries of grains were deformed by a slip-dominated mechanism, which accommodated the external strain. A visco-plastic self-consistent (VPSC) polycrystal model was used to simulate softening of the flow stress curve and texture evolution during uniaxial compression. A softening scheme was implemented in the polycrystal model to predict the softening phenomenon and texture evolution after the peak stress. The original VPSC model was modified to simulate texture evolution in an AZ31 Mg alloy that exhibited twin-dominated deformation before the peak stress.     

Warm deformation mechanism of hot-rolled Mg alloy

Tension attachment of high temperature microscopy was proposed to research the microstructure evolution and plastic behavior of AZ31 magnesium,alloy in a temperature range of 473-523 K and a load range of 80-160 N.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was utilized to observe the morphology of twins after deformation process.The results show that as Zener-Hollomon parameter Z increases(temperature falls,strain rate rises),the peak stress obviously increases,while the ductility tends to become worse.A grea...     

Deformation Mechanism and Hot Workability of Extruded Magnesium Alloy AZ31

Using the flow stress curves obtained by Gleeble thermo-mechanical testing, the processing map of extruded magnesium alloy AZ31 was established to analyze the hot workability. Stress exponent and activation energy were calculated to characterize the deformation mechanism. Then, the effects of hot deformation parameters on deformation mechanism,microstructure evolution and hot workability of AZ31 alloy were discussed. With increasing deformation temperature, the operation of non-basal slip systems and full development of dynamic recrystallization(DRX) contribute to effective improvement in hot workability of AZ31 alloy. The influences of strain rate and strain are complex. When temperature exceeds 350 °C, the deformation mechanism is slightly dependent of the strain rate or strain. The dominant mechanism is dislocation cross-slip, which favors DRX nucleation and grain growth and thus leads to good plasticity. At low temperature(below 350 °C), the deformation mechanism is sensitive to strain and strain rate. Both the dominant deformation mechanism and inadequate development of DRX deteriorate the ductility of AZ31 alloy. The flow instability mainly occurs in the vicinity of 250 °C and 1 s-1.     

挤压AZ31B镁合金板材高温轧制变形行为研究

通过单道次轧制试验,研究了AZ31B挤压镁合金板材在温度为365℃和450℃时的轧制性能,其变形量范围为10%～60%,应变速率为2.1s-1～5.0s-1。通过光学显微镜和扫描电镜观察了轧制变形中的微观组织及其演变。结果表明,在变形的初始阶段,孪生为主要的变形机理和硬化机制。由孪生变形积聚的畸变能和非基滑移的启动,导致了动态再结晶的形核与长大,增大变形速率可以抑制晶粒长大,使平均晶粒尺寸细化到7μm～10μm。365℃温轧制变形使板材晶粒明显细化,温度较高时,晶粒细化作用有限。在同一变形量下,随着轧制温度的升高,板材的晶粒呈长大趋势,在365℃轧制温度下,随着道次变形量的加大,细晶百分含量随之迅速增加。当轧制温度提高到450℃时,晶粒细化有限,晶粒尺寸保持在20μm以上。

AZ31镁合金热轧变形的动态再结晶机制

在轧制温度603~703 K、轧制压下量20%~40%、应变速率4~16 s-1下对AZ31镁合金进行轧制变形,研究轧制压下量、应变速率和变形温度对AZ31镁合金变形组织的影响,分析了镁合金的动态再结晶机制。结果表明：应变速率和变形温度不仅影响动态再结晶进行的程度,而且能够改变再结晶的方式或形核机制。当轧制应变速率= 13.9 s-1,变形温度T=603 K时,再结晶方式为孪生动态再结晶;变形温度升高到703 K时,沿晶界有链状新晶粒出现。当变形温度T= 673 K,应变速率= 11.35 s-1时,再结晶方式以孪生动态再结晶为主;应变速率降低到= 4 s-1时,再结晶方式以旋转动态再结晶为主。     

Simulation of stress concentration in Mg alloys using the crystal plasticity finite element method

A crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM), considering both crystallographic slip and deformation twinning, was developed to simulate the spatial stress concentration in AZ31 Mg alloys during in-plane compression. A predominant twin reorientation (PTR) model was successfully implemented to capture grain reorientation due to deformation twinning in twin-dominated deformation. By using the direct mapping technique for electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data, CPFEM can capture the heterogeneity of stress concentration at the grain boundaries in AZ31 Mg alloys during in-plane compression. The model demonstrated that deformation twinning enhances the local stress concentration at the grain boundaries between untwinned and twinned grains.     

