The extrusion/equal channel angular pressing (EX-ECAP) processing procedure, in which magnesium-based alloys are subjected
to extrusion followed by ECAP, was applied to a Mg-7.5 pct Al-0.2 pct Zr alloy prepared by casting. Microstructural inspection
showed the EX-ECAP process was effective in reducing the grain size from ∼21 μm after extrusion to an as-pressed grain size of ∼0.8 μm. It is shown through static annealing that these ultrafine grains are reasonably stable up to 473 K, but grain growth occurs
at higher temperatures. Tensile specimens were cut from the billets prepared by EX-ECAP and testing showed these specimens
exhibited superplasticity at relatively low temperatures with maximum elongations up to >700 pct. By processing through EX-ECAP
to a higher imposed strain and thereby increasing the area fraction of high-angle boundaries, it is demonstrated that there
is a potential for achieving high-strain-rate superplasticity.

Alloys,” which occurred during the Spring TMS meeting, March 14–18, 2004, in Charlotte, NC, under the auspices of the ASM-MSCTS

Influence of pressing speed on microstructural development in equal-channel angular pressing 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The influence of pressing speed in equal-channel angular (ECA) pressing was investigated using samples of pure Al and an Al-1
pct Mg alloy and a range of pressing speeds from ∼10−2 to ∼10 mm s−1. The results show that the speed of pressing has no significant influence on the equilibrium grain size, at least over the
range used in these experiments. Thus, the equilibrium grain sizes were ∼1.2 μm for pure Al and ∼0.5 μm for the Al-1 pct Mg alloy for all pressing conditions. However, it is shown that the nature of the microstructure is dependent
on the pressing speed, because recovery occurs more easily at the slower speeds, so that the microstructure is then more equilibrated.
There is also indirect evidence for the advent of frictional effects when the cross-sectional dimensions of the samples are
at or below ∼5 mm. 相似文献

Experiments were undertaken to compare the equal-channel angular (ECA) pressing of Al-1 pct Mg and Al-3 pct Mg solid-solution
alloys with pure Al. The results reveal both similarities and differences between these three materials. Bands of subgrains
are formed in all three materials in a single passage through the die, and these subgrains subsequently evolve, on further
pressings through the die, into an array of grains with high-angle boundaries. However, the addition of magnesium to an aluminum
matrix decreases the rate of recovery and this leads, with an increasing Mg content, both to an increase in the number of
pressings required to establish a homogeneous microstructure and to a decrease in the ultimate equiaxed equilibrium grain
size. It is concluded that alloys exhibiting low rates of recovery should be especially attractive candidate materials for
establishing ultrafine structures through grain refinement using the ECA pressing technique. 相似文献

Experimental studies and finite element analysis of equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) were carried out to clarify the
deformation behavior in a sharp corner die and a round corner die under the condition without a frictional effect. It was
found in both the experiment and the finite element simulation that the geometry of the die itself has a great influence on
the homogeneity in deformation, resulting in more uniform shear deformation in the sharp corner die than in the round corner
die under the condition without friction. The shear deformation was concentrated homogeneously on the diagonal plane of the
sharp corner, which was in good agreement with the postulation of the conventional theory. In the case of the round corner
die, however, plastic deformation was spread over a wide sector of the corner where shear deformation was confined to the
inner part, and nonshear deformation was found in the outer part. The inhomogeneous deformation of the round corner die due
to geometrical effects exhibited forward-curved flow in the outer part of the corner differently from backward-curved flow
caused by frictional effects. The numerical analysis showed that more inhomogeneous distribution of stress was generated on
the inlet cross section of the round corner, resulting in a variation of the normal stress from a compressive stress in the
inner part to a tensile stress in the outer part. Tension followed by compression was a dominant deformation mode of the material
during passing through the outer corner, and a gradual bending of the material occurred instead of shear deformation. 相似文献

The shearing associated with equal-channel angular (ECA) pressing was examined using optical microscopy. Samples of pure A1
with a large grain size were subjected to ECA pressing to different strains and then examined on three orthogonal planes.
Samples were pressed without any rotation or with rotations of either 90 or 180 deg between each consecutive pressing. The
experimental observations are compared with models which predict the shearing characteristics associated with ECA pressing
under different conditions. It is demonstrated that there is good agreement, in terms of both the grain elongation and the
shearing within individual grains, between the experimental results and the predictions of the models.