Ce对热轧AZ31镁合金动态再结晶及织构的影响

研究了Ce对热轧AZ31合金的动态再结晶过程及织构的影响.结果表明:加入Ce后抑制了AZ31合金中孪生动态再结晶(TDRX)的发彺,还加速了合金动态再结晶进程,同时显著弱化了基面织构.EBSD分析表明,在AZ31-1.0Ce(质量分数,%)合金中,除(0001)基面织构外,还出现了介于(0001)基面和(1010)柱面的取向强度峰值,说明Ce的加入激活了变形时的非基面滑移系.Ce的加入并没有使合金的轴比值降低,相反还略有升高,说明非基面滑移的激活并非晶格结构的变化所致.Ce的加入可能改变了Mg原子之间的结合态以及增加了合金的层错能,使得非基面滑移系被激活,从而导致基面织构弱化.     

AZ31B镁合金塑性变形动态再结晶的实验研究

通过不同应变速率和不同温度下的轴对称压缩试验,研究了AZ31B镁合金塑性变形与动态再结晶的相互依赖关系。研究证实,温度T在200℃～400℃区间、变形程度ε约0.2左右时,开始出现动态再结晶(DRX)现象。随变形程度的增加,DRX晶粒不断增多,材料呈现明显的软化趋势,流动应力下降。当DRX过程完成以后,继续变形,材料又出现硬化行为。为镁合金塑性变形组织演变的定量研究打下了基础。     

Effects of deformation parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloy AZ31B

Plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behaviors of magnesium alloy AZ31B during thermal compression and extrusion processes were studied.In addition, effects of deformation temperature and rates on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated.The results show that the DRX grains nucleate initially at the primary grain boundaries and the twin boundaries, and the twinning plays an important role in the grain refinement.The DRX grain size depends on the deformation temperature and strain rate The average grain size is only 1 μm when the strain rate is 5 s-1 and temperature is 250 ℃.It is also found that the DRX grain can grow up quickly at the elevated temperature.The microstructure of extruded rods was consisted of tiny equal-axis DRX grains and some elongated grains.The rods extruded slowly have tiny grains and exhibit good mechanical properties.

In situ neutron diffraction and polycrystal plasticity modeling of a Mg–Y–Nd–Zr alloy: Effects of precipitation on individual deformation mechanisms

In situ neutron diffraction compression tests were performed on Mg–Y–Nd–Zr alloy WE43, in the solution heat-treated, peak- and over-aged conditions. The flow curves and internal strain evolutions were modeled using polycrystal plasticity simulation, with the inclusion of an elastic phase to account for the presence of precipitates. The results reveal that prismatic plate-shaped precipitates strongly impede basal slip; the critical resolved shear strength (CRSS) of basal slip increases from 12 to 37 MPa, an increase of over 200%. However, hard deformation modes such as non-basal slip of 〈a〉 dislocations are required for macroscopic yielding. These hard modes are not as strongly affected by aging, with CRSS values which increase from 78 to 92 MPa, an increase of only 18%. The results of the study are consistent with recent modeling of the relative Orowan strengthening of individual deformation modes and the superposition of various strengthening effects (solid solution and precipitation). This finding helps to explain why the age-hardening response of Mg–Y–Nd–Zr alloys is not exceptional. It is concluded that future precipitation-strengthened alloy and process design strategies should focus on promoting high number densities of particles. The effect of aging upon twinning is surprising. The most age-hardened material exhibits more twinning than the solutionized material. To model this behavior using polycrystal plasticity, the critical stress to activate twinning (especially the strain hardening thereof) must be decreased.     

大塑性变形镁合金的晶粒细化(英文)

采用电子背散射技术(EBSD)定量研究AZ31镁合金在225~400°C往复挤压大变形过程中的晶粒细化。结果表明:在225°C往复挤压3道次即获得了超细晶AZ31镁合金。随着变形温度的降低,变形组织的平均位相差和大角度晶界的比例逐渐增加。在3道次的AZ31组织中,只发现少量的{1 012}孪晶,位错滑移是主要的变形机制。施密特因子计算表明,在225~350°C变形时,锥面滑移系{1011}1 120被大量激活。而在400°C变形时,基面滑移系{0001}1 120被大量激活。亚晶界的详细分析为连续动态再结晶在镁合金大变形过程中晶粒细化的重要作用提供了直接的证据。     