The structure formation and the mechanical properties of quenched and tempered grade 20 steel after equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at various true strains and 400°C are studied. Electron microscopy analysis after ECAP shows a partially submicrocrystalline and partially subgrain structure with a structural element size of 340–375 nm. The structural element size depends on the region in which the elements are formed (polyhedral ferrite, needle-shaped ferrite, tempered martensite, and pearlite). Heating of the steel after ECAP at 400 and 450°C increases the fraction of high-angle boundaries and the structural ferrite element size to 360–450 nm. The fragmentation and spheroidization of cementite lamellae of pearlite and subgrain coalescence in the regions of needle-shaped ferrite and tempered martensite take place at a high ECAP true strain and heating temperature. Structural refinement ensures considerable strengthening, namely, UTS 742–871 MPa at EL 11–15.3%. The strength slightly increases, whereas the plasticity slightly decreases when the true strain increases during ECAP. After ECAP and heating, the strength and plastic properties of the grade 20 steel remain almost the same. 相似文献

The dynamic deformation behavior of ultrafine-grained low-carbon steels fabricated by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP)
was investigated in this study. Dynamic torsional tests, using a torsional Kolsky bar, were conducted on four steel specimens,
two of which were annealed at 480 °C after ECAP, and then the test data were compared in terms of microstructures, tensile
properties, and adiabatic shear-band formation. The equal-channel angular pressed specimen consisted of very fine, equiaxed
grains of 0.2 to 0.3 μm in size, which were slightly coarsened after annealing. The dynamic torsional test results indicated that maximum shear
stress decreased with increasing annealing time, whereas fracture shear strain increased. Some adiabatic shear bands were
observed at the gage center of the dynamically deformed torsional specimen. Their width was smaller in the equal-channel angular
pressed specimen than in the 1-hour-annealed specimen, but they were not found in the 24-hour-annealed specimen. Ultrafine,
equiaxed grains of 0.05 to 0.2 μm in size were formed inside the adiabatic shear band, and their boundaries had characteristics of high-angle grain boundaries.
These phenomena were explained by dynamic recrystallization due to a highly localized plastic strain and temperature rise
during dynamic deformation. 相似文献

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) is used to refine grains and to change the texture of the initial pressed Mg-0.49% Al-0.47% Ca alloy rod in order to study the possibility of increasing the low-temperature ductility of the alloy. ECAP is performed at 300°C in six passes at a total true logarithmic strain ε = 6.8 according to route B C . As a result, an ultrafine-grained structure with a grain size of 2–5 μm forms. The initial texture of the pressed rod is characterized by the [12 11] axial orientation parallel to the pressing direction. After ECAP, the texture changes its type and is characterized by a set of preferred orientations that represent basal planes located at an angle of 40°–50° with respect to the pressing direction. An analysis of the generalized Schmid factors, which were calculated for the main operating deformation systems with allowance for the critical shear stresses in them and the volume fractions of the preferred orientations, indicates that the texture caused by ECAP affects the decrease in the strength properties of the alloy measured at room temperature and the increase in the low-temperature ductility of the alloy. 相似文献

The static and fatigue strength of commercial-purity VT1-00 titanium and a Zr-2.5% Nb alloy subjected to equal-channel angular
pressing (ECAP) are studied. The formation of a submicrocrystalline structure after ECAP is shown to result in significant
hardening, an increase in the fatigue life at high stress amplitudes, and an increase in the fatigue limit as compared to
the annealed state. The mechanisms of fatigue fracture of the materials in various structural states are investigated. 相似文献

The fatigue strength of a magnesium MA2-1 alloy is studied after annealing and equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP). The
ultrafine-grained structure formed upon ECAP is shown to increase the plasticity of the material during static tension, to
decrease the cyclic life to failure, and not to decrease the fatigue limit. The mechanisms of crack nucleation and growth
during cyclic deformation are investigated. 相似文献

In the present study, ultrafine-grained microstructures of a conventional 5083 aluminum alloy were fabricated by equal-channel
angular pressing, and their dynamic deformation and fracture behavior were investigated. Dynamic torsional tests were conducted
on four aluminum alloy specimens using a torsional Kolsky bar, and then the test data were analyzed in relation to microstructures,
tensile properties, and adiabatic shear-banding behavior. The equal-channel angular-pressed (ECAP) specimens consisted of
ultrafine grains and contained a considerable amount of second-phase particles, which were refined and distributed homogeneously
in the matrix as the equal-channel angular pressing pass number increased. The dynamic torsional test results indicated that
the maximum shear stress increased, while the fracture shear strain remained constant, with increasing equal-channel angular
pressing pass number. Observation of the deformed area beneath the dynamically fractured surface showed that a number of voids
initiated mainly at second-phase particle/matrix interfaces and that the number of voids increased with increasing pass number.
Adiabatic shear bands of 200 to <300 μm in width were formed in the as-extruded and 1-pass ECAP specimens having coarser particles, whereas they were hardly formed
in the four-pass and eight-pass ECAP specimens having finer particles. The possibility of adiabatic shear-band formation was
explained by concepts of absorbed deformation energy and void initiation. 相似文献

Structural evolution of a strip-cast al alloy sheet processed by continuous equal-channel angular pressing 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Experiments were conducted on strip-cast 1050 Al alloy sheets using an equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) process to investigate
the feasibility of the technique for producing metal strips. The developed process is capable of introducing shear deformation
into metal strips in a continuous mode at a relatively fast forming speed of 10 to 50 m/min. The actual shear-flow patterns
as a result of the continuous ECAP were demonstrated and compared with those obtained from numerical calculations. The effects
of die geometry on the mechanical properties of the strips were investigated. Observations of the microstructural evolution
in the equal-channel angular pressed (ECAPed) samples were conducted using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as a function
of oblique angles. The texture evolution was investigated using orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis. A possible
application of this process for producing an Al alloy sheet with high formability and low earing was discussed by calculating
the Lankford parameter and the planar anisotropy. 相似文献

The low-temperature superplasticity of ultra-fine-grained (UFG) Ti-6Al-4V was established as a function of temperature and
strain rate. The equiaxed-alpha grain size of the starting material was reduced from 11 to 0.3 μm (without a change in volume
fraction) by imposing an effective strain of ∼4 via isothermal, equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 873 K. The ultrafine microstructure so produced was relatively stable
during annealing at temperatures up to 873 K. Uniaxial tension and load-relaxation tests were conducted for both the starting
(coarse-grained (CG)) and UFG materials at temperatures of 873 to 973 K and strain rates of 5 × 10−5 to 10−2 s−1. The tension tests revealed that the UFG structure exhibited considerably higher elongations compared to those of the CG
specimens at the same temperature and strain rate. A total elongation of 474 pct was obtained for the UFG alloy at 973 K and
10−4 s−1. This fact strongly indicated that low-temperature superplasticity could be achieved using an UFG structure through an enhancement
of grain-boundary sliding in addition to strain hardening. The deformation mechanisms underlying the low-temperature superplasticity
of UFG Ti-6Al-4V were also elucidated by the load-relaxation tests and accompanying interpretation based on inelastic deformation
theory. 相似文献

The effect of cold equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) on the structure and properties of low-carbon St10 and 08R steels in the initially ferritic-pearlitic and bainitic states is studied. Directly after ECAP, only a partially submicrocrystalline structure with a grain size of 150–300 nm (depending on alloying and the initial state) can be obtained. Along with a granular structure, a subgrain and/or cellular structure, including an oriented structure, are observed. The finest structure forms in a boron-containing 08R steel with a structural-element size of 190 nm. The strength of the 08R steel subjected to cold ECAP (σu = 805–1235 MPa) corresponds to a hardware strength class of 8.8–12.9. The strength of the deformed St10 steel is close to a strength class of 8.8. 相似文献