AZ31镁合金位错密度模型及热压缩的微观组织预测

Hot deformation behavior and microstructure evolution of a Mg–Gd–Nd–Y–Zn alloy

The hot deformation behavior of homogenized Mg–6.5Gd–1.3Nd–0.7Y–0.3Zn alloy was investigated during compression at temperatures of 250–400 ℃ and at strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 0.100 s~(-1). Microstructure analyses show that the flow behaviors are associated with the deformation mechanisms. At the lower temperatures(250–300 ℃), deformation twinning is triggered due to the difficult activation of dislocation cross-slip. Dynamic recrystallization(DRX) accompanied by dynamic precipitation occurs at the temperature of 350 ℃ and influences the softening behavior of the flow.DRX that develops extensively at original grain boundaries is the main softening mechanism at the high temperature of 400 ℃ and eventually brings a more homogeneous microstructure than that in other deformation conditions. The volume fraction of the DRXed grains increases with temperature increasing and decreases with strain rate increasing.     

Dependence of Microstructure Evolution and Mechanical Properties on Loading Direction for AZ31 Magnesium Alloy Sheet with Non-basal Texture During In-Plane Uniaxial Tension

In-plane uniaxial tension of AZ31 magnesium alloy sheet with non-basal texture has been conducted in order to demonstrate the effects of loading direction on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties at ambient temperature. Loading axes are chosen to be along five directions distributed between rolling direction (RD) and transverse direction (TD), allowing various activities in involved slip and twinning modes to take place. As for twinning modes, electron backscattered diffraction observations confirm that the contribution of ${{\{ 10\overline{1}1\} }}$ compression twinning is minimal to the plastic deformation of all deformed samples. By comparison, ${{\{ 10\overline{1}2\} }}$ extension twinning (ET) not only serves as an important carrier on sustaining and accommodating plastic strain but also contributes to the emergence of TD-component texture with the progression of plastic strain. In terms of slip modes, analysis on Schmid factor demonstrates that the increasing tilted angle between loading direction and RD of sheet is unfavorable to the activation of basal <a> slip, whereas it contributes to the activation of prismatic <a> slip. These observations consequently explain the increasing tendency of 0.2% proof yield stress. Moreover, the activations of basal <a> slip and ${{\{ 10\overline{1}2\} }}$ ET collectively contribute to the concentration of two tilted basal poles toward normal direction. With increasing angle between loading direction and RD, the activations of basal <a> slip and ${{\{ 10\overline{1}2\} }}$ ET are gradually weakened. This leads to a weakening tendency about concentration of two tilted basal poles, a generally increasing tendency about Lankford value (r-value) and a generally decreasing tendency about strain-hardening exponent (n-value).

采用分离式霍普金森拉杆及压杆装置,研究挤压态AZ31镁合金高速变形下的各向异性及拉压不对称性,并从微观变形机制的角度探讨具有强烈初始基面织构的挤压态镁合金各向异性及拉压不对称性产生的原因。结果表明:在高速变形条件下,依据加载方向及应力状态挤压态AZ31镁合金的拉伸行为表现出很强的各向异性,但压缩行为的各向异性不明显;在挤压方向表现出很强的拉压不对称性,而在垂直于挤压方向的拉压不对称性很低。挤压态AZ31镁合金宏观上的各向异性及拉压不对称性是由于不同的微观变形机制所引起的。沿挤压方向拉伸的主要变形机制为柱面滑移,沿垂直于挤压方向拉伸及压缩的主要变形机制为锥面滑移;沿挤压方向压缩时初始变形机制为拉伸孪晶,当变形量为0.08(8%)左右时由于孪晶消耗殆尽,变形变而以滑移的方式进行。     

Correlation of plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization in magnesium alloy ZK60

The mechanisms of plastic deformation and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in a Mg–5.8% Zn–0.65% Zr alloy were studied by compression tests at temperatures between 423 and 723 K and at strain rates ranging from 10⁻⁵ to 10⁻¹ s⁻¹. It was shown that the mechanisms of DRX depended on the operating deformation mechanisms which changed with temperature. Low-temperature DRX (LTDRX below 473 K) was associated with the operation of twinning, basal slip and (a+c) dislocation glide. In the intermediate temperature range (473–523 K) continuous DRX (CDRX) was observed and associated with extensive cross-slip due to the Friedel–Escaig mechanism. At temperatures ranging from 573 to 723 K both bulging of original grain boundaries and subgrain growth were the operating DRX mechanisms and controlled by dislocation climb.