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) of am MA2-1 alloy according to routes A and Bc is used to study the possibility of increasing
the low-temperature deformability of the alloy due to grain refinement and a change in its texture. To separate the grain
refinement effect from the effect of texture on the deformability of the alloy, samples after ECAP are subjected to recrystallization
annealing that provides grain growth to the grain size characteristic of the initial state (IS) of the alloy. Upon ECAP, the
average grain size is found to decrease to 2–2.4 μm and the initial sharp axial texture changes substantially (it decomposes
into several scattered orientations). The type of orientations and the degree of their scattering depend on the type of ECAP
routes. The detected change in the texture is accompanied by an increase in the deformability parameters (normal plastic anisotropy
coefficient R, strain-hardening exponent n, relative uniform elongation δu) determined upon tensile tests at 20°C for the states of the alloy formed in the IS-4A-4Bc and IS-4Ao-4BcO sequences. The experimental values of R agree with the values calculated in terms of the Taylor model of plastic deformation in the Bishop-Hill approximation using
quantitative texture data in the form of orientation distribution function coefficients with allowance for the activation
of prismatic slip, especially for ECAP routes 4Bc and 4BcO. When the simulation results, the Hall-Petch relation, and the generalized Schmid factors are taken into account, a correlation
is detected between the deformability parameter, the Hall-Petch coefficient, and the ratio of the critical shear stresses
on prismatic and basal planes. 相似文献

A commercial as-cast ME21 magnesium alloy containing rare-earth (RE) element was processed by equalchannel angular pressing to obtain fine-grained micro structure. Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviors of the fine-grained samples were studied by slow-strain-rate testing in air, distilled water and Hanks’solution at the strain rate of 1×10~(-6) s~(-1). All samples show a relatively low SCC sensitivity in distilled water but a great SCC tendency in Hanks’ solution. The microscopic observations of the fracture surfaces and the side surfaces reveal obvious active anodic dissolution and hydrogen embrittlement cracks, which indicate the higher SCC susceptibility in Hanks'solution. The fine-grained microstructure with more crystal defects promotes the passivation process of the oxide film and restrains the hydrogen induced cracking of the ME21 magnesium alloy, leading to the higher general corrosion resistance as well as SCC resistance. 相似文献

The structure of a Zr-2.5% Nb alloy after equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 690–700 K and annealing in the temperature
range 670–1070 K is investigated. The structure of the Zr-2.5% Nb alloy deformed by ECAP is an irregular grain-subgrain oriented
structure with an enhanced dislocation density, a cross-section of 30–150 nm of oriented structural elements, and an equiaxed-grain
(subgrain) size of 50–200 nm. Heating after ECAP in the temperature range 720–770 K for 3–5 h is proposed for the formation
of an ultrafine-grained equilibrium structure in the ECAP deformed Zr-2.5% Nb alloy. Heating of the Zr-2.5% Nb alloy after
ECAP at 723 K for 5 h leads to the formation of a predominantly equiaxial submicrocrystalline structure with a grain size
of 150–500 nm. Equal-channel angular pressing of the Zr-2.5% Nb alloy increases the yield strength to 622 MPa, which is higher
than that in the as-delivered undeformed state by a factor of 1.6. In this case, the relative elongation decreases. Heating
of the ECAP deformed Zr-2.5% Nb alloy at 723 K for 5 h decreases the yield strength to 504 MPa, but the relative elongation
increases to 14%. 相似文献

Severe plastic deformation by equal-channel angular pressing according to the Conform schedule (ECAP-Conform) is used for
the first time to produce long titanium rods in a nanostructured state. As a result of ECAP-Conform followed by drawing, the
ultimate strength of Grade 4 titanium increases to 1350 MPa, and its yield strength increases to 1300 MPa at a high retained
plasticity. The high efficiency and output of the ECAP-Conform method allow the development (on its basis) of a commercial
technology for the production of high-strength nanostructured titanium, which is a promising material for medical implants. 相似文献
